Park Hopper vs. More Days Question

[PrncessA]

On our last trip we didn't get Park Hoppers since it was our first trip and we didn't think we would be able to fit it in. This time we are a bit more experienced and I think that is a possibility to park hop for one or two days.

Here is my question...

It is ALOT cheaper to just buy an extra day of tickets instead of adding the park hopper option. Are you able to use 2 days of tickets in one day if you want to visit two parks in one day and do not have the park hopper?

If this is possible it make much more sense to do this than to get the PH and only use it once.

No, you are not allowed to use 2 tickets for 1 day. Disney is smart, they know that it is cheaper to just add days. If you want to visit 2 parks in one day, you must have a Parkhopper. You can add parkhoppers to your tickets while you are there. So if you have a desire to parkhop, you could just add it. If you don't then you don't spend the money. We got parkhoppers in Sept and didn't parkhop. So it was a waste. I'm thinking in May, we might not get them, and if we need to we can add it later.

Above poster is right, you can't use 2 tickets for different parks in one day.

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.

Great that was just what I wanted to know! Thank you!
