Hi Brian!
Your Walt Disney World Magic Your Way tickets does not have to be used on consecutive days.
If you purchase a regular, multi-day ticket without adding the No Expiration Option, your ticket usage window begins on the first day you enter a park using them, and expires 14 days after the first day of use. Any time during those 14 days you may use your 4 or 5 days of Park Hopper tickets.
You're free to add in additional activities outside the parks, a day of rest at your resort or whatever you choose to do to fill your family's day with magic!
Here's a link for you to the full information about your
Magic Your Way Tickets and their usage.
Thanks so much for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question. I hope you'll visit me again soon!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World Brian!
