Hi Andrew!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm excited to see that you'll be starting your Walt Disney World Resort vacation very soon. Since your jolly holiday is about to begin, let's not waste any time getting an answer to your question!
Andrew, it sounds like you have purchased a
14-day Disney Magic Ticket. This ticket is valid for admission to the parks on any 14 days over an 18-day window from your selected arrival date. This means that even though your plans have shifted, you should be able to use your tickets with an arrival date of March 3rd when you will now be in the parks - March 6th through March 17th.
There are a few benefits to your ticket that I'd like to highlight so you can make the most of your visit!
Memory Maker is currently included with Disney Magic Tickets which means you'll have access to all of the wonderful photos from rides and attractions and those taken by
Disney PhotoPass photographers around the parks. In addition, your ticket allows you to park hop between the four theme parks and access the water parks too. With the dates of your visit, you have a unique opportunity to visit BOTH of Disney's water parks. Currently,
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park is open and scheduled to close as of March 16th.
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park will re-open after a seasonal refurbishment on March 17th. This means that you could race down Mount Gushmore on
Summit Plummet one day and then hop on a raft at
Crush 'n' Gusher the next!
Also, the annual
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is just getting started. This is a beautiful time of the year to visit EPCOT while the park is "buzzing" with all kinds of excitement! From the beautiful topiaries to the delicious Outdoor Kitchens and the wonderful Garden Rocks Concert Series, there is so much to see and enjoy you'll probably want to visit over several days. I'm always a fan of the unique festival food and recommend checking out the
Foodie Guide for a quick peek at what you can find around the park.
Andrew, I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort that is practically perfect in every way! Please stop by to see us again if you have any other vacation planning questions in the future - we're all ears!
Cheers,
Kristi
