My warmest welcome to planDisney, Simon. Thank you so much for bringing your question here. As a fellow U.K. resident, I have used the
Walt Disney World Travel Company many times and highly rate their top-notch service.
As you have booked through the Walt Disney World Travel Company, I think it's likely you booked the
Magic Ticket available to U.K. residents. This Magic Ticket does include
Park Hopper and many other benefits. You can always check what ticket was purchased in
My Disney Experience under Tickets and Passes. It will not specify Park Hopper in the title, but if you have purchased a Magic Ticket, please rest assured that the Park Hopper perk is included.
Contact the Disney Experts if you know that you purchased a different ticket. They should be able to clarify your ticket benefits and help you upgrade if needed.
There are
many advantages as a Disney Resort hotel guest- beyond staying immersed in the magic. Early Theme Park Entry is my personal favourite perk. We can take advantage of our jet lag to get into the Parks early when it's usually much quieter. Win-win.
Simon, I hope this information helps, and if you need anything further ahead of your Walt Disney World adventure, I'm here to help. Enjoy the magic! Louise
