Howdy, Natasha! Welcome to planDisney.
If you've often dreamed of a far-off place where a hero's welcome will be waiting for you, Walt Disney World Resort is the place for you. If you "go the distance" and cross that ocean, Mickey and his pals will be waiting and ready to give you a hug.
As a former UK-based Guest, I can tell you that folks traveling from your side of the pond cannot purchase 1-Day tickets through the
official Walt Disney Travel Company website. As you mentioned in your question, you can purchase either a
7-Day Magic Ticket or a 14-Day Magic Ticket. Both of these options give you unlimited access to all
four theme parks and the
two water parks, plus the
Park Hopper Option,
Memory Maker, and more! I'm originally from Liverpool and back in the day, I was a huge fan of the 14-Day Magic Ticket. It's a fantastic deal (and I miss taking advantage of it now I live in the U.S.A.).
If you can only visit for one day, then you'll need to purchase your ticket when you arrive in the States. You'll then be able to access
Disneyworld.Disney.go.com to purchase from any of the ticket options currently available there. Alternatively, you can even purchase your ticket once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. Tickets can be purchased from the ticket booths at the theme park entrances or even the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. However, since there are currently capacity limits at the theme parks, I'd recommend checking out the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar before you purchase any tickets.
Natasha, did you see the exciting news?
Two of Disney's most beloved nighttime spectaculars are returning this Spring. Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT Forever at (you guessed it!) EPCOT. Hopefully, you'll get the chance to see at least one of these shows.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Natasha!
Mike
