One day flexible ticket?

[Thumper99]

We would like to buy a one day ticket “ just in case” we want to visit a park for our trip next week. Not sure which day we’d go because we want to check on weather and such. But when I go to just buy a one day ticket I have to pick a date. Is there a way to buy just one, one day ticket and be flexible on which day or if we even use it at all on the trip? If I pick a specific date can I change it when there or not use it now and use it later?

The "flexible" option is not available and 1-day tickets are all date-based. You'll also need a parks reservation, so I would buy based on the weather report or as soon as your plans firm up. If you do need to change the date, yes the ticket can be changed either on-site or usually through MDE, paying any extra required for the new date. If you can, change it before it expires (if you buy for Tuesday and decide to go Thursday, change it on Tuesday), otherwise it may disappear from your view in MDE and you will have to call or do it in-person. Be sure to change your park reservation as well.

Thank you! Is this just because it’s a one day ticket? Would I have the flexibility if it were a two or three day ticket? And if I buy a two day ticket I still have to use those in a certain date range or they expire right? So disappointed I can’t just buy tickets to have for future use like I used to.

The number of days on a ticket dictate how many days the ticket remains valid.

Ticket Duration Valid Use Period
1-Day Ticket valid one day on the date selected (Next day can be used for “+ Option” with a PH+ ticket)
2-Day Ticket Any 2 days within 4 days beginning on start date (5 days with PH+)
3-Day Ticket Any 3 days within 5 days beginning on the start date (6 days with PH+)
4-Day Ticket Any 4 days within 7 days beginning on the start date (8 days with PH+)
etc.
(PH+ is a "Park Hopper Plus" ticket)
