Can I go to 2 different parks on the same day without a park hopper?

Headed for Walt Disney World on the 13th. I have already purchased park tickets for each day (7) without a park hopper. I plan on going to a park every day, but if the situation arises and I skip a day can I use that extra day to go to 2 different parks on the same day? Therefore, turning one day into a park hopper day. Just curious.

Dad's that's not the way it works Answer

Eric,

Good question. It would make sense that you could go to two parks in one day if you had a day left on your ticket, but hey, this is Disney. It doesn't work that way.

Once a Magic Your Way ticket is scanned for the day it's only good for the park it was scanned in. You can enter and exit that park as many times as you like, but you can't use your ticket in another park no matter how many days you have left.

Adding the Park Hopper option can be done at any time, but it costs $50.00 plus tax per ticket. That's a lot to pay to spend half a day in a park. However, it is cheaper than buying a one day ticket.

Dad's Bottom Line

Eric, the last time we at Walt Disney World, the kids (18 and 23 at the time) talked me in to upgrading our tickets to park hoppers. They promised me they were going to the Magic Kingdom every night after me and Mrs. Mom went to bed. Didn't happen. I spent $200.00+ upgrading those tickets the kids beat us to bed every night.

Sorry, it won't work. Enjoy your days at the park.
