Hi Michelle!
Welcome to planDisney!
I’m happy to report that…yes! You’ll be more than welcome to start your park days on the 30th, even if the start date of your ticket is the 28th. You’ll just want to make sure you get all of your park days in before the end date of the ticket to get the most out of it.
Remember, your
Magic Ticket also includes some fun extras, such as being able to visit the water parks, go mini golfing, and more. So, even if you don’t head to the theme parks right away, you can always think about doing one of those to ease into your vacation while getting over the jet lag.
As part of this year’s
Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event (which runs until the 8th September), both
water parks will be open, so you’ll get to choose between Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon (pending park capacity) during the first part of your trip!
In addition to that, there are so many things happening around the theme parks and resorts this summer, including some fun character meet-and-greets. Plus, lots of new attractions have recently opened (or re-opened after refurbishment). Let’s break it down by park:
Magic Kingdom -
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and
Big Thunder MountainHollywood Studios -
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets,
Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!, and
Smugglers RunEpcot -
Soarin’ Across AmericaAnimal Kingdom -
Bluey’s Wild WorldI hope you have the best trip ever! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan, feel free to come back and visit us. We’re always happy to help!
