Silly question about tickets

[Young@Heart]

We've either gone w/ park hoppers or just done regular tickets w/ one park each day. This year, we're going to have 7 day tickets, w/ 6 full days, but we want to spend at least one day relaxing at the resort. Could we, say, go to MK in the AM, Epcot the same night, and count that as 2 admissions?

Once your ticket is logged into the computer for the day in one park, you will be locked out of all the other parks unless you have the park hopper option.

Wow, even if we used a second admission? That kind of makes having those extra days pointless, especially since flight times are so unpredictable and constantly changing. :(

We're probably going to add no expiration on to the tickets when we arrive, but if we decide not to, we want to use them to their fullest, of course.

The reason is extra days cost almost next to nothing compared to the park hopper option. No one would bother purchasing the park hopper option. They would just add extra days. It is Disney's way of getting more money from us if we want to visit more than one park a day.

The only options I know to allow you to visit more than one park a day would be to purchase park hopping or to buy another single day ticket. But another single day ticket would cost more than adding the park hopper option.

That makes sense. Since they're essentially "free" (w/ the 4/3 deal) I guess it doesn't matter if we don't use them. ;)
