Park Ticket Questions

[stevehousse]

I have purchased 5 day magic your way tickets do the world. I was thinking of changing our plans a little but I want to make sure it is possible. Am I allowed to use one of those days at a waterpark, or is it only good for the theme parks?

 

[real mad hatter]

We have 14 day park hopper tickets which include both water parks.I would guess yes,you should be able to do water parks..Are your tickets Park Hoppers.?

 

[stevehousse]

No park hopper, we have 2 boys, 4 and 2, so park hopping really doesn't work for us since they are so young.

 

[real mad hatter]

Ok. Your tickets should tell you what's included,but if its not a park hopper,then you would have to stay one full day at TL or BB tho you can still go to downtown Disney.Master Yoda would be the perfect person to answer this question correctly,incase Ive got it wrong.

You have to pay an additonal fee for the water parks

There you go..Another unbelievable fact Ive learnt.I'am beginning to think the UK 14 day ( for the price of 7 ) is a bargain.We can hop till we bop for 14 days & nights for around $360

 

[lovepooh]

That is a bargain!! But then again you have to pay a high airfare to come to the states so it all works out

 

[real mad hatter]

Yeh,there's ups & downs I suppose.We book our vacation as a package.Resort,Flights,transfers from Sanford,Park tickets & free DDP.So the total for the three of us in July staying at a moderate is round about $6.500. Thats 14 nights.Ive looked at booking flights separate,then booking Disney resort via Disney web,then taxi from Sanford,but it works out about the same.

She's right. Tickets start with the base 1 park per day Hoppers are extra and you can hop between parks You can then add WPM for an additional fee to be able to hop and go to the water parks! Good luck!

A base ticket only lets you into the "major" gates, one park per day. Adding hopping lets you get into multiple "major" gates each day. To get entrance to a "minor" gate, you would need to add WP&M to your base ticket. Even if you have hopping, going to multiple "minor" gates in the same day uses a new WP&M credit for each "minor" gate you go to.

The only exception to this would be some of the tickets sold to international tourists as part of a length of stay package.

Major gate = MK, DHS, Epcot, AK. Minor gate = TL, BB, DQ, and one of the golf courses (don't remember which but you can play 9 holes)

That's such a great price. We can only buy 10 days. After that, you start over. Our Magic Your Way ticket only includes the four main parks. The water parks and hoppers are extra. We always pay for the hopper, but never the water parks. We can do that close to home. We used to be able to get 14 day tickets, but now only 10.

Parks only you have to add water parks on or just buy a one day ticket for the water park.

 

[bethymouse]

Add water parks and more plus a park hopper option, but this makes it much more expensive!

So here's a definitive answer for the OP (to remove any possible confusion the side discussion about the special UK-resident tickets might have caused)

Regardless of whether the tickets you bought are Base Magic Your Way Tickets or tickets that include the Park Hopper option, days on those tickets cannot be used for entrance to a water park. You will either have to buy single-day water park tickets or add the Water Parks & More option onto your existing tickets when you get down there. *But*, if you're only going to the water park for one day, the single-day ticket is the cheaper option. Adding the WP&M option would get you *five* admissions to the water parks, DisneyQuest, etc.

$52.00 for a one day admission to one water park

or

$57.00 for the Water Parks and More option
(which for a 5 day base ticket would give you an additional 5 days admission to Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, DisneyQuest, Disney’s Oak Trail golf course, or ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.)

prices do not include sales tax

With the ages of your boys, you may want to wait a few years to hit the water parks. Most of the slides are too big for them to enjoy and I would be worried about my kids in a lot of the water elements there.
