Newbie Ticket Question--3 day vs 4 day

[marshallandcartersmo]

Hi all and thanks in advance for your help. I'm planning a 6 night stay in late April for myself, husband, and two boys (2 and 5). Staying onsite (POR--maybe???) and planning to go to MGM, AK, MK, TL, and Sea World (I know I know, I'm sneaking to the outside for a day). I had decided to buy 3 day base tickets, and water park tickets seperate, thinking if I plan like crazy we'd be able to do each park in a day and wouldn't have to worry about hopping back and forth. Now I'm thinking, what if I get there, do MK one day, and decide we just couldn't do it all in one day and want to go back one afternoon after another park (like AK or MGM).
Can we just pay the additional fee to add the hopper option onto our existing tickets, or would we have to buy another full price one day ticket for another day?
Is it even realistic to think we can do those 3 parks in one day each?
Hope I'm asking my question clearly enough. Thanks..........

You can do any park in a day, but you will be missing a lot with the shows, shops, and just plain fun that goes on everyday. You can add a park hopper option when you get there. I believe it is a flat fee of 45.00. That is what we plan on doing.

I suggest you go over to mousesaver.com and read about how the tickets work. The longer you stay the less per day it becomes. It is really cheaper per day after you go past something like 5 days.
I agree with another poster that you will NOT be able to do everything so don't even try. Pick out the things you really want to do first. Then hope you can do some of the rest. WDW is far too big to get everything done in one (or even one hundred) visits. Don't ruin your trip by trying to jam everything into a short stay.
