Hiya, Brian! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for bringing us your question!
Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park tickets are, without a doubt, one of my favorite things to talk about. I also love that your son is purchasing those tickets for you and your family... what a sweetheart! If you're still in the early stages of the planning process, I would highly encourage you to make plans to visit in September. If you'd like to see the Fall decorations, celebrate Halloween with your favorite Disney pals, and taste your way around the world during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, that's the perfect month to do so!
I went off track for a little bit there... sorry! Obviously, before you can even start thinking about all those magical extras that you want to experience during your vacation, you'll need to have the ticketing situation under control. Brian, I am pleased to let you know that, as a U.S. resident, the current maximum amount of days that you can purchase tickets for is 10 days. This means that your son shouldn't run into any trouble when trying to purchase 8-day
Theme Park tickets for your family.
Keep in mind that, just like there's a limit on Theme Park ticket days that you may purchase at one time, there is also a limit on the amount of
Theme Park reservations that you can hold. As of February 2022, each day-ticket Guest can hold a maximum of 10 Park Pass reservations at any given moment. Pro tip: make your Theme Park reservations as soon as you've secured your tickets!
Brian, I hope that my answer was helpful! Please don't hesitate to come back here if you need any more help.
See you real soon,
Ana Paula
