Hey Howdy Hey Wade and welcome to planDisney!
This summer is such an exciting time to visit the Walt Disney World Resort. When you arrive in mid-May, you will still have time to visit the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. This festival is amazing and is one of my favorites to attend, but before we get too far into why, let's talk about your Theme Park Tickets. Thank you for stopping by with your question about accessing your tickets. Let's discuss the various ways you can for your upcoming trip.
In most cases, your
Theme Park Tickets will be delivered electronically. As you are going through the steps to purchase tickets online through the Walt Disney World site, you will be asked to log into your
My Disney Experience account. You will then have the option to select the members of your party who will be joining you and with whom you want to assign the tickets. As long as you complete this step, you are closer to accessing your tickets.
Once onsite, you have 3 ways to access your tickets to get into the parks.
Magicband+,
Disney MagicMobile Service and Magic Cards are your options to consider. Magicband+ does involve the purchase of MagicBands either from the
DisneyStore site, once you get onsite at many locations at the resorts and parks, or if you have a vacation package booked, you should have the option on your My Disney Experience account to purchase them at a discount.
Disney MagicMobile Service is free to set up on your smart device you will have access to it when in the parks. Simply log onto your
My Disney Experience app, tap on the three horizontal lines on the bottom right of your screen and scroll to the "Account" menu. Look for the "Set Up MagicMobile Entry" and tap on that tile. You can set up the MagicMobile pass for you and the profiles of anyone else you manage. Once onsite, you will hold your smartphone up to the tap points to access your tickets. Super simple and free!
MagicCards are your final option. These are also free and available to pick up at the Ticket Window in front of the parks. Talk to a Cast Member about your tickets and make sure to have a confirmation email just in case they need to review the purchase with you. The Cast Members will then set you up with your cards that you will tap on the tap points to enter the parks.
During your visit, you will still have time for the Flower and Garden Festival in EPCOT. From the topiaries of our favorite characters through the parks, top-notch entertainment and delicious food and drink offerings to celebrate the season. You will want to make sure you plan some time in EPCOT for the full experience!
I hope this helps to give you your options to access your tickets for your upcoming trip. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical day,
Nick
