Welcome Home, Feline! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney. It's never too early to plan your next Disney adventure, and I'm happy to offer some assistance to help all of the pieces of a practically perfect vacation come together!
Purchasing theme park tickets for
Walt Disney World Resort is a breeze. I recommend logging into your
My Disney Experience account and completing the transaction there. This way, your tickets will automatically be viewable in the My Disney Experience
app and ready to use. My tip for saving on your tickets--I purchase discount
Disney Gift Cards throughout the year from our local discount department store and apply them to our ticket purchase. I then of course spend the money saved on a must-have new souvenir or a week's worth of DOLE Whip!
Feline, on certain occasions you may purchase a ticket through a specific event organizer or third party--this just adds an extra step to the process. We head south for our daughters' dance team championships at the
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex each year and purchase the event tickets through the host company. I then link the tickets to My Disney Experience so I can pull them up for easy entry! Here's how it works.
If you purchase tickets elsewhere, you will receive a Will Call confirmation number or a Ticket ID number. To link the tickets to your My Disney Experience account, navigate to "My Plans", followed by "Park Tickets". Next, select the "Link Tickets" option and follow the prompts to link the tickets, assign them to the Guests using them, and confirm that all of your (Donald) ducks are in a row!
Don't forget that
Disney Vacation Club Members may also purchase the Sorcerer Pass, which is a discounted version of the Walt Disney World
Annual Pass. It's a great choice if you plan to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth multiple times in a year--I love that journey for you! DVC Members also enjoy a discount on tickets to the
Disney Water Parks (subject to change), as well as other tours and experiences. Be sure to take a gander at the
Member Benefits site so you're familiar with all of the latest and greatest deals and discounts!
I hope this information is helpful for you, Feline! If you have additional questions as you're prepping for your next trip "Home", please reach out directly anytime and I'll be delighted to help.
Stay Magical!
