    Hello, when buying a 6 day ticket with start date of September 25, does it have to be used on the 25th or can it be used the first time on the 26th. Not sure we will arrive in time on 9/25.

    Hiya Susan! Thanks for stopping by planDisney, where we love helping Guests like you with answers to their Disney vacation questions. Your vacation is just around the riverbend! Before you know it, you will be soaking in the magic of Walt Disney World Resort

    Date-based theme park tickets are valid through a window of days, so you won’t need to use your ticket for the first time on the exact start date. You will want to check the date your theme park tickets are valid until, typically 9 days from the selected start date. As long as you use all 6 days of your theme park tickets within that 9-day window, you will be good to go! So, you don’t have to worry about using a theme park ticket on the day you arrive. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can take advantage of the Water Park Benefit for Disney Resort hotel Guests on the day you arrive. 

    Have an unforgettable visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Susan! If you have more vacation questions, please bring them here. At planDisney, we love helping our Pals experience the most magical vacation possible.
