Hey there, Roberta! Welcome back to planDisney! I love seeing the questions you have submitted to us… they are all great ones!
Your June arrival date is just around the corner! I bet you are getting so excited! It will be here before you know it, and oh my goodness, the adventures waiting for you on this first visit. Have you reserved your dining yet? You are right in your booking window for
advanced dining reservations, so if you have not made those plans, now is the perfect time to map out your meals, especially if you are dreaming of some
table service dining sprinkled throughout your stay.
Now, let’s dive into your answer! The
after 2 P.M. ticket is such a fantastic value. While I do love a full day in the parks, there is something magical about a slow, relaxing morning at your resort, perhaps with a dip in the pool and a little sunshine to start your day. With the after 2 P.M. ticket, valid May 26 through July 29, 2026, which lines up beautifully with your visit, you can enter one theme park per day starting right at 2 P.M.
If you are anything like me and love the nighttime sparkle, this ticket is made for you! You can enjoy plenty of attractions in the afternoon, then soak in all the magic after sunset, when the parks light up, the temperatures cool down, and the energy comes alive. Whether it is the fireworks at Magic Kingdom or EPCOT, or the
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade, your evening will be full of fun and magic.
I was in Walt Disney World around your travel dates last June, and I have one very important tip for you: drink LOTS of water! You can grab free cups of ice water at any quick service location throughout the parks or utilize the convenient
water bottle refill stations throughout the parks. Trust me, it was a lifesaver in the heat, and that first icy sip felt like Elsa had waved her hand and cooled everything down!
Roberta, I hope you have an amazing visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Please keep bringing us your questions, we love helping Guests, whether it is their first or their hundredth visit!
Wishing you magical memories!
Kimberly
