    I bought tickets via the My Disney Experience app. They show "Not Valid for Park Entry. Show ID at ticket window to activate." Can I activate them at Disney Springs Ticket Center the day before?Do I need everyone's passport?

    Hiya, João Marcus! Welcome to planDisney!

    Your vacation is almost here. How exciting! In my opinion, this is a great time of year to visit Walt Disney World Resort. The weather is typically lovely, and the days are getting longer, which is great for long park days!
     
    To answer your question, João Marcus, if you purchased discounted tickets, it’s common for them to require activation upon arrival. The good news is that you can definitely get your tickets activated at Guest Relations at the Disney Springs Welcome Center. A passport will work perfectly as identification to activate your tickets, and every Guest in your party should bring theirs as well. This is actually a great strategy because you won’t have to worry about activating your tickets on the day of your first park visit. You can head straight to the first attraction you want to experience!

    I hope this answers your question, João Marcus! You’ll be visiting during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and EPCOT is especially beautiful this time of year, with fun Disney character topiaries and gorgeous garden displays. Plus, there are plenty of delicious eats and sips to enjoy at the Outdoor Kitchens throughout the park. I highly recommend checking out the Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide to see if anything catches your eye!

    If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your vacation, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at planDisney. My fellow panelists and I are always happy to help!

    See you real soon!
