    I want to check in to Disney World resort on 7/25/2022 but I want my park passes to begin 7/24/2022, Do I need to purchase my hotel and tickets separately?

    Hello, Julie!

    Thank you for stopping by and visiting us at planDisney, welcome. There’s nothing I love more than planning for a visit. It’s funny in a way, even while we are still there, I find myself planning for our next visit. It’s our favorite place to be!

    Julie, you are correct. If you are wanting to visit the parks before your check-in date, you will want to book your resort and tickets separately. Otherwise, your ticket start date will begin on your check-in date. My sister experienced this back in April. Her package was a good deal, and it was a last-minute realization, so she ended up just purchasing a 1-Day Ticket to use the day before her check-in date. It worked out perfectly! So that is an option for you to try as well. She also ended up pushing her flight to a later time so she could enjoy the parks for a little longer, which is also another great tip. My family and I always look to purchase the earliest arrival flight and the latest departure so that we can enjoy the most of our visit.

    Overall, it was a fantastic trip. I’m so happy she was able to book her trip around the same time my family was there so we could all enjoy some extra time together. I hope this helps answer your question. And please let us know if there’s anything else we can do when it comes to planning for this visit!

    Have a Magical Day!
