Buying Walt Disney World Tickets

Magic Your Way Tickets

Disney typically raise their ticket prices each year in August (twice in 2006) and 2011 was no exception. In 2007 and 2008 they added $4 to the price of a one day ticket and in 2009 added $5. In 2010 they added another $3 and a further $3 in 2011. Multi-day tickets have increased by as much as $29 and prices for the Park Hopper, No Expiration and Water Park Fun & More options have also increased. However, you can save money by making an advanced purchase on 4 day or more tickets with the Park Hopper® option and/or Water Park Fun & More option.

From 2005, Walt Disney World introduced a new ticket package called "Magic Your Way" which gives you more flexibility in tailoring your theme park tickets to your own specific needs but can be quite confusing at first glance. It is well worth deciding exactly what you want to do on your visit before you buy your tickets; or you could easily end up buying tickets that you will not get full use of.

In essence, the Magic Your Way package works like this:

Multi-day passes

The price per day goes down considerably, the more days you buy but do bear in mind that unless you buy the "No Expiration" option, then any extra days you do not use will be wasted.

If you want to use any remaining unused days on another holiday then you must add on the "No Expiration" option.

Transferring tickets

Tickets are non transferrable and Disney have installed hand scanners to ensure that only the person who originally bought the ticket can use it.

These prices are subject to change and you should check with Walt Disney World for the latest prices.

If you are a UK visitor, then there are also some special UK visitor tickets options.

Remember, if you want to hop between parks on any one day, then you need to add on the "Park Hopper®" option.

If you buy your tickets abroad, it is quite likely you will be offered different packages and options compared to buying them in the USA, such as 14 day or 21 day all inclusive tickets (see UK visitor tickets for more details).

You can also buy Walt Disney World tickets through Viator who offer a lowest price guarantee.

Disney also offer single day tickets to the main parks and other attractions, annual passes and special Florida Residents tickets.
