Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

A friend of mine is planning to go to WDW in about a year (1st visit) and they are wondering what would be the best ticket choices for their family (2 adults, and a 5-yr. old) . They want to hit all the parks including the water parks. Thy texted me this question, and I’m hoping someone can answer this.
So the question is…

“Can I buy a 4-day ticket with water parks… which would be valid for an 8-day stretch… and be able to visit a theme park on 4 different days AND visit a water park on 4 other days in that same 8-day stretch. So essentially visit either a theme park or a water park everyday for 8 consecutive days. All for the price of $581 per ticket”

I don't know where they are seeing the $581 per ticket price (prices looked higher even before taxes when I looked at June 2026), but a 4-day base ticket with the water parks and sports option is good for four theme park admissions (one per day for four days) and four water parks and sports visits, to be used in an 8-day period. The four water parks and sports visits can be used for four water park admissions on the days they don't go to the theme parks. So, the answer is yes (except possibly for the price).

Yes, 4 days in the theme parks and 4 waterpark or other plus entries. Note the waterpark/plus options can be used more than 1 per day or doubled up with a theme park day.
A 4-day base ticket with watersports option is valid for a total of 8 days.
A 4-day parkhopper-plus is valid for 8 days.

It looks as though they may be planning late July or Aug 2026 for that price. However I think they quoted only the base ticket. The water parks/sports option added to a base ticket is ~$70 additional, or PH+ is ~$120 added.

A 4-day base ticket with watersports option is only valid for a total of 7 days.
A 4-day parkhopper-plus is valid for 8 days.

A 4-day base ticket with water parks and sports option is valid for 8 days (including the first and last day), the same as a Park Hopper+.

Thank you for that correction! Did it change at some point? Or am I just remembering incorrectly. I’ll correct my post above.

I don't know if it has been that way forever, but it is not a recent change.
