Hi Lee!
Welcome to planDisney! As my friend Princess Tiana would say, you're
Almost There. . .almost to your upcoming visit to
Magic Kingdom Park! What's the first thing you want to do when you arrive? I like to start the day by soaking up the energy and atmosphere of Main Street, U.S.A.! There is nothing quite like that first glimpse of Cinderella Castle - even if I've seen it dozens of times! Keep an eye out for the Dapper Dans strolling the streets here too - they are some of my favorite performers in all of Walt Disney World Resort!
Lee, Guests visiting from the UK have access to
7-day and 14-day tickets before your arrival. These are a great deal and include
park hopping,
water park access, and even
Memory Maker! However, there may be times that you're planning a shorter visit to Walt Disney World Resort and just need a 1-day ticket. Although you won't be able to purchase your 1-day ticket before your arrival, I'm happy to share that you have several options to make that purchase once you arrive in the United States.
After your arrival, you can access the
U.S. version of the Walt Disney World Resort website which will offer different ticket options, including single-day tickets. Additionally, you can download and use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App once in the U.S. to purchase tickets as well. If you prefer to buy in person, you can either visit the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs or purchase your theme park tickets when you arrive at Magic Kingdom Park. I would suggest visiting Disney Springs before you visit Magic Kingdom, if time allows, so you can start your day as soon as you arrive!
If you do find yourself in Disney Springs, I recommend stopping by
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' for a meal. The Thigh High Chicken Biscuits and Bee Haven Fried Green Tomatoes are delicious and I like to make a meal out of those two appetizers! You'll also want to stick around for the nightly performance of
Disney Dreams That Soar. This drone show is a beautiful way to end the evening!
Lee, I hope this information is helpful as you get ready for your upcoming visit! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to visit us again here at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
