Question on buying just a Regular Disney Ticket to Magic Kingdom...

[devotedchristian]

I just want a regular ticket for one day no add-ons, park hopper, etc..

If I buy a ticket Today...for Magic Kingdom...but my trip is not until October 06, will it have Expired before October? Will they honor my ticket at the gate? Will they say "sorry you bought this ticket in April, you were supposed to have used it in April"?

I'm just so confused on these tickets.

In other words, am I penalized for buying my ticket in advance? I just don't want to waste precious time by standing in line. Also, I am budgeting our trip and want everything paid in full before October. Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Well, as far as your ticket goes, they never expire, so you could actually buy it when ever you would like and use it whenever you would like.

Now, as far as buying the ticket is concerned, I may be wrong about this, but if you are looking to buy a standard, one day ticket, no add-ons or anything else, you cant get a park hopper. I may be wrong, but I believe park hopper tickets are only available for the four and five day passes. Now, if you are staying in a disney resort, you can purchase a MYW pass for one day, with the park hopper option, but it will be unbelievably expensive.

Do you only plan on going into the parks for one day? If not, you may seriously want to rethink your plan.

The ticket will not expire until it is used since the expiration countdown does not start until the first day a ticket is used.

I believe that technically a one day My Way ticket will still be good for 14 days after you first use it in that you can add additional days (upgrade) to the ticket up until the ticket expires.

With the MYW tickets, you can get whatever you want. You can get a one day park hopper ticket. It is not cheap, but it can be bought.
