Type Of Tickets???

[Pienut]

Can you get the ultimate park hopper but not for your entire stay...say not get it on the day of arrival? or do you have to have it for your entire stay? Is there a set policy on this? AND do you have to set it up prior to arrival or can you do it once you arrive?

If the ultimate park hopper is the length of stay passes you get with the packages then no, you cannot get it for part of your stay.
It is for your length of stay.

From the ticket page on Deb's web site:

Ultimate Park Hopper Passes are sold two ways: as a package (either included or added) with your WDW room reservation through CRO or WDTC or as a counter sale you purchase upon check in at your resort front desk. The two methods have different restrictions.

When you purchase your UPH's through CRO/WDTC, they are directly tied to the entire length of your reservation and the number in your party; hence the length of stay pass must be purchased by all members of your party (except for holders of AP/PAP's) and must equal the number of nights reserved. Holders of valid AP/PAP's are exempted from this requirement. You must purchase UPH's to cover your arrival day straight through to your departure day. One advantage to purchasing this way is you will get a slightly reduced advance purchase price for each UPH you buy.

If you wait until resort check in to purchase your UPH, you will pay a little more for your UPH's but it may be more advantageous to you since you may have either your arrival day or departure day removed thus saving you some money over the advance purchased UPH's. If your UPH's were purchased as part of a Disney package (Dream Maker, Resort Magic, Grand Plan, etc), you cannot change them to drop a day.

TIP: Resort front desks can sell different tickets to different people right on the Resort ID card. In addition, each person does not have to buy a ticket. They can customize each person's ticket to their specific needs.
