Hiya Richard!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I am so glad you decided to plan a Disney vacation, and you picked such a wonderful time to visit the theme parks. Indeed, there are so many unique offerings during the holidays, so I cannot wait for you to experience it all.
To pick up physical tickets, you can indeed stop by any Vacation Planning window at the main entrance of any of the four theme parks or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. If you purchased theme park tickets with the special Florida resident rate, you would have either uploaded a picture of your ID upon checkout or chosen to bring your ID in person instead. In the case of the latter, or if you used a different
proof of residence, make sure to also bring those with you when picking up your tickets.
To skip the lines, you can also simply
link your theme park tickets to your My Disney Experience account! Indeed, if you already have a MagicBand or
MagicBand+ device, you can connect it to your account by going into the
My Disney Experience mobile app and clicking on the three-line menu at the bottom right of your screen. Then, click "MagicBands and More" and enter the necessary information. MagicBands and MagicBand+ devices can be purchased online on shopDisney or in person at select merchandise locations. Another way to use your theme park admission is to
download your ticket into your digital wallet on your iPhone, Apple Watch or Google Pay-enabled Android smartphone. Then, you can use your smartphone to get into the theme parks! Don't forget to
book your theme park reservations, and voilà, you are ready to enjoy the Disney magic.
I hope this was helpful, Richard, and that you will have the best day ever on your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any other questions or want some suggestions, don't hesitate to reach back out. It is always an honour to help fellow Guests make magical memories that will last a lifetime!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
