Walt Disney World Theme Park Tickets
Tickets can be customized to fit your needs. You select the number of ticket days and any options such as Park Hopper and/or Disney Water Parks.
Disney’s website does not give you all the available options, so using a travel agent to book your package is recommended.
We have more tools available to find you the perfect Disney World ticket.
With Disney World tickets, The longer you play, the less you pay per day. For example, a 6-day ticket costs less per day than a 4-day ticket.
Children ages 3-9 pay a reduced rate on tickets.
Ticket prices vary by day - yes every calendar day of the year has a different price. As with the hotel rates, ticket prices cost more during holidays and spring break.
Park Hopper option is a one-time cost that is valid for all your ticket days. This allows you to visit multiple theme parks on the same day, starting at 2 pm, subject to availability.
If you plan on visiting the Disney water parks you can add water park admission to your package as well.
When you add the water parks option to your package, you can visit the water parks more than once.
This is usually more cost-effective than purchasing a single-day water park ticket.
