Park Passes (Tickets)

Disney offers various ticket packages and there are so many options to choose from. Each person or family will have different needs and wants and the different packages will suit some better than others. There are a variety of terms thrown about, so understanding what each of these means is important to deciding what is right for you.

Park Hopper - A park hopper ticket allows you to visit multiple parks on the same day.  There may be times where you chose to return to a park that you went to already, maybe the day before on your trip, to do a few more rides that you missed or maybe see that one character who you REALLY wanted to see, but you don't want to spend the whole day at that park. A park hopper pass will let you leave from there and then head over to a different one. The park hopper option ONLY applies to the four main parks. If you think this even is a POSSIBLE scenario for your trip, then I highly recommend spending the extra money to add the park hopper option to your pass.

Water Parks and More Package - The basic Disney pass includes admission to the four main theme parks, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. If you want to visit the Water Parks, Disney Quest, ESPN Wide World of Sports, or the Oak Trails Golf Course, then you will want to get the Water Parks and More Package added to your pass. This package adds a certain number of admissions to these parks. For example, you may get the package of 5 Water Parks and More Admissions. It may be helpful to think of these as points You can utilize these in any way you choose. You could do 5 days at water parks, you could do 3 days at water parks 1 day golfing and 1 day at Disney Quest. It is up to you where you would like to spend your admission points at and you may even use 2 in the same day if you choose. The Water Parks and More locations do NOT work with Park Hopper. If you go to a water park during the day, you can NOT park hop (even if you have the park hop ticket option) to Disney Quest for the evening, you will need to spend 2 of your Water Parks and More Admission points in order to do both in the same day.
