Hey Howdy Hey Robin and welcome to planDisney!
It is super exciting to hear that you are in the midst of planning your Magical vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort next month. Thank you for your question about specifics with theme park tickets and your vacation package. I will be happy to review your options.
As you have found out Robin, when booking a vacation package with the Walt Disney Company, this is an all-or-nothing scenario. If you wanted to book tickets with the
Park Hopper Option, this would be for your entire trip or none of it. What you can do, is to book your vacation package with general admission tickets to 1-park per day and then purchase the one day with the hopper option by itself.
You can make this happen in two separate purchases. So if you know you want to use the 1-park per day option for say 3 days early in your trip, that is what you will book. After your transaction, you can book a ticket for your group for one day with the hopper option on it. The separate ticket with the hopper option is good for that day only. Depending on how many days you purchase your 1-park per day option, this would have
availability ranges.
I hope you continue to enjoy the process of planning your Magical vacation. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
