Hello Charlene!
Welcome to planDisney! In Luca, the main character dreamed about going to see the world and I am excited to help you on your travels from Italy to Walt Disney World Resort!
So Charlene, guests from Europe who purchase before they arrive have the option to purchase
2 to 10-day theme park tickets. There is currently no option for a 1-day ticket if you purchase it while in Italy. I suggest you wait till you arrive in the United States as there are 1-day tickets available for those in the United States. Since date-based tickets do not need a
theme park reservation, there should be no problem with purchasing them last minute. So tell your fears, "Silenzio Bruno" and when you arrive purchase that ticket. There are no one-day discounted tickets available right now for guests in the United States but maybe when you arrive something could appear.
One of the best times to visit Walt Disney World Resort is during the
holidays and it appears that you plan on arriving during that time. The Parks are beautifully decorated and I love all the festive charm. It can be a bit crowded so I highly suggest that if you have one day to enjoy the Parks, to purchase
Disney Genie+. I suggest purchasing it before 7 am as your first Lightning Lane can be booked then. After that, you can book throughout the day. Just note the time you can do that on your
My Disney Experience Mobile App and set an alarm so you don't miss out. I aim to get at least 5 Lightning Lanes in a day but I am an overachiever. I have faith that you can do it too Charlene.
I hope this was helpful and you have a fabulous time!
Happy Planning!
