Hi Amie, my very warmest welcome to planDisney, friend! It sounds like you're in the exciting planning stages for a magical adventure to Walt Disney World.
I double-checked with a Cast Member to confirm that from January 9, 2024, Guests who have purchased the date-based Magic Ticket (for either 7 or 14 days) will not need to make Park Reservations. When you buy a
Magic Ticket, you must select your desired start date, and (if after 9 January) you'll be good to go from that date. For other admission types, theme park reservations may be needed. You can check out the other welcome updates announced for Walt Disney World on
Disney Parks Blog - a great place to find the latest reliable news from Disney.
While on the theme of booking a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, I must mention the
2024 Early Booker Offer. It offers even more incentive to stay immersed in the magic at Walt Disney World. Choosing a Disney Resort hotel for our trips is so exciting. From the larger-than-life theming at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort to the upscale New England vibes in
Disney's Yacht Club, all offer a pixie-dusted stay.
Amie, I hope this information helps. We're here to help if you need anything further ahead of adventure in the Most Magical Place on Earth! Louise.
