park hopper vs. flex tickets

[nosnerk]

Hi,

Will be going to the area for 3 days prior to the cruise. What are the differences between these ticket options besides the obvious? Can you park hop with the Flex Tickets and just blow your days? We most likely will not return again so the non-expiring park hopper doesn't matter. Flex saves us $100 (family of four). Is park hopping hard to do because of the distances? We live in So Cal and the park hopping here is a 2 minutes walk.

thanks in advance

Do you mean Ultimate Park Hopper passes when you refer to Flex Tickets? The UPHs are are good for all of Disney's theme parks, water parks, Pleasure Island, Disney's Wide World of Sport Complex and DisneyQuest from the time you check in until midnight of the day you check out. If you have a land/sea package, these are the passes included. These passes do allow you to park hop. Park hopping is relatively easy. If you are staying at a Disney resort, you will receive a transportation guide at check-in. It will explain how to get between parks. It isn't a two minute process. It usually takes about one hour.

No, the Flex tickets I saw reference to allow unlimited admission to WDW parks for 14 contiguous days and are only $175 as compared to $205 for the 4 day park hopper.

We only want to see MK, Epcot, and Universal, but want flexibility if possibile.

You will want to double check the details about the Flex Ticket. I don't think the Flex Ticket includes the Disney Parks!!! I'm pretty sure the Flex Ticket is for Universal, Sea World, Wet 'n Wild and perhaps Busch Gardens - not Disney.

The Flex Ticket does not include any of the Disney parks. The 4 Park Flex ticket is good for Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, and Wet 'n' Wild. The 5 Park Flex adds Busch Gardens into the mix.
