Hi Debbie,
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney today. I'm thrilled to hear you're planning a summer visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Sun, fun, and a sprinkle of pixie dust sound like the perfect combination for a memorable vacation!
The
current Canada Resident ticket offer is a great way to save on theme park tickets for visits of 5 days or more between January 11 and September 28, 2024. Keep in mind, this offer is only available for advance purchase and guests must show proof of Canadian residency at the ticket window before first use. I reached out to a Cast Member to see if I could get an official end date for the promotion, but unfortunately, they didn't have a set date to share. The usage period is pretty long so I would like to assume you'll be ok waiting to purchase in the new year. However, offers are always subject to change and availability so I recommend purchasing sooner rather than later to avoid any disappointment.
I experienced this very disappointment myself when Annual Pass sales were temporarily halted in 2021. I was planning to upgrade my existing standard theme park tickets when I visited just a few weeks later, but that plan was foiled. Thankfully, sales resumed this April so I immediately completed my purchase and have enjoyed monthly visits ever since. Now I'm always sure to hop on a special offer or experience as soon as I see it become available so I don't miss a minute of the magic.
As you're making plans for your August trip be sure to schedule some time for
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which should coincide with your travel dates. It's a wonderful way to taste your way around World Showcase as you enjoy attractions, entertainment, and
even live musical performances, too! You might also want to spend a day splashing around at one of the
Water Parks. I haven't experienced them myself yet, but it's definitely on my 2024 list of to-dos!
Debbie, if you need any recommendations for your visit or have additional questions please come back and let us know. We're always glad to help!
Magic and memories,
Amy
