Disney World Tickets

A vacation to Disney World Orlando is many families dream vacation. Along with airfares and hotel costs, your entry tickets to the Disney parks are going to be one of your biggest vacation costs. Sure, you can shop around for cheaper tickets, but this isn't going to save you big bucks (although any saving is a saving right?). You'll save the most by buying the right tickets for your vacation.

Plan what you plan to do when you get to Orlando

One of the easiest ways to save money on those ticket purchases is to not buy too many. Quite often we. Use sites such a allears.net and Orlando Florida and to decide which of the Disney World attractions you want to visit.

Be Realistic. How much time do you have in Orlando?

We all want to do everything Then, be realistic. If you're going to Orlando for four days, its unrealistic to fit in a visit to all the parks, Disney Quest and the water parks. If you don't think you'll have time to go to the waterparks, then don't buy a ticket that includes entry to Typhoon Lagoon.

What are the Disney World Ticket options?

Disney have a number of Disney ticket options. Sites such as Disney World Tickets describe the different options in detail, but in a nutshell here's a description of the tickets.

Magic Your Way Base Ticket

You start off with the Magic Your Way Ticket. You may have heard this being called the “base ticket”. This ticket gives you one days entry into the main Disney World Parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom).

You can buy up to ten days entry on your Magic Your Way ticket and cannot visit more than one park on any given day. To do this, you need to add the Hopper option to your ticket.

Also note, this ticket expires fourteen days after its first use, so if you buy a five day ticket and only use four days at the theme parks, you’ll lose the extra day.

Disney Hopper Ticket

Simply put, if you want to visit more than one park in a day you need to add the Hopper option to your ticket. Visitors do this for added flexibility, for example you can visit the Magic Kingdom during the day, followed by viewing the fireworks at Epcot in the evening.

Waterpark Fun and More Options

Disney has other attractions such as the Typhoon Lagoon water park, and Disney Quest. If you plan on visiting these attractions the Waterpark Fun and More addition to your ticket is a cheap way of doing this.

Non-expiry option

The standard base ticket expires after fourteen days from the first day of use. You can pay extra and add the Non-expiry option to your ticket. This means any unused days on your ticket will never expire.
