When planning your Walt Disney World Vacation
the most expensive part of your vacation will be purchasing
your theme park tickets. In 2005, The Walt Disney World Company
rolled out “Magic Your Way” Tickets in hopes of
simplifying the ticket selection process. The hope was to
allow the visitors a greater opportunity to customize their
own vacation, what they have essentially done is make the
selection process much more difficult.
There are essentially three (3) main ticket categories for
you to choose from: Magic Your Way, Magic
Your Way Park Hopper, and Magic Your Way
Park Hopper with Water Park Options (also known as
the Ultimate Ticket). Each ticket category
has the option for you to purchase 1-7 day tickets and then
we also have the 10 day ticket. You may also make any ticket
have a non-expiration option (we suggest not purchasing the
non-expiration option until the end of your trip for it is
the same price to pre-purchase it as it is to add it at the
end)
Magic Your Way Tickets- This ticket is the
cheapest option for you and your family. It allows you to
visit one park each day, so if you purchased a 4 Day Magic
Your Way Ticket you may visit one park for each of the four
days.
Advantage- Since the parks at Walt Disney
World are so large it will take you at least a day to go through
each one, many guests have found this ticket option the best
for their buck.
Disadvantage- If the park you decide to go
to on a particular day is extremely busy you do not have the
option to jump to another park. The most popular park at Walt
Disney World is The Magic Kingdom (this is also the park with
the most rides). On extremely busy days you may have to wait
in line up to an hour and a half or more.
Magic Your Way Park Hopper- This ticket
is by far the most popular, for it allows you and your family
the most flexibility at a fair price. The ticket works the
same as the Magic Your Way Ticket, but you have the ability
to jump from one park to the other through out the day. You
may visit any of the four major theme parks (MGM Studios,
Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and/or EPCOT). Each of the
parks is connect by the Disney World Monorail system which
usually takes about 90 seconds or less to get from one park
to the next.
Advantage- This is the most popular ticket
at Disney World because it gives you the ability to hop from
park to park. If one park is extremely busy you may jump over
to another park. Also some parks are better to view at different
times during the day for example: Animal Kingdom is best to
see in the morning for the animals are much more active during
their morning feeding time, MGM Studios and Magic Kingdom
are great to visit in the afternoon, and ECPOT has the best
fireworks display each and every night. With the Park Hopper
Tickets, you and your family enjoy the best Disney World has
to offer each and everyday.
Disadvantage- By adding the park hopper option
it is an additional per ticket for large families this
can be quite an expense.
Magic Your Way Park Hopper with Water Park Options
(Ultimate Ticket) - This ticket is best ticket if
you are truly a Disney World Fanatic for it allows you to
see everything Disney has to offer and then some. This ticket
allows you and your family the advantages of the Park Hopper
tickets, but you also have the options to visit some of Disney
Worlds smaller theme parks such as: either one of the two
water parks, Disney Quest, Pleasure Island, or the Disney’s
Wide World of Sports. The more days you purchase the more
admissions you will receive to get into the smaller theme
parks; for example, if you purchased a 4 Day Ultimate Ticket
you will get 2 admissions to the smaller theme parks, the
5 day ticket you will receive 3 admissions.
Advantage- A great option for families wanting
to experience everything Disney World has to offer. It is
much cheaper to purchase these tickets than it is to purchase
each park individually.
Disadvantage- These are the most expensive
ticket options and you may find that you simply will not have
the time to experience all the benefits of these tickets.
