Hi Ken,
It sounds like you're planning a super fun visit for this August! I'm assuming that you're looking at the
Park Hopper Plus Option tickets? While Park Hopper Option tickets are valid for theme park entrance, once you add that magical "Plus" to your tickets, it allows you the opportunity to also experience some extra, fun visits to Disney water parks, select golf courses, or the ESPN Wide World of Sports. Generally, you'll be allowed as many visits to those additional, fun options as days of tickets that you've purchased, however, the one-day tickets are the one exception. If you purchase a one-day Park Hopper Plus Option ticket, you'll receive one day of admission to all of the theme parks, with the ability to hop between them,
plus TWO extra fun visits, allowing you to experience the magic all around the Walt Disney World Resort. The great news is that you don't need to use those two additional visits on the same day and you don't even need to visit on consecutive days. You'll just want to be sure that you enjoy all of your visits within 14 days of your ticket's first use or else they'll expire, and that certainly wouldn't be magical!
I do have a couple of Moms Panel tips for you! First, be sure to check out
Miss Adventure Falls, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park's newest family raft ride, that just happens to be the longest Disney water park ride ever. My family had a blast on it! Also, don't miss the
Mini Donuts at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park. Mmm...SO yummy!
Thanks for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Ken, and have a truly magical vacation!
