    Hi - I have a 4 day park hopper plus ticket. can I visit a water park in the day and then park hop to magic kingdom that same night or does that count against one of my 4 day park admissions. thanks

    Hi Jessica!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney!  With so much to see and do during your visit to Walt Disney World Resort, purchasing theme park tickets with the Park Hopper Plus option is a wonderful idea.  Let's take a look at what you get with these tickets and how to make them work best for your vacation plans!

    Jessica, with your 4-Day Park Hopper Plus tickets, you will get four days of theme park admission (with the ability to hop between the four theme parks each day) as well as four "plus" visits to water parks or other Walt Disney World sports-related fun, such as miniature golf.  This can get a bit confusing, but you want to think of your four theme park visits as a separate "bucket" from your four water park and fun plus visits.  For your specific question, if you visit a water park for part of the day and then head to Magic Kingdom Park that night, you have used one day of your theme park admissions and one of your water park and fun plus visits, leaving you three remaining in each bucket.  To provide a different example, if you start your day at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, play a round of golf at Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, head to EPCOT for dinner, and then hop to Magic Kingdom to watch Happily Ever After, you will have used two of your water park and fun plus visits and one day of theme park admission.

    You can also track the dates your tickets are valid and confirm the number of admissions remaining by viewing your linked tickets in the My Disney Experience Mobile App.  When you open the app, tap the three lines in the bottom corner, then select "My Tickets & Passes."  If you don't see your tickets and need help linking them to your account, you can call a Cast Member at Tickets and Hotel Reservations to assist.

    Don't forget that if you are staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection, you also have access to some great benefits to help you make the most of your time in the parks, including Early Theme Park Entry and advanced booking windows for Lightning Lane passes.  You can also enjoy free water park admission on your check-in day during your visit this August if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel.   

    I hope this information has been helpful, Jessica, and that you enjoy making many magical memories during your summertime visit to Walt Disney World!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!

    Cheers!
