Hi Jenny! Welcome to planDisney!
I bet you're getting so excited for your upcoming trip to
The Most Magical Place on Earth! This year, there are so many new and exciting happenings around the Resort, you'll probably want to use all five of your Theme Park days in order to take it all in! With new rides like
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, new nighttime shows like
Disney Enchantment and
Harmonious as well as recently reopened dining options like
Jiko - The Cooking Place, you'll never run out of things to do!
While
Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park Tickets do open up worlds of magic, that magic also ends, just like Cinderella's coach turns back into a pumpkin at midnight! When you purchase your Theme Park tickets you will see that you'll have a range of dates that these tickets can be used. For a five-day ticket, you'll have the ability to visit the Parks over a range of eight days.
All of your tickets must be used within that valid 8-day window. After this, your tickets will expire. This means you don't have to use your Park days consecutively, you can take a day or two "off" of Park hopping to spend some time swimming and lounging at your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or shopping at
Disney Springs!
Since tickets are nontransferable and nonrefundable I would suggest only purchasing the number of days you'll definitely be able to be at the Parks and adding on if necessary. You can modify your tickets to ADD days as long as the tickets are not yet expired and still have remaining entry days on them.
While you're planning, make sure to remember to make your
Park Pass Reservations! You'll need both a valid Theme Park Ticket and Park Pass Reservation to enter your first Park every day!
Enjoy your magical vacation, Jenny!
