So 1 question, does this mean a break mid-day to go back to the hotel would then mean you can't go back to the same park after the swim/nap?
You should be able to leave and re-enter the park on the same day. Each “entrance” you use will basically activate for the day. Presumably you could have 2 or more “active” entrances and go back and forth between parks all day if you’d like.

This would require clarification from Disney but I would think you could leave and then re-enter the same park on the same day.

The main difference though is a regular 4-day 1 park per day allows multiple visits to the same park.

Someone could get a 4-day 1-park per day and go to MK twice (MK one day and MK another day). Under this ticket deal you cannot do that. It is literally 1 visit per park.
This is correct. With this ticket you can only go to the MK one day. You cannot go to the MK a second day.
 
Are we sure about that? Regular single day/single park admissions allow you to leave and come back to same park so I would have thought these operate the same
That isn't what I meant though. I can't remember how it worked in the past (I know there are threads from previous times) regarding re-entry to the park you left that same day.

The PP said "DOesn't a normal 4-day non-hopper ticket cost about the same?"

I haven't gone over the price comparison honestly but with a 4-day 1 park per day you can visit MK twice like I said MK one day and MK another day.

With this ticket deal you only get to visit MK one day. You cannot go back to MK another day. That may save you some money (again haven't looked at the pricing comparison) but it comes with a big restriction. Like I said in my first comment there were people who bought this ticket deal in the past and didn't realize they couldn't go back to another park.

So even if the prices were comparable you would have 4-park 1 park per day actually be more flexible than this ticket deal. As always people should be looking at what works best for them.

I see this ticket deal being good for people who want to explore the water parks without the additional add on for it. I don't see this for someone who wants to visit the same park again after having visiting it a different day.

oh ok, sorry, misunderstood what you ask - I had just read a question from someone else who asked about returning the same day so thought you were referencing the same

yes, you are definitely correct that this is to spread people out and "make" them go to each park once vs a standard 4-day pass that you can use at the same park all 4 days if you want

No worries! That def. could have been me making it more confusing :o

Right . .but for your "average" Disney visitor that is probably coming for a 3-4 day vacation that is probably good enough. My friends used a similar ticket in Spring of 2017(1 park per day, no repeats, no water parks). They just hit one park each day (that was their plan anyway) during a week long off-site vacation (with trip to Legoland). They were actually only go to go 3 days, but this special 4-day ticket was cheaper than a normal (non-hopper) 3-day ticket at the time.

If they sold these tickets (at these prices) all year long, they would probably be VERY popular due to their cost .. and would have the benefit of spreading crowds out

Well I wasn't commenting on not advocating for someone to purchase the ticket-it's whatever works for them. But I've seen the comments from people who purchased it without realizing the restrictions. 1-park per day ticket is different than this ticket deal. If they sold this ticket year round I feel like Guest Services would be exhausted fielding all the "but but but" comments from people who didn't realize what they bought more than they already do lol.

Of course it will work for people--it's that you need to be aware of the difference. If you only care about going to MK (or any of the other parks) once great if you think you may want to come back to MK a different day (or any of the other parks) don't buy it. If you want the opportunity to visit the water parks and you understand you cannot revisit a theme park you just visited on a different day great it works for you (general you).

Good points - Like most things Disney -- it is an odd set of restrictions that most people may not realize without reading (and understanding) the fine print.
 

Darn! We're there 8/10-8/19, and we were waiting to decide whether to do the Extra Morning Magic at DHS to see if they added more After Hours dates instead. For the price difference (going to be adding Annual Passes), we figured we'd rather do the After Hours. Of course they add dates but not for August for DHS. Bummer! I'm guessing since the other parks are out that far, they're simply just not going to have any August dates for DHS. I guess they need the time to prepare for SWGE?

I wouldn't expect after hours dates at DHS.
 
It's also kind of weird that the added dates at MK mean they have it every week through September, except 8/15, the week we're there. Figures (not sure if we would've taken that one though).

Well I certainly did not expect it once SWGE opens, and honestly wasn't sure if they'd have it at the others after that, given the EEMH in the morning as well. It's just a little disappointing that they did add to the other parks through August but stop DHS at July. I guess they are planning a lot of nighttime work throughout the park that month.
