which ticket is better?

[eazyrider]

We will be staying at All styar Music for 2 days this june and want to do Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. What would be the best opition price wise to buy? I know length of stay is higher than daily ticket but is there a better ticket?

The Ulimate Park Hopper (length of stay pass) will offer you the opportunity to visit more than one park in a single day. You would also be able to visit a waterpark, DisneyQuest and Pleasure Island for no additional cost.

Since the AK closes earlier than the other parks, you would still be able to use the UPH to visit EPCOT, MGM, return to MK or any of the above attractions on your AK evening.

As you already noted, the disadvantage is that there is an additional price to be paid for all that flexibility.

If you might be returning to WDW in the future (and your budget can bear the additional cost right now), you might want to consider purchasing Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus passes. The advantage is that they never expire, you still get to park-hop and the pluses include DQ and PI. On a per-day basis, they are less expensive than the UPHs.

There are lots of variables to this.

#1 - Is there an E-night during your stay that you wanted to participate in? If so, then you at least need a UPH or a 3 day PH in order to be eligible for this event.

#2 - Do you want the ability to change to a different park during the day? If so, you would need at the least a UPH or a 3 day PH pass.

#3 - Do you intend on visiting again in the next year or two? If so, you might come out better using roughly the same amount of money that you would spend on the UPH and instead apply it toward a 4 or 5 day PH pass, so that you would have your tickets paid for the next time you visit.

#4 - Do you have any plans of actually visiting PI, DQ, WWS, or the waterparks during your stay? If not, you might find it cheaper and less wasteful to purchase simple PH tickets.

#5 - You might consider doing a simple 2nd day bounce back ticket if you are not intending to park hop or go to an E-night. It's not the cheapest option in the long term, but it works short term. And by this, I mean that PH days don't expire, so the purchase of a PH ticket with multiple days would be cheaper in the long run if you plan on another 1-5 day visit sometime in the next few years rather than paying top dollar at the prices they will be charging then for admission all over again.


I'm sure that I've missed something, but this gives you some idea of what to think about. Mickey

and the pluses include DQ and PI.

Actually DQ is not included in a PHP, just PI and the water parks.

You can buy a daily ticket (53.25) and before you leave get your next day's ticket for $5 (plus tax) off. But remember, you can't park hop with these tickets.

A 1night/2day UPH (advanced purchase) would be $121.41. This would get you into everything, Parks, PI, DQ, Waterparks.

Or you could get a 4 day PH for 204.48. And the unused days never expire, so you can use them on your next trip. ~~

I always had luck with Park Hopper Pluses. Just save any unused days for your next trip!!!
