Hi Neil!
Welcome to planDisney.
I am always happy to answer questions from my fellow guests from the UK, and I'm excited to see you have your holiday booked for this Summer.
I have good news for you because our
14-Day Magic Tickets can be used as you please over 18 days. You do not have to start using these tickets on the start date of July 21st and your 14 days do not have to be used consecutively, so if you need a pool day or want to do some shopping at Disney Springs you can slot those days in wherever you want. Park reservations are not required with these tickets which enables us to be spontaneous with our plans.
As Disney
water parks are included in our 14-Day Magic Tickets it's worth noting that a visit to a water park doesn't count towards your 14-day admission to theme parks. For example, if you visit a water park and a theme park on the same day
you will use one of your 14-day park admissions; but if you visit a water park and
no theme park on the same day you will not use any of your 14-day park admissions. I hope that makes sense! Your 14 Days of theme park admissions are not reduced by any visits to water parks. This makes our Magic Tickets even better value, and enables us to visit the water parks as much as we want to during our holidays! (Subject to seasonal opening.)
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish, to clarify anything about your tickets, or anything else! We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
