Hey there Ashly and welcome to planDisney. November 2024 will be here before you know it and you will enjoy the winter wonderland that Mickey and the rest of the Fab Five have planned. When I am visiting for an extended time I make sure to soak up as much time in every area including Disney's BoardWalk and Disney Springs.
Your question about purchasing a Walt Disney World Theme Park ticket longer than 10 days for United States residents (EU residents can purchase 14-day tickets) has been a Guest head-scratcher for a long time and is a secret that Mickey keeps tucked in his glove. I believe the reason is that once you visit Walt Disney World Theme Parks 12 days a year (three or four short trips) it is more affordable to purchase an annual pass.
While there is very little price difference I ran several scenarios for you. Here are the results (prices subject to change):
- 10-day ticket 11-30-24 plus 5-day ticket 12-10-24 - approximately $1540
- 5-day ticket 11-30-24 plus 10-day ticket 12-5-24 - approximately $1603
- Disney Incredi-Pass - approximately $1541
While this may not be the best for your budget, the Disney Incredi-Pass annual pass is the best value when considering the Annual Passholder discount benefits on
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, food, merchandise, and complimentary theme park
parking and hopping. I suggest looking at a cost analysis of your total vacation and see how it nets out.
Also, with a 10-day ticket you have 14 days to enter the theme parks ten times. You could use some of those non-theme park days to relax by the pool or visit Disney Springs and some of the other Orlando area attractions to help the trip be more budget-friendly. If you want more Disney time consider buying a 10-Day ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option which gives you more access to Disney magic. With a 10-day theme park ticket you will get 10 entries to enjoy experiences such as the
Disney Water Parks,
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf,
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf, and much more. There is so much to do.
Ashly, I hope this information helps you plan the most spectacular Disney vacation. Please feel free to reach out to the

Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
