Hello, Tara! It looks like you'll be at
The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few weeks! I'm so excited for you! I see that my fellow panelist,
Andrea, was able to help you with information about booking
Lightning Lane Passes together. I can help you with these paper tickets.
Just thinking about those old paper tickets makes me nostalgic! Those were the days! Of course, I love the convenience that
MagicBands and
MagicMobile Service provide, as well. The good news is, those
paper tickets don't expire! The individuals with the paper tickets will need
My Disney Experience accounts, and you'll want to link the tickets to their accounts so that you can make Lightning Lane reservations. You may be able to link the tickets on the
Walt Disney World website, but depending on the tickets, it may be necessary to call Walt Disney World at the number listed on
this page.
Once the tickets are linked to their accounts, you'll be all set. No cards are needed to experience any attractions, but you will need a
physical ticket, MagicBand, or MagicMobile on your phone to enter the theme parks and redeem Lightning Lane Passes. A Cast Member at any
Guest Services location will be happy to give you a physical card - known as a Key to the World card - to use. You can also stop by a ticket window or the Front Desk of your Disney Resort hotel.
The
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is underway, and I think your crowd will love it! The topiaries and gardens are the focus, but the Outdoor Kitchens are a highlight for sure! Check out this
Foodie Guide from Disney Parks Blog to help you plan your snack and beverage choices, because you simply can't try them all! Although my family thinks they're up to that challenge!
I hope this helps, Tara! And I hope you and your entire family have the most magical time! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to come back and see us here at
planDisney! We love helping set guests up for success in their Disney vacations!
Always Dreaming -
