Hi Tyta and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you're planning a visit to my favourite holiday destination -
Walt Disney World, this Springtime! Did you know that the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will be taking place during your visit? This is the best time of year to visit Epcot, in my opinion, as it always looks extra beautiful when this Special Event is being held.
Going back to your question, Tyta, it is only possible for UK Guests to purchase 7-day or 14-day UK and Ireland Exclusive
Disney Magic Tickets directly from the UK version of the Walt Disney World website. As you have already discovered, it is, however, possible to purchase other types of tickets from third party organisations in advance.
One thing to bear in mind is that the cost of other types of Theme Park tickets do vary depending on several factors such as the date of your actual visit, the park that you will be visiting, whether you want to add the park hopper option, or not and so on.
Upon your arrival in the U.S. you will also have the option of purchasing 1-Day or 2-Day tickets from the U.S. version of the Walt Disney World website or, you can indeed purchase tickets at the gate at any of the four Theme Parks.
Top Tip - If you plan to visit Disney Springs prior to the date you intend on visiting a Theme Park, I would highly recommend purchasing your tickets from the
Ticket Center at Disney Springs. This way, you can have your tickets in hand, ready, on the day of your actual visit leaving you free to soak up every second of the magic without any delay, on arrival.
I hope that this information has helped you to make a decision, Tyta. Please feel free to re-visit us here at planDisney if we can be of any further help with the planning of your trip.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
