Hiya Marian - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
Theme Park Tickets are your key to all of the magic, Marian! I'm here to help you better understand what your options are to plan the perfect visit. When purchasing tickets, the first thing you need to decide on is how many days you'd like to visit. You can purchase tickets for a single day or all the way up to ten days, and the price per day goes down the more days you purchase!
Each day of your ticket will allow you to access one of the
four magical Theme Parks, and you'll decide which park you want to visit with your ticket. You'll make a
Park Pass Reservation for that specific park on that specific day, which when combined with your ticket, will allow you to enter and experience that park.
Marian, if you'd like to visit more than one Theme Park in a single day you'll want to add the
Park Hopper Option. Currently, if your ticket has the Park Hopper Option added you'll start your day at the park you made a Park Pass Reservation for, and then after 2 p.m., you'll be able to visit any other available Theme Parks through the rest of the day. So you can start the day at
Magic Kingdom Park, take the Monorail over to
EPCOT for the afternoon (after 2 p.m.), and end your day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios for a viewing of
Fantasmic! Now that's a great day.
To answer the other part of your question about cost, the answer is - it depends! Theme Park Tickets at Walt Disney World Resort are priced dynamically, which means that prices differ depending on the day you want to visit. Tickets are priced slightly higher on dates that are more popular, and slightly lower on dates that are a bit less popular with Guests. For a multi-day ticket, the total price will depend on the first day you plan to visit. If you're purchasing a single-day ticket, the price may also vary depending on which park you want to visit.
You might also want to consider adding
Memory Maker to your tickets, giving you access to all the wonderful PhotoPass photos you'll have taken throughout the park. You're making magical memories - make sure you take them home with you!
I hope this information has been helpful, Marian. I've provided some basics -
stop by anytime with more specific questions as you continue your planning journey!
