Hey there, D! Welcome to planDisney!
In the words of Peter Pan, "Think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings!" And off we'll fly to a land of magic as we map out the perfect Walt Disney World adventure!
I love that you want to visit all
four theme parks. Each one has its own personality, and while most Guests end up choosing a favorite, it is sometimes impossible to pick when there is such a treasure trove of experiences waiting around every corner? (Spoiler alert: my favorite is
Disney's Animal Kingdom. I'm the person who wants to bring home every animal I meet, which makes it no surprise that I love a park filled with incredible wildlife!)
Since you're planning to visit in August, I have a recommendation that can help you make the most of your trip while keeping a little pixie dust in your budget. Disney is currently offering the
4-Park Magic Ticket, which includes one admission to each of the four theme parks. Even better, you'll have seven days from your selected start date to use all four admissions. That gives you plenty of flexibility if you'd like to enjoy a rest day, explore
Disney Springs, or spend a day splashing around at one of Disney's water parks. No need to rush through your adventure like you're trying to catch Peter Pan's shadow!
Now, let's talk water parks! To include water park admission with your theme park ticket package, you would need to purchase either a Park Hopper Plus ticket or a ticket with the Water Park and Sports Option. That said, my recommendation would be to purchase a single-day water park ticket separately from your theme park tickets. Based on what you're looking for, that's typically the most budget-friendly option while still checking every box on your wish list.
However, D, here's a little extra pixie dust! If you're staying at an eligible
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll receive complimentary water park admission on your check-in day. If that works with your travel plans, it can be a fantastic way to kick off your vacation. Simply arrive at your resort, leave your bags with Bell Services while your room is being prepared, and head straight to the water park for an afternoon of fun in the sun. It's a practically perfect way to start your Disney adventure and begin collecting happy thoughts from day one!
D, I hope your journey is filled with magic, adventure, and enough happy thoughts to keep you soaring all the way to Neverland. If you need any more tips, fly back by and visit us again. We'd be happy to help!
