Question about YES IE Tickets??!!

[Cierese]

Let see who can answer me this...

I know there are different tickets: Starter, Hopper, and Premium.

Now my question is about the Premium....

We do not plan to do water parks while we are there, but looking at Quest and comparing the price and wondering.... those 'entries' are they to be used on the same days as park days or can they be used on different days? For example: We plan to be there for 8 days, but only buy the Premium 5 day. Can we do parks on 5 days and then the other on the other 3 days?? This part is confusing to me.

Thanks!!

That's how it worked for us in October. We bought 8 days and had 8 days in the park and 8 days of waterpark or DQ uses.

so, the DQ and water parks entries can be used on separate days?

So you could go to a Water Park and Disney Quest in the same day, but it counts as 2 entries.

This post includes the assumption you have a ten day MYW ticket with both the Park Hopper and Water Park Fun and More (WPF&M) options.

Hopefully this will make it a little clearer. In effect you have two tickets with different privileges on one card. Everything expires 14 days after first use unless you have the no-expire (NE) option. If you have the NE option all the entitlements are good until they are used up. Even if you use up all your major park days, the WPF&M entries remain valid until used. (Note you do not have to use the days consecutively.)

You have ten days of access to the four major parks (AK, DHS, EC, MK), and may visit more than one major park on a single day without any extra charges. Without the Park Hopper option you can only go to one major park per day.

You have ten entries to the minor parks (BB, DQ, OT, TL, WWS). These may or may not be used on the same days as you go to the major parks. However, if you went to TL in the morning, Oak Trail* in the afternoon, and Disney Quest in the evening of one day you would have used three of the ten entries. (Note that leaving and returning to the same minor park on the same day does not use an extra entry.)

If you go to minor parks only on one day and do not go to a major park you do not use up one of your major park days.

If you were to go to a Water Park in the morning and then one of the major parks for the remainder of the day you would have used one minor park entry and one day of major park entry.

Note that with the MYW ticket unless you have the hopper option you can only go to one major park per day. Unless you have the WPF&M option you cannot go to a minor park without upgrading or purchasing a separate ticket.

*Oak Trail is a nine-hole "Executive" walking (no carts) golf course. Each person must have their own set of clubs and they can be rented for $15 per person if they don't bring their own.

Summary: Disney Quest in the morning, Blizzard Beach in the afternoon, back to DQ in the evening -- Consumes zero days and two water park fun visits with or without hopping.

Works the same way for all tickets with X number of water park fun visits (Youth Education Series, Stars and Stripes, Park Hopper Plus, etc.) Currently, pre-2005 hoppers are not honored at Disney Quest.

Thanks guys! Tha's exactly what I was understanding and just wanted to be sure. Just didn't want to buy up a bunch of days/entries I knew we wouldn't be using! Thanks again!!

Yes. The YES IE tickets are good from 7 days before your check-in date to 7 days after, and within that timeframe you can use either your major park days or your WP&M entries in any combination you wish (well, except for that urban myth about using two park days to avoid buying hoppers, but that doesn't apply for YES premium tix anyway ).
