Knowing the Disney Ticket Options and Choosing the Right One

Walt Disney World is larger than many first-time visitors realize. It has four theme parks and two water parks, all of which require separate tickets for admission.

Disney offers various types of tickets, and knowing the different options will help you choose the right one for your vacation. When you have decided on what type of ticket to Walt Disney World is best for you and your family, remember we always have the best deals.

Heres is a quick summary of the Disney World Ticket Types:

One park tickets: One park tickets get you into the Disney theme park of your choice. You can buy single or multi-day tickets, and if you go for the multi-day option, you choose one park per day. You can enter and exit that park as often as you wish during that day, but you can't go into one of the other three parks without using up another admission.

One park tickets work well for families with younger kids who like to take a midday break. Start your morning at the theme park of your choice, whether it's the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, or Disney's Animal Kingdom. Stay until the kids need a nap or a break at your hotel pool. Once they're rested up, head back to the park for Round Two. You can hit attractions that you missed in the morning or even repeat some favorites that the kids might clamor to do again.

** If you are visiting during peak travel times mainly, Christmas and Easter, we strongly recommend getting the base ticket. Every year, many guests leave one park with the expectations to hop to another park only to find out the other park is full to capacity. When this happens there is nothing to do but wait until enough people leave for them to open it back up again.** 

Disney FastPass has been replaced in 2021 with Genie Plus. The Genie Plus system is not free like the FastPass, but most guests to Disney World prefer the new system.

Choosing the right Disney Ticket can save you hundreds on your next Orlando vacation.

Park Hopper tickets: As the name implies, Park Hopper tickets let you move freely between the four Walt Disney World theme parks as much as you wish every day. Technically you can visit all four parks in a single day, but two is a more realistic number. For example, you can start your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studio. Then, pop over to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot in the evening to see the Wishes fireworks or the Illuminations show on the lagoon in World Showcase.

Park Hopper tickets are great if you have limited time on your vacation because they let you see multiple parks, even if you're only staying in Orlando for two or three days. Granted, you won't get to see everything at each park, but at least you'll get a flavor of what they offer.

You can move directly between the theme parks or go to one, take a break, then visit a different one later. For example, park hopping gives you the flexibility to book the princess breakfast at Epcot in the morning, then head over to Disney's Animal Kingdom or the Magic Kingdom to catch the afternoon parade.

Water Park Fun and More tickets: If you want to hit Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, Water Park Fun and More tickets might be perfect for your family. They give you a certain number of visits to the water parks or other fun spots at the Walt Disney World resort, like the miniature golf courses and ESPN Zone, the number of extra visits you get depends on your ticket length. This option is available with both one-park and Park Hopper tickets.
