Heigh-Ho Cynthia,
It sounds like you are gEARing to plan a Practically Perfect Walt Disney World vacation. And budgeting can be a bit daunting but there is no time like the present to begin. Walt Disney World tickets are easily customizable and pricing depends on when you are visiting, how many days you would like to visit the parks and if you are interested in an upgraded ticket option. Upgraded ticket options include the Park Hopper option, the Park Hopper Plus option and the Water Park and Sports option. The most popular is the
Park Hopper option, at the moment this allows Guests to make a
Disney Park Pass reservation at the first park they plan to enter for the day. Guests must enter that park first and then, beginning at 2:00 p.m., Guests can make their way to any of the other Walt Disney World Theme parks until the time of park closures. These options allow Guests to create and budget what best fits the needs of their family or friends, during their visit to Walt Disney World.
With the above information, you can head
to the following link and navigate the process to find the price ranges available for what you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in a 5-day standard theme park ticket starting May 13, 2022, each adult ticket before taxes is currently $499.62 and each child ticket is currently $480.69. If you upgrade to the Park Hopper option the adult tickets would currently cost $584.62 and the child would currently cost $565.69. Feel free to enter the dates, the number of days and upgraded options that best fit your visit. Once you have decided, make sure you check the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar to confirm the parks you are interested in visiting are available. Next, purchase your tickets and then make a Disney Park Pass reservation. Your dates to enter the Walt Disney World Theme Parks are not guaranteed until you have completed your Disney Park reservations.
