    Zoe from Manchester Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    We have 14 day date based tickets, when trying to book places like droid depot we are getting message which reads "Valid admission required, a theme park reservation may be required based on admission type".

    Greetings, Zoe, and welcome to planDisney! You'll be arriving soon for your Walt Disney World Resort holiday, and it sounds like you're planning a fabulous trip. Let's look at how guests from "across the pond" can book experiences. 

    Many Enchanting Extras require payment at the time of booking, so some international guests will need to wait until they're in the United States to schedule those experiences. My tip is to hop on the My Disney Experience mobile app as soon as you land!

    If you're a guest of a Disney Resort Hotel, you can make reservations for up to ten days of your stay, so look for openings later in your visit for the best availability. I'm sprinkling pixie dust and wishing on a star that you'll have a practically perfect selection!

    International guests can book certain experiences in advance by phone. Fireworks Cruises are a fantastic choice, and I see some numbers listed on that page for international guests. Feel free to give that a try for advanced bookings.

    You'll be here for the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, so I hope you spend some time smelling the roses...figuratively and literally! I love snapping photos of the topiaries, and I've also been chipping away at the Garden Graze challenge. Did you know that you can save your Garden Graze passport and have it stamped on different days? As long as you get all five stamps, you can redeem your passport for your sweet treat reward. I'm on a mission to complete mine soon!

    Zoe, travel safely and have a magical time at Walt Disney World. Feel free to stop by planDisney with any additional questions. Cheerio!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
