Welcome to planDisney, Louise!
So you're planning a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth? What a great idea! I recently returned from a trip to Neverland myself and I had the most wonderful time. Make sure you check out the new
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction at
EPCOT! I rode that beauty eight times and each adventure was just as fun as the last. I wonder what your favorite ride song will be? Mine was "September" by Earth, Wind, & Fire. You're going to love it!
Louise, as a former UK-based Guest, I can tell you that folks traveling from your side of the pond cannot purchase 1-Day tickets through the
official Walt Disney Travel Company website. As you mentioned in your question, you can purchase either a
7-Day Magic Ticket or a 14-Day Magic Ticket. Both of these options give you unlimited access to
all four Theme Parks and the
two Water Parks, plus the
Park Hopper Option,
Memory Maker, and more! I'm originally from Liverpool and back in the day, I was a huge fan of the 14-Day Magic Ticket. It's a fantastic deal (and I miss taking advantage of it now I live in the U.S.A.).
If you can only visit for one day, then you'll need to purchase your ticket when you arrive in the States. You'll then be able to access
Disneyworld.Disney.go.com to purchase from any of the ticket options currently available there. Alternatively, you can even purchase your ticket once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. Tickets can be purchased from the ticket booths at the Theme Park entrances or even the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. However, since there are currently capacity limits at the Theme Parks, I'd recommend checking out the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar before you purchase any tickets.
I hope you have a magical time, Louise! Thanks for stopping by planDisney.
