WDW Daily ticket vs. park hopper

[Spiffie]

My family and I are going to Disney in September for a very quick 3 day trip. We were going to buy Park hoppers because we wanted to visit both AK and HS on the same day. However, I noticed that it would be cheaper for me to buy 4-day tickets instead of 3-day Park Hoppers. Can I use two tickets on one day for two different parks?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Unfortunately that won't work. The non-parkhopper tickets will only work for one park per day. They won't allow you to use two days off a ticket in the same day. If you attempt to enter a second park, the computers recognize that the ticket was scanned at a different park earlier in the day and will reject it. You have to purchase the parkhopper if you want to visit more than one park in a day.

Many people ask this question, sorry, Disney won't let you do that.
If it were me I would just skip one of those parks this trip.
Welcome to the dis though!!!!

I'm not sure about this at all, as we don't hop, but I know you can add the hopper option after you are there. If you did the two parks on your last day, and added the hopper option then, would they only only charge you as a hopper ticket for that day, not on the days already used?

Nope! they charge you for how many days the ticket was for to begin with.

Nope. If you buy the Hopper option after the fact, it will be charged on the full basis of the ticket.

The hopper option is a flat fee, no matter how many days are on the ticket. You can add it at any time.

Where have you people been all my life! Thank you so much for your replies! We did as suggested and just decided to skip AK this trip.

Again, thanks for being so kind with your information!
