2. What types of Magic Your Way
vacation packages are there? |
|
|
|
You will always be able to select one of three types of packages:
- The
Magic Your Way Package –
Includes a Disney Resort stay at a Value, Moderate, Deluxe or Disney
Vacation Club Resort and a Magic Your Way Base Ticket that gives each member
of your travel party entry to one Theme Park every ticket day. You can then
add additional ticket Options.
- The
Magic Your Way Plus Dining Package – Once you've created the Magic Your
Way package that best meets your needs, add the Disney Dining Plan and

3.
What does the Magic Your Way Base Ticket include? |
|
|
|
With Magic Your Way Tickets, you can select how many days you want tickets for -
keeping in mind that the per-day price gets lower the longer you play. The basic
ticket is a Magic Your Way Base Ticket, which gives entry to one Theme Park a
day every day of your ticket, for each member of your travel party.
You can select three exciting Options to
customize each ticket to meet the needs and preferences of your entire travel
party or, when purchasing your tickets without accommodations, you can select
different tickets for each member of your travel party:
- Add the Park Hopper® Option to your ticket
to come and go through multiple theme parks on the same day as many times as
you like.
- Include the Water Park Fun & More Option*
(formerly the Magic Plus Pack Option) to add admission to your choice of
other Disney excitement like the
Water Parks, DisneyQuest® Indoor
Interactive Theme Park and
Pleasure Island!
- Select the No Expiration Option to ensure
any unused tickets days are available for your next visit.
Again, when purchasing tickets only, you can
arrange for all the members of your travel party to have the same tickets, or
for members of your travel party who may have different preferences or schedules
to have individually customized tickets.
* Water Parks subject to seasonal or weather
closures. Age restrictions may apply for access to certain facilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. Is there an expiration date on
the tickets? |
|
|
|
The Magic Your Way Base Tickets expire 14 days from their first use. However,
when you add the No Expiration Option to your ticket, you're free to come back
and take advantage of unused days at any time in the future. |
|
|
|
|
|
5. Are tickets transferable? Can
I give them to someone else to use the remaining days? |
|
|
|
Please note that all Magic Your Way Tickets are nontransferable and must be used
by the same person on any and all days. The person who uses the ticket for the
very first time must use the ticket for its entirety. Any tickets that are
transferred are in violation of this restriction and are invalid for admission. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. Can new tickets be upgraded
once they're purchased? |
|
|
|
Yes, the new Magic Your Way tickets can be upgraded
before your vacation begins, or within the 14-day window you have to use the
ticket after it's first used. Upgrades include extending the ticket length
(i.e., adding more days) or adding any combination of Options: the Park Hopper®
Option, the Water Park Fun & More Option*) and/or the No Expiration Option.
* Water Parks subject to seasonal or weather
closures. Age restrictions may apply for access to certain facilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. Is there a ticket that will
allow me to visit the Water Parks and other Walt Disney World® attractions? |
|
|
|
Yes. If you purchase the Water Park Fun & More Option* (formerly the Magic Plus
Pack Option), you can add admission to your choice of two fabulous
Water Parks,
DisneyQuest® Indoor Interactive Theme Park,
the wide variety of entertainment venues at
Pleasure Island, or
Disney's Wide World of Sports®
Complex.
The number of Water Park Fun & More* visits depends on the number of days in
your Magic Your Way Ticket:
- 1-3 days 2 visits
- 4-5 days 3 visits
- 6 days 4 visits
- 7 days 5 visits
* Water Parks subject to seasonal or weather
closures. Age restrictions may apply for access to certain facilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
8. Is there a ticket that will
allow me to visit more than one Park every day? |
|
|
|
Yes. If you purchase the Park Hopper® Option, you
can come and go through multiple Theme Parks on the same day as many times as
you like. |
|
|
|
|
|
9. What happens if I don't use
all the days on my ticket? |
|
|
|
Our Magic Your Way Base Tickets expire 14 days from their first use. However,
when you add the No Expiration Option to your ticket, you're able to come back
and take advantage of unused days at any time in the future. |
|
|
|
|
|
10. I'm planning to stay at Walt
Disney World® Resort for more than seven days. Is there a ticket that's longer
than the 7-Day Magic Your Way Ticket? |
|
|
|
If you expect to stay at Walt Disney World® Resort longer than seven days, you
can purchase a 10-day Magic Your Way Ticket, or your best value may be to
purchase a Seasonal Pass or Annual Pass. As a Passholder, you will enjoy even
more benefits. |
|

|
11. How do I redeem my Magic
Your Way vacation package features? |
|
|
|
Most Magic Your Way vacation package components are
fulfilled upon check-in at your Walt Disney World® Resort Hotel. You will either
receive a printed voucher or use your personalized Disney Resort ID card to
redeem meals, recreation and other package features. For the
Magic Your Way Plus Dining Package
and the Magic Your Way Premium
Package, a voucher may be mailed with your travel documents. |
|
|
|
|
|
12. If I arrive prior to the
standard Resort check-in time, can I get my tickets and other vacation package
components to start my vacation? |
|
|
|
Yes. Walt Disney World® Resort Hotels will issue your Magic Your Way vacation
package and purchased options when you arrive. If you take advantage of Disney's
Magical Express service, you can enjoy complimentary ground transportation to
and from the Orlando airport – and we'll take you directly to the Theme Park or
recreation facility of your choice and then deliver your luggage to your room. |
|
|
|
|
|
13. What is included with the
Disney Dining Plan? |
|
|
|
The Disney Dining Plan includes
one counter-service meal, one snack, and one table-service meal per person, per
night of your stay for everyone in your travel party ages 3+. For example, a
party of four that is staying for five nights would receive 20 counter-service
meals, 20 snacks, and 20 table-service meals to use during the current trip.

|
|
14. How does the Disney Dining
Plan work? |
|
|
|
Use your meals and snacks in any order and in any amount throughout your stay
until your total is completed. For example, on the day of arrival your travel
party of four could use four counter-service meals, and then on day two your
party could use four table-service meals, four counter-service meals, and two
snacks. You can continue using meals any way you like for the rest of your stay
until the number of meals allotted are completed.
Present your Key to the World card to your server
prior to ordering, so your server knows to charge meals to your Disney Dining
Plan. Applicable taxes and gratuities are already prepaid and included. Your
meal usage will be tracked electronically to your room reservation. Each time
you redeem meals or snacks from your Disney Dining Plan, your server or cashier
will provide you with a receipt showing your remaining balance.
