Welcome to planDisney, Katrina! There's a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day, and yours is going to be even more magical as you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort! This weekend will be a flurry of activity at the
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex as cheerleaders from all over the nation compete for the coveted title of National Champion!
Katrina, the National High School Cheerleading Championship is a separately ticketed event at ESPN Wide World of Sports, so if you purchased your 2-Day Park Hopper Ticket directly through Varsity Spirit (the host of the event), it will include up to 5 days of admission to the competition. If you purchased your theme park tickets directly through Disney, they will not grant you admission to the event. If this is the case, hakuna matata (it means no worries!) you can still
purchase single-day admission tickets to the competition events online throughout the competition weekend. Tickets are priced at $45 per day for the 2025 competition; once purchased you will receive an email that you can use to scan into the complex, or you can link them to your
My Disney Experience account and scan in using a
MagicBand or
Disney MagicMobile pass on your mobile device.
In between competition events, I hope you'll have some time to explore the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts which combines the creativity of fine arts, culinary arts, and even performing arts throughout the park! It's a great way to tap into your creative side and see what magic you can create!
I hope this helps, Katrina, and I hope whatever team you're cheering for has a winning performance and enjoys their magical competition experience! If you have any other questions we can help with before your trip, come back to
planDisney and let us know! We're all ears!
See you tomorrow,
Alison
