If you're visiting the Orlando area for a convention, you also can buy discounted Disney tickets specifically for convention attendees.

Once your room is booked, buy your Disney World tickets online via Disney's website, or a licensed broker such as Undercover Tourist. If you decide to stay off-site, plan to bring or rent a car, as Disney theme parks are located miles away from all off-site hotels, and public transportation in the Orlando area is extremely limited. Disney offers dozens of on-site hotel properties aimed at a variety of budgets, and sometimes combo room/ticket packages can offer a good deal on a Disney World vacation, so look into those options before buying your tickets.

Definitely get the full 10-day ticket if you're buying the "no-expire" option, to lock in the lowest price per day.)īecause Disney tickets aren't tied to a specific date, you can - and should - wait to buy them until after you've booked your hotel. You'll have to call Disney at +1-40 to buy this option - it's no longer available online, or listed at the ticket booths. (For an additional charge of between $13 and $28 a day, you can add a "no expiration" option to your tickets, which can be nice hedge against future price increases if you're planning to return to Disney in the future. Disney tickets are not fixed to a particular date and can be used at any time, so long as you use all your days within 14 days of using the ticket for the first time. With all the ticket options Disney makes available, you'll definitely want to do your research - and buy your tickets - before you arrive at the park. So it makes the most financial sense to plan a Magic Kingdom visit in the context of a longer Walt Disney World vacation. And if you buy a 10-day ticket (the longest-duration ticket Disney sells online), the cost per day drops to just $31.80. But if you buy a 4-day ticket - one day per park - the cost drops to just $64 a day. A one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom will cost you $89. It's just one of four theme parks in the Walt Disney World Resort, and Disney's ticket structure encourages multi-day visits. Few people limit their Disney trip to the Magic Kingdom.
