I just saw they will be offering a 3 Day, 3 Park ticket that excludes MK. Am I able to buy this ticket, then buy a separate, regular 1 day ticket for MK? I’ve never tried to buy two different tickets for the same trip. Also, would this affect picking LL’s 7 days out?
Yes, but I’d price out whether taking advantage of this deal and buying a separate 1-day ticket for MK really saves you anything. Single-day tickets to MK tend to hover in the $180+ for a single day range. (Obviously, date matters for a more precise number.) So, the savings on the 3-park ticket, whatever it is, might be negated by the expensive single-day ticket.
I’d look at 4-day, 4-park tickets instead and see how the price matters.

Did this ticket come back too?
Well, I was just referring to buying a regular 4-park ticket (one park per day ticket, not with park-hopper), as opposed to the “special” that they offered in the past. (Although…if that returns, it would be a great option.)
In any case, I haven’t seen details on the 3-park/3-day ticket.

Oh ok. I really wanted to buy this ticket last year but it was not available in October.
Using September 10 as an example, a 4-day regular base ticket would be $446 before tax. The 3-day, 3 parks ticket plus a 1 day MK ticket would be $413 before tax. (I did before tax because the ad for the 3 day, 3 park ticket was before tax.) So you could save a few dollars doing it this way!
So, that leaves the second part of the question. To which I don’t know the answer for sure, but I believe the 7 day lead time, if staying on-site, would apply to each ticket separately. So, 7 days ahead of your MK date you could book your LLs, and 7 days ahead of your 3-park ticket the same. But…I’m not 100% sure on that, so maybe someone else knows better for sure.
I thought it was 7 days ahead of your check in date? I have only done this once but I had a 6-day ticket and I checked in on Friday but my first park day was not till Saturday and I could still do it 7 days before check-in.

I’m going to just stop talking now. 
Okay so I did the math for our upcoming trip in June. For my family of 4 adults, the regular 4 day ticket would be $2374. With the 3 day ticket + a single MK ticket, it comes to $1764 (this is all pre-tax). Definitely worth it if it works logistically.
That’s a huge savings! Is the 3-day for sale yet? FYI I think the price in the ads is “starting at” so it may be more expensive on your exact dates.

Oh true, it might be more than $89 a day for the 3-park ticket deal in June. The disneyparksblog article says “for booking March 27th” which is tomorrow, so I’ll have to price it out tomorrow.
Ya that is why I used September to compare because I figured that was the low season. But I’m hopeful you can save a bundle!
Just priced this out for week of July 4th, family of 5 (three “adults”, 2 kids), 4 days of parks.
Regular 4-day, 4-park: $3,287.96
4 day, 4-park with half-off kids: $2,637.96
Combined half-off kids 4-day, 3-day for adults with extra day at MK: $2,370.87
Just a question of whether it works in terms of letting you into the parks on the right day. I assume it would but who knows; might require a trip to guest services.

Looks good! To hopefully lessen the confusion (and it’s just how our days lined up), I’m planning on buying the separate MK ticket for after our 3-day ticket is used up. Not sure if that’ll have any impact, but we will hope for the best!
Did not pay close attention to this detail. How annoying.

I priced this for a guest yesterday and it was $119 for her date IIRC
If I book a day early for my trip it.is $89, and day later it is $119! Ever since I saw that I have been on board with your point that sometimes not having to think too much wins.
