Guide to Discount Disney World Tickets (2024)
Our guide to discount Disney World tickets offers money-saving info, pros & cons of Park Hoppers, tips for the best deals on tickets for now through October 2025 at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom. Plus, price increase predictions, which is likely to happen this fall or holiday season. (Updated March 20, 2024.)
If you’re wondering the best place to safely buy the discounted Walt Disney World multi-day tickets from an authorized reseller, we recommend Get Away Today, which offers an exclusive discount to readers of this site–enter promo code DTB23 at checkout for an extra $8 to $30 off per ticket! They have excellent deals on Central Florida theme parks, including Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld Orlando in addition to Disney’s theme and water parks.
This is one authorized sellers we recommend (see info about the other below), with the highlighted one changing based upon which currently has the best pricing. All three offer exceptional customer service and added flexibility, even superior to what Disney offers directly (call centers are currently short-staffed, making speaking with a person at Disney “challenging” to say the least). These low prices coupled with Get Away Today’s “Best Price Guarantee” makes them our recommended ticket seller.
Before we get going, let’s start with the latest Walt Disney World ticket news–there are several ticket deals currently available. First up, there’s the Discounted Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket. This offers Floridians the opportunity to buy a 4-day ticket for just $59 per day. These tickets are valid for use from April 2 to September 28, 2024, with an advance park reservation.
Much more significant is the 4-Park, 4-Day Walt Disney World Magic Ticket. This is available to the general public and offers admission starting at $99 per day admission without requiring reservations from April 2 to September 22, 2024. The big limitation here is that there’s no Park Hopping and you can only visit each park once, which is Walt Disney World’s way of redistributing attendance away from Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (the two busiest parks) and to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom (the least busy parks).
If you can get past those two limitations (our post above explains how to work around them–especially during Party Season), the 4-Park Magic Ticket offers tremendous savings. The exact amount of the discount varies due to date-based pricing, but we’ve found that it averages around $100 per person. You can buy this ticket directly from Walt Disney World, or available for an even deeper discount via Get Away Today!
Rounding out the deals, there’s a new offer for Universal Orlando that’s very similar to Walt Disney World’s 4-Park Magic Ticket. Enjoy four days of thrills at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure when you purchase Universal Orlando’s 2-Park Play 4 Days Promo Base Ticket, starting at $74 per day. With this, you can visit one park per day, upgrade to Park-to-Park tickets to visit multiple parks in the same day, or even upgrade to a 3-Park ticket to visit Volcano Bay.
You should also be aware that free FastPass+ has been replaced by paid line-skipping at Walt Disney World. We cover everything you need to know in our Guide to Genie+ at Walt Disney World & Lightning Lane FAQ. This system is totally different from its predecessor and can be overwhelming. Once you get past that rather steep and sometimes counterintuitive learning curve, it can be leveraged to your advantage.
You can only purchase Genie+ on a day-by-day basis during your Walt Disney World vacation. The latest wrinkle is that Genie+ now has per-park pricing, which is more expensive at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Not-so-coincidentally, we only recommend buying Genie+ for Magic Kingdom (almost always), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (usually), and EPCOT (sometimes). We seldom recommend purchasing Genie+ at Animal Kingdom–there’s a reason why it’s cheapest there; it’s usually unnecessary.
With so many different park ticket options, this might already seem overwhelming. In this WDW park ticket guide, we present the pros and cons of different tickets so you can make an informed decision about which options are best for your family. We’ll break down everything you need to know about the complexities of Walt Disney World tickets.
We sort through the different options and give you recommendations on what types of tickets are best for you, plus where you can save money on Walt Disney World tickets. (If you’ve come looking for info on discount Disneyland tickets, you’ve come to the wrong place–but we do have an article with Tips for Saving Money on Disneyland Tickets, too.) By the end of this post, you’ll know way more than you ever thought there was to know about park tickets!
With that out of the way, let’s start with the latest ticket news & rumors…
2024 Ticket Price Increases
Typically, Walt Disney World raises ticket prices in February or October–sometimes both. Thus far in 2024, ticket prices have not increased, nor did they go up last October for regular tickets. Instead, the company raised rates on just about everything else, and also introduced per-park and date-based pricing for Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes, which effectively amounted to an indirect increase to the normal price of admission.
