Hi Debbie and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you're planning a Summer trip to my favourite holiday destination -
Walt Disney World! My family will also be visiting in August and are excitedly counting down the days until we arrive as I am sure you are, too.
When purchasing
UK & Ireland Exclusive Disney Magic Tickets, you must choose a start day at the time of booking. You can then use your 14-day tickets over an 18-day window. So, for example, if you selected a start date of 19th August, your tickets would be valid from 19th August - 5th September.
If you book a Hotel + Ticket package with the Walt Disney Travel Company, via the UK version of the Walt Disney World website, the start date of your tickets is automatically selected as your arrival date.
Your 14-Day Disney Magic Tickets include 14 days of Theme Park admissions as well as 14 individual admissions to:-
Disney Water Parks (subject to seasonal closure)
Miniature golf at Disney's Winter Summerland or Disney's Fantasia Gardens (access prior to 4pm)
Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course (tee times required)
ESPN Wide World of Sports (excludes separately ticketed events)
For clarity, you should be able to check the start date of your tickets on the
My Disney Experience App in the "My Tickets & Passes"section.
When I look at my own 14-Day Disney Magic Ticket in the My Disney Experience App it specifically states that the ticket is activated on arrival date and shows the exact dates that the ticket is valid for.
I hope that this information has been of help, Debbie. Please feel free to re-visit us if you have any other questions about your upcoming trip.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
