Magic Your Way Base Tickets

[limbrogno]

Hi Folks,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I have a question about my MYW base tickets. I purchased 4 days, but I was wondering if it is possible to use the tickets to visit 2 different parks on one day, realizing that this will "use up" 2 of our days.
For example, we would like to visit Magic Kingdom and day 1, Epcot on day 2, and both HS and Animal Kingdom on the same day, using our 3rd and 4th day on the same calendar date. Is this allowed, or do we need to purchase the park hopper option?

Thanks.

No it is not possible. To be able to visit more than one park in a day you need the park hopper option which runs about $52.

FWIW you can add hopping at any time, the price is the same so if you decide halfway thru your trip you want to add it you can add it on when you want to hop. That way if you don't use the hopping option for any reason yo uare not out that $$.

A base ticket is one major (theme) park per day. You are allowed to re-enter the same park if you leave it on one day, but it can only be used at the one park.

Note that the ticket will state on it either "Not Valid For Park Hopping" or "One Theme Park Per Day". That should be a hint.

If you put the ticket in the turnstile of another park the display on the Guest side of the turnstile will be "ACCESS DENIED". The top line of the display on the Greeter side will give information about the ticket, and the second line of the display will say "CROSSOVER NOT PERMITTED". The turnstile will not unlock.

This is because Disney charges $3.00 per day over four days on a ticket, but charges $52 to allow hopping. It does not make economic sense for Disney to allow this.

If you actually have multiple tickets (more than one physical ticket per person) as opposed to multiple day tickets, you can use these tickets for multiple entries. But it makes absolutely no economic sense as a separate ticket costs a lot more than adding hopping to a ticket.

Or, as I recently told a Guest who was arguing with me about using a different day on the ticket:

The turnstile computer thinks today is Friday. The turnstile computer at the other park also thinks today is Friday. The two turnstile computers talk to each other. If you can convince this turnstile computer that today is not the same Friday as the other computer thinks, it will let you in.