The good news is that prices for current tickets haven’t increased since December 2022, which is the first time in the 15 years we’ve been tracking prices when there was not an annual increase. The bad news is that Walt Disney World has already increased ticket prices for 2025. But the good-within-bad news is that, unlike normal, this did not apply to tickets for 2024. It was a really weird move, as ticket price increases normally take effect immediately.
There’s a chance that Walt Disney World raises prices in October 2024, but we’re skeptical. Annual Pass prices will probably increase then, but not regular admission. It would defy logic to increase prices for 2025 in Winter 2024…and then wait until only 3 months are left in the year to increase prices on the remainder of 2024 dates. Not only that, but the big ‘price increase day’ always results in a wave of negative headlines, and Disney usually does everything at once to avoid dragging out the bad press.
What’s more likely is that prices go up again in early 2025. Walt Disney World is once again tweaking things with Lightning Lane pre-booking, and our guess is that will require changes to admission options. With that, price increases seem likely, which might be why Walt Disney World has not been nearly as aggressive in increasing prices.
If the last three years have taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. Subscribe to our free email newsletter for all of the latest updates as we hear more rumors or official announcements about ticket prices.
Regardless, if you have a Walt Disney World trip planned for now through October 2025, we recommend buying tickets sooner rather than later to lock-in current prices (beyond the scope of this post, but we’d advise doing the same with your hotel room). There will likely be one price increase between now and the end of 2025, with 2 price increases in that timeframe being a possibility.
With that said, this is not as imperative as it used to be. A couple of years ago, Walt Disney World was raising price twice annually, meaning that you could ‘beat’ as many as 3 price increases by buying tickets early. That amounted to locking-in huge savings, but Disney has since (thankfully) slowed down on its price increases. There’s still zero downside to purchasing tickets in advance–but there’s also not as much upside.
Where to Buy the Cheapest Disney Tickets
As we mentioned at the beginning, to save money on multi-day Walt Disney World tickets, we recommend buying from Get Away Today, which is an authorized discount Disney ticket broker that typically has the lowest prices on legitimate park tickets. You can order tickets for use now through October 2025.
Another excellent ticket seller we recommend is Undercover Tourist. These two typically compete with each other on prices, and are usually within a few dollars of one another. Which is better often depends upon the ticket type and when you’re searching. (Like airfare, ticket prices fluctuate, especially as the various reputable sellers try to beat one another on pricing.)
After purchasing, you’ll receive confirmation codes for My Disney Experience via email, which enables you to easily link the tickets to your My Disney Experience account. This also means that the tickets are compatible with MagicBands, which you’ll receive with your Walt Disney World hotel reservation; you can also purchase special edition MagicBands in the parks.
There aren’t many Disney ticket sellers that are actually legitimate, so be careful if you find a deal elsewhere. The sellers we mention in this article are the ones that have the best reputations and offer the biggest discounts. If you find a better deal somewhere else, well…you know what they say about when something sounds too good to be true!
Authorized discount Disney ticket brokers are great ways to save money on park tickets over gate prices, but not every third party ticket broker is reliable and trust-worthy. Most places selling discount Disney tickets are scams. Buying tickets on eBay or Craigslist is about as good of an idea as buying Louis Vuitton purses on a street corner.
Disney tickets are non-transferrable–they are tied to your fingerprint once partially used. If you get burned by these sellers with a partially-used or counterfeit ticket, Disney won’t have sympathy. You’ll have to pay full price for tickets at the park gates. Not exactly the best way to start the day on a Disney vacation!
The good news is that there are several legitimate, authorized Walt Disney World ticket sellers that can be trusted. In addition to Get Away Today, we also recommend Undercover Tourist. Both are highly reputable and offer great customer service. (Beyond this trio, there are other trustworthy third party sellers, but we can’t vouch for any of them.)
If you’re comparing prices, remember to compare apples to apples: Disney prices don’t include the Florida 6.5% tax, whereas prices from the sellers we recommend do include tax into the final price you pay. Sorry bold that all, but we get so many comments from people who miss that, and wonder why the discounts aren’t as good as promised. Also make sure you’re comparing Park Hopper tickets to regular tickets or not. Lots of people make mistakes in not comparing the same tickets to one another.
