Disney Hopper Passes; Tips and Advice

Disney hopper passes are tickets that are bought as an extra to the”magic your way” tickets. You cannot just buy a Disney hopper ticket as this will not be allowed. You will need to buy “magic your way” ticket to enable you to gain access to the 4 theme parks.

The four theme parks are:
Epcot
Disney Hollywood Studios
Disney Animal Kingdom
Magic Kingdom

What the Disney Hopper Ticket enables you to do is go to more than one theme park on the same day. This obviously comes at a price, $45 for this option but it is needed if you feel like jumping from theme park to theme park.

Magic Theme Park ticket enables you to enter the theme of your choice for that given day; you may not exit and go to another theme park without purchasing the hopper option.

As you want to enter a theme park my advice would be to do some research on the theme park before entering and figuring out which rides you would like to ride. You will become overwhelmed by the amount of choices available to you. Do not wait to purchase tickets on the day I highly recommend that you purchase tickets way before you get to Disneyworld.

Only buy tickets from reputable online stores and ticket resellers. Do not buy tickets from eBay, as tickets are non-transferrable. They actually work with your fingerprint and once loaded to the ticket cannot be changed. Stay clear from people who sell tickets on the side of the road or outside of hotels, trust me there are always people trying to make a quick buck.

When you do make a choice on what ticket to buy make sure you choose the correct number of days ticket. If you are staying for 5 days do not purchase a 3 day ticket hoping to save money. You will have to buy a 2 day ticket plus the hopper option again; it might just cost you half the price of a 3 day ticket with hopper option. Disney calls this Play more, pay less per day.

I would recommend taking the hopper option if this is your second trip to Disneyworld or if you stay so long at a park and the park closes early. You still have the option to go to another park in the evening and enjoy yourself.
