Park hopper question

[cstyles112]

I got 4- 2 day hoppers as a gift. theres only 3 of us who would need a ticket. We wanted to stretch it to three days by using the 4 tickets. question is does the same person need to use the same hopper ticket both days or do they not check, cause it states that it must be same person both days on back of tickets. thanks

I guess I don't understand how you would stretch 4 X 2 to equal 3 x 3? The two-day park hoppers have to be used by the same person on both days. The fourth 2-day hopper can only be used by one person and couldn't be scanned twice in the same day as a new ticket if that was your plan?

They check fingerprints so ticket has to be used by same person.

They check fingerprints at WDW. They do not have fingerprint technology at Disneyland yet. They are supposed to be cracking down on the names printed/written on the tickets though.

I was going to buy one additional one day hopper to make it work out.

As you noted in your first post, the tickets are non-transferable. They are not to be passed between various people, but rather used by the same person the entire time.

It would be cheaper to upgrade a 2 day ticket to 3 days instead of buying a 1 day PH. What you can do is go to Guest relations BEFORE you enter the parks and see if they can switch your tickets around....they may be able to give you credit for the extra PH and add days to the other 3.

I agree. The way I see it, you have 8, not 9, entries. Someone would miss a day. [and there is one shared ticket (#4) which is against the rules]:

Ticket#1 Day one, person one
Ticket#2 Day one, person two
Ticket#3 Day one, person three
Ticket#4 Day two, person one
Ticket#2 Day two, person two
Ticket#3 Day two, person three
Ticket#1 Day three, person one
Ticket#4 Day three, person two

-You could upgrade Ticket #3 to a three day PH before you enter DLR to get all three of you in on the third day.
-Or upgrade Ticket #3 AND Ticket#2 and forfeit one day of Ticket #4 to stay within the rules.

I agree with this. Upgrading 2 of the tickets to 3-day park hoppers would still be cheaper (or at least about the same) as purchasing a single-day ticket.

I would also see if they would be willing to work with you on exchanging the 4th park hopper ticket and adding an additional day onto each of your 3 other park hoppers in its place. Hopefully that way you would be able to get the tickets you need without it costing you much more money.

I don't know if they will be able to do that for you, but I would say it's worth a shot and may end up saving you money in the end (as 3 3-day passes are cheaper than 4 2-day passes).
