Hello Gary,
As the current
UK Panelist here at planDisney, it really is such a delight for me to welcome a fellow Guest from the United Kingdom!
Gary, it sure sounds as if you've been doing some supercalifragilisticexpialidocious planning towards your August
summer holiday to the magic of Walt Disney World Resort. Like Olaf, I just love the summertime in the Sunshine State of Florida! But like our snowy friend, I also enjoy all the gloriously air-conditioned spaces too!
As you correctly mention, Guests are indeed required to have a valid
Disney Theme Park Ticket linked to their
My Disney Experience account, which in turn enables them to go ahead and make those all-important
Disney Park Pass reservations for their visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
It's always worth bearing in mind, during popular times of the year such as Christmas, Easter, and over US Public Holidays, that Disney Theme Park capacity can be reached. For your added information, it's easy to check the
current availability for Disney Park Pass reservations via this handy link.I'm happy to share with you Gary, that at present the booking Terms and Conditions of
Disney Magic Tickets do state that any ticket-only purchases are non-refundable. It's possible to read through all the
Walt Disney Travel Company Booking Terms via the downloadable PDF contained within this handy link.I hope that I've been able to provide a little insight for you today. If you should happen to have any further questions concerning a jolly holiday to the magic of Walt Disney World Resort, then please do pop back to planDisney where I'll always be happy to help.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
