Single day & bounce back???

kphil89 · 08-25-2003

How much is the savings when doing this? I am thinking of buying the 4 day hopper pass but not really going to park hop. Would it be cheaper to do the bounce back thing for 4 days? How much is the discount per day for adult & child? Also can you leave the park and reenter later that day?

Typically, the savings is only going to be a couple of dollars per day. In the end, if you are going to use all four days of your pass, you should just go ahead and get the four day hopper. While you don't think you will be hopping, what happens if you get into the Magic Kingdom, and you find out every cheerleader in the US and every tour group in Orlando has chosen to visit the MK that day. With a one day one park ticket, you are stuck there with them, but with the hopper, you can just hop on the monorail and do EPCOT that day, and then maybe try the MK later on. In all the days that I have been at WDW, there hasn't been one that I haven't hopped.

Yes,the miniscule savings you get from the bounceback is offset by having to stay in the park you first go in.

You save $5 on the 2nd day and $10 on the 3rd day.

I would just get the Park Hopper. Like Mickey said, you never know what will happen! Maybe one park is closing later than another but you aren't ready to go back to the room yet! You can hop on over to the other park! Oh, and don't forget about those cheerleaders or Brazillian Soccer Tour Groups...BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!!! With the Hopper, you have the ability to leave and go to a different park. Play it safe...GET THE HOPPER! :)

Kphil,

The other thing is that park hoppers don't expire so if you don't use all the days (for whatever reason) you'll have good tickets for your next trip.

You can also save a little money on Disney tickets by prepurchasing from the disney website or AAA.

Disney pre-purchase tickets for a 4 day hopper are

192.00 plus tax instead of 208 plus tax (adult)
152.00 plus tax ----------- of 167 plus tax for a child

AAA

199.50 (adult)
158.00 (child)

The Bounce Back passes really worked well for us last Aug. We were going to all 4 parks but my son and his girlfriend wanted to go to IoA instead of AK. So we bought 3 days of BB for them and it saved us enough money to at least pay for their meals a day! You just have to go with what works best under your circumstances. I have never liked park hopping as it sometimes takes half the day to go from one park to another.
