Walt Disney World

Ticket Information

Buying tickets for Walt Disney World can be surprisingly complex, and most vacation planners buy their tickets at the same time they book hotel reservations.

Park tickets are available in many different combinations, from One-Day, One-Park tickets all the way up to 10-Day Park Hopper Plus tickets. A one-day ticket for the Magic Kingdom can run as high as $129 plus tax, and tickets for a 10-day vacation can run as much as $565 per person. Regardless of which you choose, all tickets expire within 14 days of first use.

As the name implies, the Park Hopper option allows you to visit multiple parks in the same day. This can add anywhere from $55-75 to the base price of your ticket, so you can save a bit of cash if you're willing to stick to one park per day.

The Park Hopper Plus option also allows you to visit multiple parks per day, and includes admission to the two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach), the miniature golf courses (Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland), the Wide World of Sports Complex, and the 9-hole Oak Trail golf course. The number of admissions depends on the length of the base ticket.This option adds $80- $100 to each ticket.

Where to Buy

Tickets and annual passports are available from a variety of sources, and we strongly recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance of your visit. You'll definitely need to purchase tickets and link them to your My Disney Experience account before you can begin to make FastPass+ selections in advance of your trip.

Advance-purchase tickets are available from the Walt Disney World website, and also from MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.

If you wait until you arrive, ticket booths are located at the main entrances of each Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The main ticket booths for Magic Kingdom are located at the Transportation & Ticket Center, though tickets can also be purchased at the Guest Relations window to the right of the main entrance gates of the park.

You can also purchase park tickets at any of the resort hotels on property, and certain ticket types can be purchased at Disney Stores and local grocery store chains.

Be cautious of "Ticket Discount Centers," which are usually fronts for timeshare organizations. You might get a small discount, but not before you ward off a hard sell pitch.
