Hey Howdy Hey Linda and welcome to planDisney!
I am so happy to hear that you are planning your next trip to the Walt Disney World Resort for early next year. The early stages of planning are so exciting. There are so many things to look into such as which Disney Resorts Collection hotel will be fun to stay at and which to visit during off days. Theme park ticket usage is also a super exciting part of figuring out which parks you want to visit at which times. Thank you for stopping by with your question on theme park ticket usage. I will be happy to give you a little more details so you can better prepare for your trip.
Linda, you are on the right path that you do have a
specific use period for theme park tickets when purchased. Typically these valid use days depend on the number of days purchased. For your specific situation with 10-day theme park tickets, you will have 14 days to use them after the selected start date.
If you have visited the parks recently, you know that a lot can change in a short period. Currently, you are no longer required to make
Theme Park Reservations for your days in the parks with date-based tickets. These are the more common ones purchased online through the Walt Disney World site. There have been many other changes recently to the theme park experience and you may find things continue to change as you plan for your upcoming vacation. You can follow Disney Parks on social media as well as on the
Disney Parks Blog for all of the latest updates to better prepare for your vacation next year.
Of course, you always have a friend in us here at planDisney for any questions you may have in the future. Please feel free to stop back and let us know if we can help!
