Strategies to stretch your ticket buying dollar
Large discounts are hard to find (discounts on
Orlando's other theme parks are easier come by).
Still, if you plan ahead, you can save a few bucks.
Group Discounts
If you are in any of several select groups, you may
be eligible for other programs offering even better
deals:
US Military. Active duty, retired military, and DOD
employees are often eligible for discounts
(sometimes even free tickets, with deep discounts
for family members, during Disney Armed Forces
Salutes.) Before you go, check with your local
base MWR.
AAA Members. Discounts are often available to
members of AAA on multi-day passes, but you
have to buy them at a participating AAA office.
Discounts may vary by region; check with AAA for
prices and eligibility.
Convention Attendee. If you are attending a
convention in Orlando, you may be eligible for
discounts or unusual pass combination options
through that convention. Check with your
convention's promoter, travel agency or at the
tourist information desk in the convention center.
Canadians. Canadians have sometimes been
offered at par or discount deals in Canadian
dollars through Canadian Disney Stores -- worth a
visit before you leave Canada.
Florida Residents. Disney offers Florida resident
discounts on annual passes and sometimes offers
special deals such as discounted "Play 4 Days"
passes in the off seasons. Check the Florida
Residents area of the Walt Disney World website
for programs and details. (Proof of Florida
residency required).
Employees of Corporations Sponsoring Disney
Attractions. If you work for Coke, GM, fed ex, or
another company that sponsors a Disney
attraction, or a company that contracts
with Disney, ask your Human Resources
Department before you go about any current
programs.
Disney Employees. Of course, if you work at Walt
Disney World you know about their programs
already!
Scams?
You may also see advertising for ticket sellers
offering deep discount, or even free tickets. Such
deals always involve hours listening to a timeshare
presentation and a hard sell before you can get
them. Remember if a deal looks too good to be
true, be sure to find out up front what the catch is
so you know what you're getting into.
Latest Disney Tickets and Prices
Disney World's ticket plan called "Magic our Way"
allows guests to create their own ticket. Guests to
Walt Disney World Resort can purchase "Magic
Your Way" tickets to the various theme parks,
attractions and other entertainment offerings that
are tailored to the length of their vacation and the
interests of their group — and save more per day
based on their length of stay.
Creating a custom ticket is easy, just choose the
number of days wanted on a base ticket (that
allows a visit to one theme park each day) and
then select from a menu of ticket options that
includes: Park Hopper Option, Magic Plus Pack
Option, No Expiration Option, "Magic Your Way"
Premium Pass or Advance Purchase Savings.
Ticket Glossary
One-Day - Valid for admission to one park only –
Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood
Studios, or Disney's Animal Kingdom. The one-day
ticket does not allow park-hopping or use of the
Disney transportation system.
Base Ticket - Admits guest to one theme park per
day's use. Park choices are: Magic Kingdom,
Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's
Animal Kingdom.
Park Hopper - This option added to your ticket can
be used at all theme parks – Magic Kingdom,
Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, or Disney's
Animal Kingdom – on the same day. It is available
for either two, three, four, five, six or seven days.
Magic Plus Pack - This option entitles guest to a
specified number of visits (between 2 and 5) to a
choice of entertainment and recreation venues.
Choices are Disney's Blizzard Beach water park,
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park,
DisneyQuest, Disney's Wide World of Sports
Complex.
Premium Ticket - This option combines the
benefits of Park Hopper and Magic Plus Pack
options. Advance Purchase Premium Ticket
reflects savings available if ticket option is
purchased prior to arrival at Walt Disney World
Resort.
No Expiration - Add this one-time fee so that
unused admissions on a ticket have no expiration
date. All tickets expire 14 days after first use,
unless the No Expiration option is purchased.
Annual Pass - The holder of this pass enjoys the
following benefits:
Premium Annual Pass - This pass offers the same
benefits as the Annual Pass above, plus these
added benefits:
A photo ID must be presented for purchase of
either annual pass and may be required for future
use of the pass. The pass expires one year after it
is purchased and the expired pass must be
presented to receive renewal discount. Florida
residents receive special price.
Large discounts are hard to find (discounts on
Orlando's other theme parks are easier come by).
Still, if you plan ahead, you can save a few bucks.
- Buy only what you yourself will use. Unlike
earlier tickets, they are now linked to you
finger prints so you can not pass them around
or sell them. You will be the only one able to
use it!
- Buy before you go. Advance purchase
discounts are sometimes available online from
Disney or at Disney Stores.
- Check Disney's prices first, before you buy
tickets from a reseller so you can be sure
you're actually getting a bargain and they're
not quoting your "savings" by comparing a
multi-day pass price to the price of several
individual single day tickets (the most
expensive way to buy).
- Plan your vacation days before you buy, so
you don't buy a pass with more (or fewer)
days admission than you'll actually use.
- Don't buy more ticket than you need. If you're
not going to visit one of Disney's water parks
and only want tickets to the theme parks, don't
let them sell you the more expensive Park
Hopper Plus or Ultimate Park Hopper passes
when a regular pass will do just fine.
- If you'll be making several visits that year, or
an extended visit of longer than a week's park
hopping, consider buying an annual pass
instead of a park hopper. (Annual Pass holders
are eligible for some special perks and
discounts beyond park admission -- for
current programs check the Walt Disney World
website or ask at Guest Services.)
