Hi Mary Ann! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! I'm excited you are planning to spend some extended time at the
Most Magical Place on Earth! I recently returned from a 10-day trip myself, and being able to spend that much time there is truly amazing. I was able to slow down and enjoy each experience that came my way. I didn't feel like I had to fit it all into one day.
Yes, you are correct! Walt Disney World did release a special ticket offer for the summer that allows you to visit all four theme parks at a discounted rate. This
4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is perfect for Guests that plan to visit for that length of time. Since you are planning a 10-day trip and want tickets for each day of your stay, the most cost-effective option for you will be to purchase a
standard, 10-day theme park ticket. The cost can be as low as $60 per day (pricing is always subject to change) when purchasing a 10-day ticket. Based on the number crunching I did with purchasing tickets under each scenario, you will save a great deal when purchasing your tickets this way. In fact, you can even add the Park Hopper Plus Option to a 10-day standard ticket and still save a sizeable amount from your original plan. This add-on allows you to visit multiple parks on the same day and also grants you visits to the water parks.
At this time, when purchasing a standard 10-day park ticket, you will be required to make
theme park reservations to the parks you want to visit each day. I would do so as soon as you purchase your tickets, since availability may fill up quickly depending on the time of year you visit. You can always modify them as needed.
Mary Ann, I hope this information helps you decide when purchasing your park tickets.
Stop back and see us anytime at planDisney!
Happy planning!
