Hopper passes questions?

[grahamgallagher]

Is it correct that hopper passes do not expire? As we may need new passes this year if we over stay...so wanted to know the best place to buy new hopper passes that is the best value.

Any ideas greatly accepted.

The only passes that do no expire once used are the Non-expiration option you can add on to any passes before using or within a certain amount of time of first using. Regular park hopper passes will expire 14 days from first use, just like any ticket w/o the non-expiration option.

The tickets we have from 2 previous trips must be non expiring as we have used them twice before, with 1 water park and 1 day theme park left on them.

So we can buy any ticket and ask for them never to expire??

Well, you can, but it's expensive. You'll just have do do the math and see what works out best for you, but in general, it's only a good deal if the tickets will cover more than 2 complete trips.

Seriously, this sticky is EXCELLENT. Thanks, Chesire, for creating and keeping current. Very helpful (and has been for a long time!)!!!

Our family has gotten 3 trips out of a 10-day hopper with water parks (15- 20 days total). Still have a days left for a 4th trip. Definitely an excellent deal for us since we prefer several short trips and may not go to parks every day. However, the price for the no-expiration option has REALLY increased significantly since we bought these (was $100, now $275 per ticket for the 10 day no-expire). Yikes. Not sure I'd do it again at this point.
