    Can I purchase a ticket to the DII National School Spirit Championships if I already have Disney passes? I am just wanting to get into the dance nationals at the ESPN sports center. The event is scheduled for January 30,2026 - February 1, 2026. TY!

    Hiya Michael,

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about the DII National School Spirit Championships. As a cheer mom myself, there is truly nothing like watching these athletes leave it all on the mat during competition season, especially at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. Seeing Disney magic and school spirit come together is always such a show-stopping moment, and in your case, watching dance take center stage makes it even more exciting.

    Let’s jump right into your question. Tickets for the DII National School Spirit Championships are purchased directly through Varsity Spirit for event entry, so you will want to go through them for all ticket purchases. In my experience, I have been able to purchase event tickets without needing to buy park tickets, though it is always a good idea to double-check, since details can change from year to year.

    While you are visiting, be sure to carve out some time to visit EPCOT and enjoy the Festival of the Arts. This festival is included with your park ticket and is such a colorful and creative way to experience Epcot. It has delicious foods around the World Showcase that look like art, stunning artwork, and interactive displays. It truly feels like stepping into a piece of artwork. There are also so many great photo opportunities around the park. I highly recommend purchasing Memory Maker so you can capture every leap, pose, and magical moment. One of my favorite photos from last year made me feel like I stepped right into a scene from Mary Poppins. It was practically perfect in every way. 

    Michael, I hope this helps answer your question and gets you excited for an incredible competition and Disney experience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to visit us again.

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
