One day hopper questions!

[SRB-93]

Been to all of the parks countless times, just passing through Orlando and would be spending the Morning in WDW and then Epcot in the afternoon as it's extended opening hours too.

Either buy it at the entrance or buy online from Disney's American website. You go to the Disney's website:

disneyworld.disney.go/

... and then at the top of the page you will see "UK & Ireland (English)", click on this and change it to "United States (English)", hopefully you can now access the tickets. It's a bit hit and miss though if you try and buy them as it sometimes directs you back to the UK site.

The price of the 1 day hopper depends on the day you select, but it's around $185 (roughly £145).

You can also buy the 1 day tickets from UndercoverTourist.com but they cost slightly more.



You only pay once per day. So you can move your car from HS to MK's parking lot (at the Transport and Ticket Center) and not pay anything extra.

Parking is currently $22 per day for a regular car.



Here's a link to Disney's website that explains the One Day Memory Maker a bit more:

disneyparks.disney.go/bl...-can-i-buy-it/

Unfortunately there's no link to buy it because you can't pre-purchase it.

One Day Memory Maker is available for $69. You have the option to purchase it in the My Disney Experience mobile app once you’ve linked at least one Disney PhotoPass photo to your account from the day, or at theme park ticket windows and Disney PhotoPass Centers.



Actually, it'll mean you get less time in MK. MK will close at 7pm. You need to buy a separate ticket for MNSSHP. You can't attend MNSSHP with just a normal 1 day hopper.

It would be better for you to go when MNSSHP isn't on so that you get to see the fireworks.



You don't need a MagicBand to book fastpasses. All you need is to link your one day hopper ticket to your Disney account. You'll then be able to book fastpasses 30 days (or less) before the day you plan to visit.

Thank you so much for this, so informative and helpful. I made a typo in the original post though about MNSSHP, I meant to say I would be avoiding this!

Thank you so much!

ETA: I checked the prices. A two day ticket without hopper is only about $25.00 more a one day hopper.

I have been four times before so it isn't our first visit and I wanted to get just my favourite bits done from HS and MK. We dont arrive until 22nd September, so I'm hoping its quieter! It's also down to time as we only have a week in Orlando before going down to Tampa to get on a cruise the second week. We are also visiting both Universal parks, seaworld, volcano bay and Busch gardens so we wouldnt have much time for relaxing and shopping if we did two Disney days.

Lisa,

I am cheap so I wouldn't pay almost two hundred dollars for a day but if you are comfortable doing it, go ahead. We always have hoppers and often hop and I am always surprised as how long it takes.

Have fun and enjoy your trip.

I assume the voucher is just a promissory note and that whoever gifted it to you hasn't actually bought the ticket yet?

Did this person know that it was going to cost around £145 per person for a 1 day hopper? Or did they think that a 1 day ticket would only be around £30 or so, like most other places?

Lisamouse before your typo I was going to suggest rather than Hopping just buying a MNSSHP ticket, it's going to get you in MK for 4pm & if you pick the "right" night going to be approx. half the cost of that 1 day Hopper.
