Weird question, I know you cannot use the same non-hopping ticket for multiple admissions to park hop. But can you use two different tickets to park hop?

We generally don't park hop much and I was thinking of not getting hopping on our next set of tickets. I found an old pair of tickets from my trip back in, eeek, 97? that according to what I wrote on the envelope have a day left each.

If they're still good and do have that day on them, I imagine the value of applying them to the new tickets we'll be buying isn't going to be that great since the prices have gone up since 1997.

We're probably just going to get 3 day expiring base tickets, it's a short trip and we likely won't be back for a while.

So I was wondering, is it possible to buy a regular non-hop ticket with the amount of days we need for the next trip and use the old 1 day tickets to "hop" if we decide we wanted to check out another park on the same day?

If I have to trade in the old tickets for two new 1 day tickets with the finger scan (that's what they do now, right?) will the computer system "know" the scans are coded to different individual tickets, or will it tie both tickets back to the same person and reject the 1 day ticket because the 3 day has already been used that day? Has anyone tried this?

I know it's probably not the best use of the value of the ticket, more of a convenience. I'm thinking that, okay, if we buy the hopping and never use it, we wasted the money and I don't want to feel obligated to hop because we paid for it. If we decide we want to hop at all, it really probably will be only on our MGM day and if we can just use the old ticket to cover our "plan B", we're not out of pocket any extra money. I paid for those tickets so long ago that really, if it works, it's found money at this point.

If not, it'll probably just go back into the travel folder for a longer trip later where we'll just use it up.

I'm curious about whether or not this would even work, if it doesn't, it's completely not a big deal and we probably won't hop at all.

Sure you can, but as you said, its NOT a good use of the tickets.

You need to think of the "old" tickets as BETTER values than the new ones.
The "old" tickets are now worth as much as a NEW single-day ticket... pretty expensive to just "burn up" by using it to hop to another park.

Either hang on to the old tix for the future or USE them as a full admission to a theme-park. The hopper upgrade is less money than the value of the old tix.
 
Why not use the remaining day for both parks on your "hopping" day? Then purchase a MYW base pass for just enough days to cover your other non-hopping park days, in your case a 2-day base ticket. Cost of a 2-day base tickets is $133.13. The cost of a 3-day MYW base ticket is $192.77. That's a difference of nearly $60 per person.

Plus, if the OP then decides to hop, can't she just upgrade to hoppers at that time?
 

Use (and be very careful about it) only one ticket on any given day for theme park admission.

Either buy a 3 or more day pass, with hopping if you need it, and save the old pass with one day remaining for further in the future, or buy a 2 day pass using the old pass for one of the three days.

Using two tickets (different cards) on the same day will not run you into any finger scan complications but it will waste you a lot of money.
