Welcome, Andrew to planDisney! We're available for any Walt Disney World vacation planning questions anytime!
Walt Disney World theme park tickets for a 5-day visit are valid for 8 days starting from the date you select as your first day, not the first day you tap at the entrance of one of the theme parks. For example, if your visit begins on June 29, 2025, you will have until July 6, 2025, to use all five days of your tickets, and June 29 is the first day they become active.
Your park tickets do not have to be used on consecutive days, giving you the flexibility to enjoy rest days, visit a Disney water park, or explore
Disney Springs in between your park visits.
If you need more time, consider upgrading to a Park Hopper or a Park Hopper Plus option, which allows you to extend your fun with visits to the water parks, golf courses, and more!
If you're unsure about adding the
Park Hopper option, you can always upgrade your ticket later at Guest Services in the parks or the front desk of your Walt Disney World resort. Just be sure to do so before your last day of use!
Andrew, have a magical time in the parks during your stay! If you find that you need additional help planning
Advanced Dining Reservations or
Lightning Lane selections, stop by and see us again here at planDisney!
Toodles,
Korliss
