Hiya Emily! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
Oh boy! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation will be here before you know it! Now is the perfect time to iron out any last-minute details and make sure you are ready to experience all of the magic that awaits!
To activate your
park tickets, you'll need to stop by any of the
Guest Relations booths conveniently located outside the entrance of each theme park. You can do so on the morning of your first park day if you did not want to take a trip there the day prior. Otherwise, you can stop by the day before or at the
Disney Ticket Center in Disney Springs to activate them. Your 4-day tickets will not begin until you enter the park the following day. If you are a rope drop fan like myself and want to get a head start on your first park day, then activating them the day before will be the most beneficial. You'll be able to head directly into the park and head to your first attraction.
In addition to activating your tickets, you'll also need
theme park reservations to enter the first park you visit each day. These reservations can be made in advance using your
My Disney Experience account. First, you'll need to make sure your tickets are linked properly to your account. Once they are, you can select the park you want to start each day at. With the park hopper tickets, you'll be able to hop to any of the remaining parks starting at 2 PM each day. Park reservations are not required for the parks you plan to hop to.
Emily, I wanted to thank you and your family for your military service! I hope you all have a magical time!
See ya real soon!
Greg
