Hi there, Kris!
Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for sending your question. It looks like your enchanting escape begins today, so let's get started!
AAA members can purchase specially priced
Walt Disney World theme park and water park tickets and select seasonal event tickets on the AAA website or in a AAA store. A fellow AAA member, I checked the website this morning, and you can save a few dollars by purchasing your tickets here rather than directly from the
Walt Disney World website. Since your trip has already begun, I recommend securing tickets as quickly as possible through AAA or Walt Disney World.
If you choose AAA, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and e-tickets. You'll need to
link your e-tickets to your My Disney Experience account to use them to enter the theme parks. Once linked, you can redeem theme park admission by tapping a
MagicBand, scanning a plastic ticket card (get this from a theme park ticketing window or the front desk of a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel), or
using a mobile device. Stop by a theme park ticketing window or Guest Relations if you need help setting things up, and a friendly Cast Member will assist you.
I hope this is helpful, Kris, and that your vacation is off to a great start. Since you're visiting during Olaf's favorite season, prepare for high temperatures and afternoon rainstorms. Check out
this recent Disney Parks Blog article full of advice from my fellow panelists on staying cool during summer at Walt Disney World. My family and I arrive in a few weeks, and we plan to take daily afternoon breaks either at our resort pool or an air-conditioned table service restaurant. Despite the heat, we love visiting during summer. You can feel the joy in the air as families enjoy school vacations together. You're going to have the best time! Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, and have a magical day!
