    Hi! We are planning to visit for a 5 day trip and get the park hopper plus option. We would like to go to MK for 2 days, then a water park, then AK and HS each for a day. Do I need a 4 day or a 5 day Park Hopper Plus? I am confused on the water park entry.

    Hello there from the Tri-State Sara! I'm Jeremy from Jersey and this sounds like a solid visit coming soon. With Park Hopper Plus you are going to have a ball this Spring. Let's go over the benefits of this add-on to your park ticket.

    With a 4-day ticket with Park Hopper Plus starting on April 16th you will have until April 22nd to use those 4 tickets. Those 4 tickets will be used for Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios or even EPCOT. You will be able to visit any of those parks on the days you decide are park days. The other great part is you will have 4 other visits to one of the following. A Walt Disney World water park, ESPN Wide World of Sports, Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, Foot Golf at Disney's Oak Trail, Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland miniature golf. You can do these activities on days you do not go to the theme parks. Your entire week will be full of magic! The mini golf has to be before 4 p.m. and the golf options require tee times to be set reserved. The water parks are always taking turns being refurbished so you can visit either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach whichever is open during your visit. 

    If by chance you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel there is a special for 2025. On your check-in day only you can visit a water park for free in 2025! You may not need to purchase the park hopper plus option if that is the case. Especially if you plan on visiting only one park per day. You could save a decent amount of dollars for more Disney snacks. Speaking of snacks, we have to talk about something. I noticed you did not have EPCOT on your plans to visit. Let me tell you some of my favorite things to do while visiting are the EPCOT festivals. The International Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom during your vacation, and I cannot allow this opportunity to pass me by. If you do end up getting the Park Hopper Plus option, I would say at the very least go for the Outdoor Kitchens that serve up the seasons freshest ingredients. There is also the Garden Rocks Concert Series that always serves up a rocking show. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for the Foodie Guide for that festival and all the yummy snacks and beverages offered this year. 

    Hopefully I was able to help clear up any confusion on those benefits of having the Park Hopper Plus option. Head back to planDisney.com anytime you have any other questions.

    Have a magical day,

    Jeremy A.