Additionally, you might be eligible for discount tickets through your employer or a membership program like TicketsAtWork that can save even more than the alternatives. The only downsides are that some of these tickets require more advance notice for processing, and that what you receive is a ticket voucher (it still can be linked to My Disney Experience); you will need to pick up the actual ticket when you arrive at Walt Disney World.
Moving on, let’s take a look at which type of ticket options are best for you…
Which Tickets to Buy?
Sometimes people ask which ticket is our favorite for first-time visitors to Walt Disney World, and it really depends upon how long you’re visiting. In our Walt Disney World Vacation Planning Guide, we recommend most first-time visitors take a 6-8 trip.
Assuming you are going this route, you probably won’t spend every moment in the park. You’ll want a rest day in the middle to spend recovering poolside, and maybe a shopping day (or morning) at Disney Springs. With that said, we recommend buying a ticket that is 1-2 days shorter than the duration of your vacation–unless you’re visiting for 4 days or fewer, in which case you should purchase a ticket for every day. Always get at least a 4-day ticket. Ideally, get nothing less than a 5-day ticket.
Meaning, if your vacation is 8 days, we recommend the 6-day or 7-day ticket. If you are visiting for 6 days, get the 5-day ticket. In our experience, a 6-day Walt Disney World vacation is about the sweet spot for first-timers. That means either a 4-day or 5-day ticket is going to be a smart bet for most people reading this. (If you have more time, that’s excellent!)
Are Park Hopper Tickets Worth it?
The Park Hopper add-on allows you to visit multiple parks in the same day. You can bounce around the parks and maximize your time in the parks. Some guests can skip the Park Hopper option: particularly those with small children and those who won’t stay out late.
On the other hand, Park Hopping can be really beneficial if you want to revisit favorite attractions or head over to a certain park for the evening for dinner. With the exception of Magic Kingdom, you won’t need to spend multiple full days in any park, and the ability to bounce around is a great solution allowing you to spend additional partial days in the other parks.
Another benefit of the Park Hopper option is spending more hours per day in the theme parks. Since each park has different opening and closing hours, getting a Park Hopper is a good way to extend your day (particularly in the off-season when parks close earlier) or spend more time in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom often closes later than the other parks, so you squeeze a couple more hours out of day by starting your day in Animal Kingdom (for example) and heading to Magic Kingdom once Animal Kingdom closes.
If you’re staying in an eligible on-site Walt Disney World resort, you’ll also potentially need the Park Hopper option to take advantage of Extended Evening Hours. This perk is incredibly advantageous, as crowds are usually low during these nighttime hours. If you don’t buy the Park Hopper option, you’ll need to start your day in the park offering Extended Evening Hours in order to take advantage. See our Guide to Extended Evening Hours at Walt Disney World for taking advantage of this perk, eligibility, and more.
Because of these two things, we generally recommend purchasing the Park Hopper option. While it does cost more, if you’re buying multiple day tickets, you might be surprised to learn that the extra cost is insignificant. Currently, a discounted 7-day Walt Disney World Adult Park Hopper Ticket will cost around $650 after tax, with some dates costing more and some costing less. Obviously, that’s a lot of money.
However, compare it to a 1-day Park Hopper ticket directly from Disney, which can cost over $180 after tax. For less than the price of three 1-day tickets, you can purchase a 7-day discounted Park Hopper. That 7-day ticket works out to being less than $95/day!
Other multi-day tickets offer similar savings, so be sure to look at the prices of other multi-day Walt Disney World tickets and do some comparison shopping to see just how much you can save. Walt Disney World advertises that “the more you play, the less you pay per day” and this is definitely true.
What About Park Hopper Plus Tickets?
The Park Hopper Plus ticket option (formerly “Water Park Fun & More”) offers everything included with Park Hopper Tickets mentioned above, plus access to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, and Winter Summerland or Fantasia Gardens mini golf.
With Park Hopper Plus tickets, you are eligible for the same number of “Plus” admissions as the number of days on your ticket. Meaning that if you have a 7-day Park Hopper Plus ticket, you also have 7 entrances the water parks, mini golf, etc. (Be mindful of operating schedules, as not all of these options are open year-round.)
Whether this ticket is right for you really depends upon whether you want to do any of the parks beyond the 4 main theme parks. If you want to do one of the other things even once or twice, you come out ahead to purchase the Park Hopper Plus Tickets. We love both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, and enjoy both of the mini golf courses (albeit less so than the water parks) and recommend this ticket option to anyone who will be spending 6 days or more at Walt Disney World.
