Welcome to planDisney, Susan! Thanks so much for sending us your question! From one Colorado mom to another, I'm excited for you and your daughter to visit Walt Disney World Resort during UCA Nationals!
My daughter is a high school Pom and will be competing in Orlando next month, so I know what it's like to want to plan for some time in the theme parks! Your
park hopper ticket will only grant you access to the theme parks. You will need to purchase a separate ticket for all competition events at
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The box office will not be open for ticket sales, so you will need to purchase tickets through this
Disney Events link before arriving at the complex. Once you purchase your ticket, you can link your ticket confirmation number to your
My Disney Experience account. I would also recommend downloading the
My Disney Experience Mobile app prior to your arrival at the complex. When you arrive to watch the competition, tap your
Disney MagicMobile Pass,
MagicBand, or card that is linked to your Disney account to enter the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Because you are planning to visit the theme parks, be sure to make your
Disney Park Pass Reservations before you arrive. At this time, a park reservation is not required after the first park and you can park hop anytime after 2:00 p.m. to another theme park. When you aren't cheering on your daughter and her team,
The World's Most Magical Celebration will have you cheering M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E as you visit the theme parks! Be sure to capture all of the magical moments using
Disney PhotoPass Service!
I'm wishing your daughter and her team pixie-dusted luck as they compete for the UCA National title! I know you must be so proud and I hope you have so much fun making these special milestone memories!
Best Wishes!
Lisa
