    If we plan on getting a park hopper for our trip, should we buy the 4-day magic ticket or the 4- day ticket option?

    Hiya Jessica!

    Welcome to planDisney! Park Hopping is a great way to make the most of every moment when visiting Walt Disney World Resort for only four days. 

    When choosing between the 4-Park Magic Ticket and the standard theme park ticket for 4 days I suggest selecting the standard theme park ticket if you want to Park Hop. There is no option to add Park hopping to the 4-Day Magic Ticket. The only add-on option for this 4-Day Magic Ticket is "Water Park and Sports" which lets you visit a Walt Disney World water park or other fun destination like Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course. The standard theme park tickets have the Park Hopper Option and the days that you want so that is the way to go.

    Another way to have an efficient day is to consider using the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass. It will go "live" this week and replace Disney Genie+. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel you can purchase for any day of your trip a Lightning Lane Multi Pass 7 days before you arrive for any day of your trip (up to 14 days). If you do not have a Resort stay then you can purchase it up to 3 days before. After you purchase it you can book times to enter the Lightning Lanes for up to three attractions. Once you enter the Parks and start using these Lightning Lane return times you can book more and they can even be at another Park which is great for when you Park Hop.  

    I hope this helps and you have a magical time!

    Happy Planning!
