    I'm from Canada how far in advance do I need to Purchase tickets if I want the Canadian Residency discount?

    Wishing you a warm Canadian welcome, Wendy!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney with a question about the Canadian Resident Ticket Offer! I'm so glad you're looking into this deal - it's a fantastic way to save money on Disney World theme park tickets! I was thrilled when the details were announced and wasted no time gathering my Disney Gift Cards to order tickets for my family's upcoming trip. Tickets can be purchased for ticket dates from today through September 27, 2025. 

    I have great news! When purchasing your Canadian Resident theme park tickets, you can immediately link them to your account in the My Disney Experience app. If the tickets show up yellow, they will need to be activated before entering a theme park but if the tickets are blue, you can head straight to the gate and start making magical memories. My family usually activates our tickets at the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs on arrival day. That way, we don't have to worry about activating them in the morning at a theme park ticket window on our first park day and need to carry our passports for the rest of the day.

    One of my favourite ways to save a little extra on a Disney vacation is by using Disney Gift Cards. Did you know they can help you stretch your budget even further? I always recommend purchasing them in Canadian dollars because when you use them at Walt Disney World, they’re automatically converted to U.S. dollars at the previous day's exchange rate. Plus, by paying with Canadian Disney Gift Cards, you can avoid the currency exchange fees that are associated with credit cards. My family loves using them for dining, merchandise, and more - it’s an easy way to save! If you have multiple gift cards, you can visit www.disneygiftcard.com and merge cards (a gift card can hold up to a maximum of $1000). It's important to note that you can't combine Canadian and American gift cards. 

    Wendy, I hope this information is helpful and that you're able to take advantage of the Canadian Resident Ticket Offer. If you have any other questions, please let me know - I'm happy to help! 

    Happy travels,
    Candace
