Ticket Question

[RKB]

When we go to WDW this Fall after our DCL cruise our college aged daughter will only be able to go to the parks on Saturday and have to fly home on Sunday afternoon due to having college classes on Monday. The rest of us are going to stay on for a few more days. Here is my question: I was going to get her an all day park hopper for the Saturday that she is there for all day. Now on Sunday morning I was going to let her use my park hopper ticket so she could enjoy a little bit more time at the parks before leaving for the airport. Now I have read something about the machines reading your fingerprint or something like that. Does that mean that she would not be able to get away with using my parkhopper for a couple of hours? I am not going to buy her a whole day ticket when she can only spend one to two hours at a park. Please let me know how this works or if this is a bad idea. TIA!

When you use a ticket the first time, you put 2 fingers in a machine to be biometrically scanned. This links the scan with the pass. So, she won't be able to use your pass on Sunday. I also believe the one day tickets do not have a hopper option.

If you think she will ever go back, it is cheaper in the long run to get more days with the non-expiring option. When we got 10 day passes last year, I think it cost less to add extra days than buying a one day ticket. Try Mousesavers or MapleLeafTickets, you can get better deals than directly through Disney. There are lots of posts here about discounts.

I agree that it isn't worth it if she's only going to be able to go to the parks for a couple of hours. Best advice is to have her forego the parks on Sunday.
