Question about 4 day park hopper plus

[jjarman]

This site offers 4 day park hopper plus passes for $216. What is the plus in the park hopper plus?

 

[tjkraz]

The PLUS feature represents one VISIT to Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon (water parks) or Pleasure Island. You can say all day with the one visit if you wish, but you cannot leave the park and return in the same day.

Note that this Plus visit does NOT use one of your 4 park hopping days if you choose not to enter one of the main 4 theme parks on that day. In other words, you can actually get 5 full days of entertainment from a 4 day PHP if you visit the main parks for 4 days and a water park on a separate day.

Are you saying someone cannot go to say BB and leave and then return? They have to stay the entire day?

That's always been my understanding of how the Plus "options" work. Every time you walk through the turnstile, another option is used up on a PHP--even if it is same park, same day.

It would have been a lot easier if Golden Oldie was here, but, I did a search and this is what I found on Deb's site:

Do I have to use my Plus options in different places or can I go back to a place twice?

You can use them all at the same venue if you so desire. You have two limitations. One is that you can only use it for one person. You cannot have a group of three use three options off your one pass. The second one is that you will use a separate Plus option for EACH water park, PI, or WWoS admission you do on the same day. You are allowed to go to one, have your hand stamped upon leaving and then return to the same one on a given day but you cannot park hop between the Plus venues like you can with the major park days.

Well that certainly does seem to contradict my statement. Unless someone steps forward and claims that they were denied re-entry as described above, I'll defer to the info on Deb's site.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Not true. Disney does not have any admission media that doesn't allow exiting and returning to the same park on the same day.

Reentry rules are the same property wide. Using a plus option would be just like buying a normal ticket to the park. And showing the ticket and the handstamp (or wristband for PI) gains you reentry without using another plus option. So same day entry to any park - major or minor - always counts as only one admission.

Hey, no problem, this is how we learn, sharing information.

I sure am glad you straightened this out for us. I was going into panic mode.

No need to panic. You know I'd get to the question eventually. Some of us do have a real life, ya know.

BTW, Gail, nice pictures.

Thanks, they were practice shots.

Real life? You mean away from the boards? Imagine that.

I was not really in a panic mode, just teasing, there is more to life than Disney and more to panic about.
