I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this (and I know Sara and Jennifer have answered this on the podcast, but with so many episodes, it's hard to go back and find it!).....but let's say we have a 3-day MYW ticket with an extra day free (thanks, Undercover Tourist!). We're only going for 3 days, though.....so could we use our extra day to park hop and enter another park on the same day? I'm pretty sure we can't, but I want to be sure.

Thanks!

Nope. Doesn't work, Tried it when we were there in December. Ended up paying to change our tickets to park hopper.

No, unfortunately you will not be able to use 2 days worth of admission on the same day. The only way to go to 2 different parks (MK, Epcot, AK or DHS) is to purchase the park hopper option.

Just piling on the "nope." If you could do that, they wouldn't sell the park hopper add-on. As stated the machines know if you have put your ticket through a turnstile that day, and at which park. The days get cheaper the more you buy, so people would just by long tickets and use multiple days. If you have a seven day ticket (what we normally get), the cost of adding PH is under $10/day, so it is worth it to us. You could, of course, purchase a separate one-day ticket, but that costs more than simply adding the PH function.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

I wish!

They'd lose money though. No one would pay for park hoppers unless they were staying more than a week because the cost to add a few extra days is usually cheaper.

No, absolutely not. You cannot use two days of a ticket to enter 2 parks on the same day. I'm not just reiterating what everyone else is saying, I've actually seen it happen in person (not to me but someone else). My mom and I were waiting to get into MK one afternoon on our last trip and the family in front of us had every member of the family go through the turnstiles except their eldest son. Turned out he had gone to Epcot earlier in the day while the family went to the pool. The family only had base one day-one park tickets. It was the turnstiles not the CMs that prevented him from entering. The turnstile scanned his ticket and indicated it had already been used at another park that day and the turnstile would not turn to let him through.

This is why the PH is so definitely worth it. Plus, you never know when you'll get into a park and find it so mobbed that you can't get anywhere or into much of anything easily. Not to mention finding out that a park is full of tour groups on the day you'd planned.

With the PH, you can go wherever whenever. That way you don't have to make sure your lunch/dinner ADR's are in the park where you'll be that day. You can go wherever you like for fun and then eat in two other parks altogether if you like.

We won't go any other way.

We always get park hoppers and I love the freedom they give us. Definitely worth it for our family.

The only way to do this is to buy a one-day, totally separate ticket that is in no way attached to your multi-day ticket.

And the cost difference between adding the park-hopper option (at $57) to your whole ticket (for all days on your ticket) and buying a one-day ticket (at $95) makes the PH the better deal anyway.

So true.
We rarely hop however, and have never felt the need for a park hopper, so we just add it if we need it. A hundred and seventy bucks is a hundred and seventy bucks. Happy to spend it if we need it, but if not...
