Ticket Information
Park tickets are available from several sources and in many different combinations, from tickets good for just one of the parks for a single day up to tickets good for ten days of admission at either park.
Tickets come in variations on the Base Magic Your Way (MYW) tickets, and all expire within 14 days of first use. The no-expiration option was discontinued in February 2015. Base MYW tickets provide admission to one park each day for the number of days purchased.
The Park Hopper Option is available for a $55-69 charge, depending on the length of the ticket, and allows the ticket to provide admission to all four major theme parks for each day of the ticket.
The Water Park Fun & More Option, also available for a $64 charge, depending on the length of the ticket, allows additional admissions 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 with the number of admissions depending on the length of the base ticket.
Platinum Annual Passes allow 365 days of admission from first use to the four major theme parks, and the Platinum Plus Annual Pass is the equivalent of adding the Water Park Fun & More Option to the Platinum Annual Pass. Annual passes also include theme park parking and access to Disney PhotoPass photo downloads. A Water Parks-only Annual Pass is also available.
Buying tickets for Walt Disney World is surprisingly complex (though showing up and getting a one-day ticket for just one-park will run as high as $114 plus tax for admission to the Magic Kingdom). The following lists help lay out the different pricing options.

Tickets purchased prior to February 28 will be accepted on any day (Value, Regular or Peak) through the expiration date of that ticket. However, this new pricing structure comes with a new expiration policy for one-day tickets. One-day Walt Disney World tickets purchased on or after February 28, 2016 will now expire at the end of the following calendar year. (A ticket purchased on March 1, 2016 will expire on December 31, 2017; a ticket purchased in 2017 will expire December 31, 2018). The purchase price of an unused, expired ticket can be applied towards the purchase of a new ticket at the then-current price, but unused, expired tickets can not be returned.

Premier Pass: This pass is equivalent to a Signature Plus Pass at Disneyland and a Platinum Plus Pass at Walt Disney World combined.
Gold Pass: Only Florida residents and DVC members are eligible to purchase this pass. The Gold Pass has blockout dates around the Christmas and New Year's holidays as well as Spring Break periods.

Florida Epcot After 4: Exclusively for Florida residents, this pass offers admission to Epcot after 4 p.m. only. Parking is included.
On-Site Ticket Purchase: Ticket booths can be found at the main gates of 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.
-
Online Ticket Purchase: Tickets can be purchased online directly from Disney. Advance purchase discounts are available for tickets good for four days or longer.
-
Other Purchase Locations: Just get to Florida and everybody will be trying to sell you tickets to Walt Disney World, though most of the "Ticket Discount Centers" are fronts for timeshare organizations and purchases will come with hard sells. Many hotels in the area of Walt Disney World also sell park tickets. You can also make your ticket purchases at any Disney Store (including annual passes).
Parking, Directions, and Transportation
Walt Disney World is located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, just outside of Kissimmee and about 20 miles southwest of Orlando and Orlando International Airport.
From the airport you'll want to follow the directions to 417 and take that west until you have passed Interstate 4. Once in that area, you'll need to watch for the exit appropriate for your specific destination.
Parking at Walt Disney World is different depending on what you are doing. Parking at Disney Springs is free. Parking at any of the on-property resorts is free for guests and anybody with appropriate business at the hotel (eating at one of the restaurants, for example). Parking is also free at the two water parks, the Wide World of Sports complex and the golf courses.
Each of the four theme parks has its own parking, which is free for guests of the on-property resorts and annual passholders but otherwise costs $20 for regular cars, $22 for RVs, and $25 for buses and tractor trailers. Except for Magic Kingdom, the theme park parking is right in front of the gates. For Magic Kingdom you'll need to park at the Ticket & Transportation Center and take the monorail or ferry to the park.
Once on property, there is a resort-wide system of free buses. For the most part it is possible to get to every park from every hotel. If nothing else, every location with a bus stop connects to the hub at Downtown Disney from where you can connect to any other location. There is also a ferry that connects Epcot to the hotels in the Epcot area.
For additional information on getting around the parks with wheelchairs and ECVs see our Walt Disney World Mobility page.
