Hey Suzanne, welcome to planDisney!
I think adding an extra day to your theme park tickets is a wonderful idea! There’s so much to do in Walt Disney World, I don’t think you’ll regret having more time to explore the theme parks and maybe even revisit some of your favorites from the days before.
The
Walt Disney World website for Australian Guests suggests using a travel agent to book your vacation package. It is not currently possible to book a Resort reservation or purchase theme park tickets through the Australian website. I recommend reaching out to the service you booked with to make changes to your current package. You could also wait until you arrive at Walt Disney World to purchase a 1-Day theme park ticket.
As you wait for your Walt Disney World vacation, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates about the theme parks.
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin has temporarily closed for a refurbishment and is expected to reopen next year. The
new features look so cool, and I can’t wait to help Buzz defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is also currently closed and will reopen in 2026. Check out the Disney Parks Blog for any other updates that might be announced!
I hope this answer points you in the right direction, Suzanne! We’re here at
planDisney to help in any way we can as you prepare for your 2026 Walt Disney World vacation!
