Welcome to planDisney, Rebecca! Wow, you are on the final countdown. I can only imagine the level of excitement in your house right now.
Seven days is the lowest available to purchase from the United Kingdom website. Hakuna Matata, it means no worries, as alternative options are available. If pre-booking is a must, you can buy as little as 2-day tickets from the
European site (in euros). Please know the standard tickets available do not include Park Hopper (available as an optional upgrade).
The second option is to buy single-day or shorter-dated tickets for Walt Disney World in the United States. Prices are subject to change and will vary depending on the Park you visit, the date, and various optional add-ons such as a Park Hopper Option. If you choose this option, I recommend buying tickets in the States online or by calling Guest Services rather than at the Main Entrance Ticket Booths so there is no availability disappointment at the gate.
If there is some flexibility in your dates, you could book
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This special event (separately ticketed) runs on 29 August, offering experiences such as
Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade and spellbinding overlays on some rides at the Magic Kingdom Park. You can usually enter the Park as early as 4 pm on the day of your ticket.
I hope this information helps, Rebecca, and whichever option you choose, I know you will enjoy an enchanting time at the Most Magical Place on Earth. I'm dropping in a video of
tips for Disney first-timers, created with fabulous panelists Elaine and Jonathan. It's worth a watch to get the most from your day. Enjoy every moment, Louise.
