Hi Alicia! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question!
I'm excited that you are considering a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort in the new year! While ticket packages have yet to go on sale for 2024, now is the perfect time to start planning your stay. Booking for the new year will be available starting at the end of this month!
Currently, if you were to purchase a
4-day park ticket, you'll have seven consecutive days to use your tickets. They are not required to be used on consecutive days, so you will have the option over those seven days to use them as you see fit. It's possible that when ticket packages are released for 2024 that things will change, but this is currently how a 4-day ticket is constructed.
When purchasing your park tickets, you'll have the ability to add the
Park Hopper Option to them. This will allow you to visit multiple parks on the same day. Essentially you can start your day on Main Street, U.S.A. and finish with a trip around the World Showcase. Adding this option creates flexibility in your day and allows you to experience more during each day.
If you plan to stay at a Disney Resorts hotel during your visit, you can bundle your reservation together with your ticket package. In this scenario, you'll only need to put down a deposit to confirm your booking. The balance of your stay will be due 30 days before your arrival. Otherwise, if you purchase stand-alone tickets, you'll need to pay for them in full at the time of purchase.
Alicia, I hope this information helps you when it comes time to book your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
Happy planning!
Greg
