Hiya, David, and welcome to planDisney! It's wonderful that you've found us here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It sounds like you'll be arriving in just a couple of short weeks, and you must be getting so excited!
David, now is the perfect time to finalize your vacation details. If you're ready, you're welcome to purchase your
Disney Theme Park tickets online ahead of your visit. Some Guests choose to wait until they arrive to purchase tickets, but I'm the type of person who likes to plan ahead of time. At this time, Canada residents can take advantage of
Special Offers for tickets, so be sure to check that benefit out as you make your plans. Please keep in mind that offers are subject to change without notice.
When you purchase your tickets, you can link them in your MyDisney account. If they show up blue, you can go straight to the park entrance. If they show up yellow, you will need to activate them before entering a theme park. If you need to activate your tickets, consider stopping by the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs when you arrive. My dear friend and fellow Panelist,
Candace, recommends doing this because that way, you don't have to spend your time activating your tickets on your first park day, and you won't have to carry your passports in the parks.
If you're headed to EPCOT during your holiday, you'll enjoy the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. This festival is a celebration of all things that bloom and grow, with life-size topiaries, seasonal food and beverages, and special entertainment throughout the park. It's fun for the whole family, even the littlest travelers!
David, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down to your vacation. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have.
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
