    unfortunately, my family has to have park hoppers b/c the only park we can manage to spend an entire day in is Magic Kingdom, lol. you're right about trip insurance-i remember the CM mentioning it was added. my DH loves to eat at the restaurants, so i'd like to keep regular dining if i can, but i'll mention the CS plan to him, it might actually be more convenient. i'm selling this vacation pretty hard, LOL.

    Question: Okay, so I have 7 tickets - I probably won't be able to use 2 of them because those will be travelling days. Can I use those extra tickets to go in another park if I've already been in one park that day?

    And don't forget you have until 45 days prior to your arrival date to pay it in full. Maybe there's a tax refund in your future?? Hmmm???

    Also, you do have to book before Christmas...anyway you could "sell" it as one of the gifts?? Then you won't spend as much on Christmas as originally planned?

    Just throwing things out there!!

    Oh & another thing...you COULD book it w/the CS plan, but we love to sit down & it just wouldn't make us happy to eat at CS everyday...but you COULD book it w/CS, save $210 ($10/day *3 people *7 nights) and then switch it to DDP later if you wanted.

    Again...just a thought...

    Sadly, no...from disboards:
    A base ticket is one major (theme) park per day. You are allowed to re-enter the same park if you leave it on one day, but it can only be used at the one park.

    If you put the ticket in the turnstile of another park the display on the Guest side of the turnstile will be "ACCESS DENIED". The top line of the display on the Greeter side will give information about the ticket, and the second line of the display will say "CROSSOVER NOT PERMITTED". The turnstile will not unlock.

    This is because Disney charges $2.00 per day over five days on an adult ticket, but charges $45 to allow hopping. It does not make economic sense for Disney to allow this.

    I can usually manage to stay in one park per day, and even 2 days in EPCOT. At Christmastime, I can stay all day even in DHS cuz I love to see the Osborne Lights. Don't know if anything special is going on in March when I made my ressie. Never been in March so I don't know how crowded it will be. I guess it will be now because of the special.

    I am feeling just a bit of guilt, as this definitely wasn't in the financial plan but hopefully I'll get over it. I gotta get lots of surveys between now and then. I do have lots of Disney Visa points but will be using them for Dec. trip. Maybe I won't spend them all. HA! Fat chance of that happening.

    I don't think you can do that unless you add Hoppers and then the 2 days still go to waste. Plan your arrival so you can at least hit a park the first day and your departure as late as possible on the last day and go just do a short day in the parks. Or if it will let you add non-expiring option that would give you two days for your next trip.

    Okay, fine. Be that way. Guess I'll just have to drive a little faster.

    Oooh another thing to think about is could you change your hotel at all? Not sure where you're staying now, but maybe that would help sell it??

    My ressie is at Pop. I asked about POFQ which was $175 more. So, if you're staying at a mod or deluxe, changing to a value will save some more. I really thought about POFQ for $175 more, as I've always wanted to stay there, but opted to try to soothe my guilty conscience with a value.
