Our trip is all set for December 15-20 with 4 day park hoppers and free dining. I think we have made a mistake planning MK for Saturday the 17 and Epcot for the 18th. We're thinking about flip flopping the days in the parks but need to keep dinner reservations at Ohana's on Saturday and Flying Fish on Sunday. If you're still following me, can we add an extra day to our tickets at check in and use that day to enter Epcot on Sunday evening (after spending the day at MK) to catch Illuminations? We don't need hoppers for any thing else, so hate to spend the extra money for six people.
 
Sorry, you cannot add an extra day for park hopping purposes. We would if we could LOL!
 
Unfortunately, no. You will need a park hopper to go over to Epcot. The turnstiles won't allow entry using an extra day.
 
Sorry, but the only way to go to 2 parks in one day is to get a park hopper.
 

Well, no, you can not do that. You need to purchase the park hoppers, that is unless you buy six additional one day tickets outside of your package which would be much more expensive then adding the park hopper. If your package already includes Hoppers than I would keep them so you can go from park-to-park. Now you don't need to enter Epcot to go to Flying Fish, you can take a bus to Boardwalk. If that is the only time you plan on using hoppers, than it might be a waste. Keep in mind Disney charges $50 to remove anything within 45 days of your trip. Hope this helps! Happy holidays and have a fun trip!
 
Okay, I went back to your post and you mention you have park hoppers.:confused3 if this is the case, you should be fine.
 
If your tickets already have the hopper option, you're fine. I don't believe you can 'downgrade' a ticket and get a refund.....so if you already have those hoppers, might as well use them.
 
LOL! 1200 posts on this board from the poster and still asking that question!

Yeah, I missed that part, I guess because I'm so used to people asking if they can buy extra days on a non-park hopper ticket in order to park hop. ;) And since they're planning on being in a park on that day anyway, they certainly don't need to add a day.
 
I wouldn't switch. December 18th is the LAST party day for MVMCP. So unless it's your plan to go to the MVMCP i'd stay with your original plans. Otherwise, don't expect to go back to MK after Ohanas. But that's just me.

Your post is a little confusing.

If you have MYW with the Park Hopper option aka "Park hoppers" you can go to any of the parks you want in any order in a day as many times as you want.

If you have base MYW tickets without hopping, as others have posted you can not use an extra day to hop to another park. Also park hopping is the same for any tickets over 2 days and its $55 per ticket.
 
I'm still trying to figure out how someone with this many posts and with the number of visits recorded on her signature can not understand how park hoppers work.:confused3

You might want to stick with your original plans, there is a MVMCP at MK on the 18th. If you haven't already bought those tickets you would have to leave the park early that night.

Bit harsh... It's impossible to know everything. I certainly don't.

Why? I'm new. Is there a limit on the number of questions or posts one can have? No dumb questions allowed? No brain freezes? I'm just asking, no malice intented minnie mum.

No worries! Ask as many questions as you want. Most people will be glad to answer your questions and help you plan a magical visit to Walt Disney World!

IMO there's no limit to questions. It's just this particular question is asked a lot and usually by people who are brand new to Disney. It's not just the amount of Disney trips, but also posts here, since the question is asked a lot and the OP has a lot of posts, it's just surprising to see a "Disney 101" type of question asked that's all.

Of course there is no harm in asking, this is what the DIS is all about, planning ahead so you're as informed as possible for your trip. :goodvibes

Sorry, but you'd have to buy separate single day tickets to accomplish this.

According to the original post they've already got park hoppers. If you have park hoppers you can enter as many parks as you want on a single day.

If the OP actually doesn't have park hoppers, then they can't use two days of a multi-day ticket on a single day, nor can they use a day added to a multi-day ticket; they'd have to buy entirely separate one-day tickets to get into Epcot, and I'm not sure they would want to spend more than $80 pp to see a 13-minute show at Epcot.

It's also not possible to add park hopping to just one day on a multi-day ticket.
 
I hate it that so many boarders get "turned off" because of the know-it-all, harsh posters. Ask away, that is what these boards are for.

I'm surprised someone with as many posts as you hasn't learned to disregard repeated questions that you are so tired of. No one is forcing you to respond to them, and there are many others who are happy to oblige.
