HEEEELPPPP!!! Graduation Present in the works...Ticket question!

[samiet620]

Hello all!! Trying to plan a graduation present for my baby girl!!! But have to convince the man with the cash!!! Ok so here is the plan and then you will understand my question about the tickets.
We plan on going 5 days but we do the parks for 4 days relax and do Downtown Dis on the 5th day.
On the 4 park days we only want to go to HWS,AK and MK..we really dont like Epcot (sorry Epcot lovers!) MK we want just a base ticket we will do that park just 1 day. We want AK & HWS tickets with the hopper for the 4 days.
My Question: CAN I DO THIS and if so do I do this directly @ each park or over the phone or what??? I am figuring I would actually save $ by not buying hopper option for MK since we know we wont use it or Epcot tickets since we know we dont like that park n wont go there.
Please advise me cuz I need to come up with a plan and amount of cash needed!!!!
Thank you all!!!

The Hopper option is a one-time $54 cost that allows hopping on ALL days. (plus tax)

You simply buy a park ticket for the number of "days" that you want
(that ticket will be usable at any of the 4 theme parks... of your choice) plus, buy the hopper option.
You can even WAIT to buy the hopper option until you are sure you'll need it.
It is the same price bought in advance or during your trip.

Same goes for adding "days" to your ticket.
That can be done during your trip as well.

The hopper option allows you to go to multiple parks in one day, there is no specific park option. It is one price, no matter how many days you want to use it or how many parks you want to see. It sounds like you would need 4 day park hoppers for your plan to work.
Have a great trip.

The tickets are not sold for a specific park, there's no such thing as an "MK ticket". If you buy a base 1 day ticket, it is valid for whichever park you enter first that day, you don't buy a specific park ticket. If you buy a 4 day hopper, it will allow you into all 4 parks for 4 days, you don't have to pick.
