Welcome to planDisney, Karen.
This is a great question! That day when you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort is incredibly exciting. The anticipation FINALLY gives way to reality. You're "home" at last! If you're anything like me, you'll want to visit a Theme Park straight away (for me, it's Magic Kingdom Park). But what if you arrive mid-way through the day? Is it worth paying full price for half a day?
Now, back in 2019, Walt Disney World had a special offer called Mid-Day Magic Tickets. These tickets were valid for admission after 12 p.m. However, since the beginning of the pandemic, these tickets haven't been available. Unfortunately, we haven't been told if or when they will return. You can always keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for any updates on this. However, for now, you'll have to pay for a regular ticket if you'd like to visit a Theme Park.
That might not be the answer you wanted to hear, Karen. However, let me suggest some brilliant (and free!) alternatives:
As you can see, there are tons of magical (and cheap) ways to spend that first half-day. Adventure is out there, Karen! I hope you have an enchanting vacation.
ChEARS,
