Hi there! Greetings from New York and welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question, I'm thrilled to help! It sounds like you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort. You are sure to make amazing memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
To receive admission to the theme parks, you will need a valid
Walt Disney World Theme Park Ticket. All guests age 3 and older require a valid Walt Disney World Theme Park Ticket to enter the theme parks. Those children younger than 3 years old do not require a theme park ticket. Children ages 3 to 9 years old will have a different cost than guests ages 10 years old and up. You will be able to choose between our standard date-based ticket for entry to one theme park per day or elevate your experience with the
Park Hopper Option, granting access to multiple parks daily. My family and I love this option because it allows us to maximize our time in the parks!
Once you've secured your tickets, next you'll need to consider your entry method.
MagicBands are my favorite choice. Worn on the wrist, these bands serve as your all access pass to the wonders of Walt Disney World. When linked with the
My Disney Experience App, your MagicBand functions as your theme park ticket. Be sure to download the app once you're stateside. Park entrances are equipped with readers to tap with your MagicBand for entrance. If you opt for a Walt Disney World Resort
vacation package, your MagicBand doubles as your room key!
If during your stay you purchase
Disney Genie+ or
Individual Lightning Lane, which allows guests to bypass standby lines and enter the Lightning Lane to access select attractions, you can also use your MagicBand to tap into the Lightning Lane for the attraction you’ve chosen when it’s time to ride! Please note that MagicBand orders are not available for international shipping. However, you can easily purchase them upon arrival at Walt Disney World Resort from various locations, including the World of Disney at
Disney Springs and select Resort hotel shops.
I hope you find this information helpful. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to
reach out to me directly and I'll gladly assist! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
