Hello there, Debra!
You are visiting Walt Disney World Resort during one of my favorite times of the year! The
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival dates haven't been announced yet, but I suggest checking back in the future to see if the festival will overlap with your trip. If so, you'll want to take advantage of the delicious treats at the Outdoor Kitchens and see the beautiful topiaries around EPCOT's World Showcase.
Also, good news! You can access your tickets a few different ways, but the default delivery option for tickets is mobile delivery. Once you've purchased your tickets and you see the tickets in your My Disney Experience account, you can enter the theme parks by either:
- Setting up a Disney MagicMobile pass on the My Disney Experience app. At the park entrance, you can scan your Disney MagicMobile pass using your mobile device to enter.
- Purchasing a MagicBand and linking it to your My Disney Experience account. You can scan the MagicBand to enter.
- Visiting a Walt Disney World ticket window with your ticket confirmation email, card used to complete your purchase, and photo ID to pick up a ticket card.
Alternatively, if you haven't finished your ticket purchase yet, you can set your delivery option on the checkout page to send a physical ticket to your mailing address. These are all great options, but my preference is the MagicBand. Although I'm organized while planning Walt Disney World Resort vacations, my purse is another story. The MagicBand saves me from rummaging through my purse to easily make a purchase, unlock my Disney Resort hotel room, and check in at Lightning Lane entrances.
I hope this answers all of your questions, Debra! With these "bare necessities" in hand, you'll be able to "forget about your worries and your strife" on your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Please come back
if you have other questions. Best wishes,
Melanie
