Hi Nancy, welcome to planDisney!
Congratulations on securing your Walt Disney World Resort theme park tickets! You'll be visiting during one of my favorite seasons of celebration. The EARidescent hues of the
50th Anniversary Celebration mix well with the warm, metallic hues of fall. The tastes of the season are showcased at the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. The Canadian Cheddar and Bacon Soup from the Canada Marketplace is a personal favorite. Served with a pretzel roll, this offering gives me a taste of one of my favorite table service restaurants,
Le Cellier, without requiring an advance dining reservation.
When purchasing your Walt Disney World tickets
online, there are four options for delivery: email, U.S. Domestic Standard shipping, U.S. Domestic Express shipping, and International Express shipping. If you chose one of the shipping options, your admission cards should arrive shortly. In the meantime, you can still
link your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account (if that didn't happen automagically) and make
theme park reservations for each person for each park day using the number in your confirmation email.
If you selected the email option, you can pick up admission cards at any ticket or
Guest Relations window located outside the entrance to each park upon arrival. Be prepared to show your confirmation email, the credit card used for purchase, and the photo ID of the credit card holder. You should also make sure your tickets are linked in My Disney Experience and make theme park reservations as soon as you are able. If you'd prefer to bypass the ticket window, other
methods of theme park entry include a
MagicBand or
Disney MagicMobile pass. I'm keeping an eye out for
MagicBand+ designs before my October visit. My kids prefer not to wear a MagicBand so I use the
My Disney Experience mobile app to download their Disney MagicMobile passes to the digital wallet of my phone.
There are many ways to access the magic of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. We hope planDisney continues to be one of your planning tools - we're hEAR to help.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
