    Can we buy tickets for the day when we get to the Walt Disney front entrance? I’ve been told we must buy them well in advance and make the reservation to actually get into the park of our choice. Thank you so much!

    Hiya, Elizabeth! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. I'm happy to help with your vacation planning question so you can have all of your (Donald) ducks in a row before your September trip to Walt Disney World Resort

    Fall is such a fun time to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. No one does spooky season like Walt Disney World, and there are all sorts of seasonal experiences in the theme parks and the resorts. Our family loves Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom Park! Another family favorite is Minnie's Seasonal Dining at Hollywood & Vine (Disney's Hollywood Studios), which is a great buffet meal and features Minnie and pals in their very best costumes for photos and autographs. 

    As for tickets, I'm happy to report that you do not have to purchase far in advance--the requirement for park reservations for single-day tickets is no longer in effect. During peak times like the December holidays, the theme parks can reach capacity, but this is unlikely for a September trip. You can purchase tickets in-person at the windows at any of the theme parks or Disney Springs, or purchase them online in advance to link them to your My Disney Experience account. 

    Elizabeth, I hope this information is just what you need for your planning purposes. If our planDisney squad can help with any other questions as your vacation approaches, please reach out anytime!

    See Ya Real Soon!
