Hello there, Lacey, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for bringing your question to us here. You've come to the right place! Your vacation is just around the river bend, so let's get right into an answer.
Because you live in Great Britain, you will only be able to buy theme park tickets for a shorter length of time once you arrive in the United States. As you may know, Walt Disney World Resort has a theme park reservation system, so as soon as you arrive in the United States, purchase your tickets online or call
Guest Services. You can purchase them at the theme park as well, but you don't want to risk that that day and/or theme park has reached its maximum reservation limit.
AN EXTRA GEM: If the theme park that you want to visit has no more reservation availability once you arrive, I highly recommend having a backup theme park in mind. Or consider purchasing a ticket with a
Park Hopper option, which gives you the option to visit multiple theme parks in one day (including the initially desired one that may have had no more reservations).
By the way, you'll arrive just in time for the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, Lacey. If this is your preferred theme park to visit, you will not be disappointed. It is hands down my favorite festival of the year, and the food and entertainment always make for a great time. I hope that you all have the BEST holiday!
Let me know if you have any additional questions as you put the finishing touches on your plans.
Magic always,
LeAndra
