Ticket Information
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 $124 plus tax for admission to the Magic Kingdom).
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. You can opt to purchase tickets that are good for just one park per day, or buy park-hopper tickets which allow you to visit multiple parks each day of your trip. Regardless of which you choose, all tickets expire within 14 days of first use.
The Park Hopper Plus Option is a $15 upgrade to any multi-day park-hopper ticket. This option 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.
The following lists help lay out the different pricing options, and the % increase from the last price change in 2016.

-

-
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.
