Hi Hazel!
Welcome to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to answer questions from my fellow guests from the UK, and I'm excited to see you have your holiday booked for next year. I hope you managed to take advantage of the Free Dining & Drinks offer for 2025. If not, this
new special offer has just been announced for 2025!
I have good news for you because the
14-Day Magic Tickets can be used over 18 days. So you can select your start date as your arrival date, and it will continue to be valid for 18 days! Your 14 days do not have to be used consecutively, so if you need a pool day or want to do some shopping at Disney Springs you can slot those days in wherever you want. Park reservations are no longer required with these tickets which enables us to be more spontaneous with our plans.
As
water parks are included in our 14-Day Magic Tickets it's worth noting that a visit to a water park doesn't count towards your 14-day admission to theme parks. For example, if you visit a water park and a theme park on the same day you will use one of your 14-day park admissions; but if you visit a water park and no theme park on the same day you will not use any of your 14-day park admissions. I hope that makes sense! Your 14 Days of theme park admissions are not reduced by any visits to water parks. This makes our Magic Tickets even better value, and enables us to visit the water parks 14 times if we want to during our holidays! (
Subject to seasonal opening.)
Even with your 14-Day Magic Ticket having a start date of your check-in day, you will still have 8 days in which to use your ticket after your 10-day stay at your Disney Resort hotel.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish, to clarify anything about your tickets, or anything else! We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
