Hi Matthew,
I'm super excited to hear that you'll be experiencing the magic and fun of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation this fall! Between
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, and the brand new
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, October is a wonderful time to visit! You're going to create memories that you'll cherish forever!
Over the past few years, annual theme park ticket increases have usually happened in February or March, but a brand new ticketing structure
was introduced last fall and included some price changes, too. Since we can never know for sure if or when prices are going to change, I'd encourage you to go ahead and purchase your tickets as soon as you can. Plus, did you know that when you buy 3-day or longer tickets
online, you're currently able to save $20 per ticket off the cost at the gate? Perhaps the best reason for purchasing your tickets in advance, though, is that once they're
linked to your My Disney Experience account, you'll be able to make three
FastPass+ selections per day 60 days ahead of time since you're staying at a
Disney Resort hotel! By making your FastPass+ selections early, you'll find the most flexibility and availability, plus it's so much fun to see your itinerary really come together!
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Matthew, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're planning your trip. I hope that you have a truly magical vacation this
fall!
Missy
