Hey Howdy Hey, Doris!
Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that your upcoming vacation is just around the riverbend. I am sure you are hoping to get your Donald Ducks in a row for your upcoming trip, so I'll get right to the answer to your question.
While we here at planDisney can give you our best tips for planning your Disney vacation, unfortunately, we can't book your theme park tickets for you. However, you have two options.
Since you are a Disney Vacation Club Member, you can call Member Services who can help you purchase your tickets. Alternatively, you can purchase your theme park tickets online from the Walt Disney World website. As you will be purchasing date-based tickets, meaning they will be for specific dates, you will NOT need a theme park reservation for your visit.
Here's how to purchase your theme park tickets online:
- First, log into your My Disney Experience account on the Walt Disney World website (it's in the top right corner. select the number of days for which you would like the tickets.
- Then go to the "Tickets and Parks" tab and select "Buy Theme Park Tickets."
- From here, follow the steps to purchase your tickets. You can select the ticket type, such as a single-day ticket, Park Hopper, etc., and then select the dates for which you will purchase the tickets.
Now, Doris, if you purchase a date-based ticket, you do not need a theme park reservation. Only undated tickets, including Annual Passes, need theme park reservations. For date-based tickets, you select a start date, and then you have a window in which you can use the tickets. But, for a multi-day ticket, you do not have to use the tickets on consecutive days. For example, if I purchase a three-day ticket starting on March 26th, I have until March 30th to use these three ticket days at any time within this window.
I hope this helps you, Doris! If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, giddy-up back here and I'll be so happy to lasso you an answer.
Happy Trails,
Keri