What About the Water Park and Sports Option?
The Water Park and Sports Option is available as an add-on to select Walt Disney World theme park tickets for $70 plus tax. This option allows guests to visit one theme park each day, plus various water park or sports experiences that same number of times.
The Water Park & Sports Option is valid at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf, or Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf. (Again, pay attention to operating schedules, as not all of these options are open year-round.)
Basically, this ticket is the non-park hopper version of the aforementioned Park Hopper Plus ticket option. The analysis for the Water Park and Sports Ticket Option is identical to the Park Hopper Plus, but for those who only want to do one theme park per day. We generally favor the Park Hopper Plus option as it offers great flexibility and the upgrade cost to that is insignificant, but that’s just us.
Affiliation Discounts
If for some reason you don’t want to buy discounted Disney tickets from Get Away Today or Undercover Tourist, there’s a possibility you qualify for some other form of discount. The most common discounts are: Florida resident, military/department of defense, corporate or “club” discounts, Disney Vacation Club, and sometimes Walt Disney World ticket discounts for Europeans.
Of these discounts, military Disney ticket discounts are typically the best, followed by AAA discounts. AAA discounts are only offered through local offices and tax isn’t included in their price quotes. Note that Disney ended its relationship with AAA, so there are no additional perks for buying Disney tickets through AAA anymore.
AAA discounts typically are not as good as the prices offered by the discount ticket brokers, but military or department of defense discounts are always better. The “Stars and Stripes” promotion (only available to select members of the armed forces and department of defense) will usually annihilate what is offered by third party discount ticket brokers or AAA. This promo isn’t always offered, so call Shades of Green at 888-593-2242 prior to ordering tickets to see whether it’s available for your stay.
Another option available to some people is TicketsAtWork. This is a members-only site that partners with certain corporations to offer company employees exclusive discounts and special offers for theme parks, attractions, Broadway shows, special events, hotels, concerts, and movie tickets. In other words, Tickets at Work is a “perk” that’s available only to employees of certain corporations.
Tickets at Work most definitely is legitimate. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a price comparison to Tickets at Work because we don’t work for companies partnered with Tickets at Work, nor do we know anyone who does. Anecdotally, we’ve heard that in some cases, Tickets at Work offers prices that are slightly better. In other cases, their prices are worse. We’ve also been told that shipping can take 2-3 weeks with Tickets at Work, which could be a deal-breaker if you’re trying to make reservations in a hurry. Check with your company’s HR department to see if your company is a Tickets at Work partner.
Now, let’s cover one other possible Walt Disney World park ticket options…
Florida Resident Ticket Discounts
If you live in Florida (and have proof of residence–DVC membership does not count), there are occasionally discount 2-day to 4-day Walt Disney World ticket offers from January until April and Summer through September each year during times when attendance is historically light. For Floridians, these are the best deals of the year–better than anything else on this list.
The current Florida resident ticket deal is discussed at the top of this post. The downside of this deal is that it’s only valid Mondays through Fridays, but the upside is that there’s a discount at all during the popular Christmas season. Many years, there’s nothing at all this time of year!
What About An Annual Pass?
Walt Disney World resumed new Annual Pass sales late last month. Everything you need to know about buying an AP is covered in our Walt Disney World Annual Pass FAQ. All tiers of APs (Incredi-Pass, Sorcerer Pass, and Pirate Pass, and Pixie Dust Pass) are still available for purchase. However, Walt Disney World has already warned that tiers are likely to sell out soon. Note that unless you’re a Floridian or DVC member, you’re only eligible to purchase the Incredi-Pass.
This AP can make sense if you’re taking at least two trips to Walt Disney World in the span of 365 days. Some fans use APs for this specific purpose, taking week-long trips during the Halloween or Christmas season each year, and essentially putting one of those trips at the beginning of the window and another at the end of the window. (For example, doing the second week of December 2024 and the first week of December 2025.)
If you’re doing two week-long trips, the Incredi-Pass will work out in your favor. You’re looking at 7-day tickets that will be over $700 each, adding up to more than the cost of the Incredi-Pass on their own. The story is similar if you’re taking 3 shorter trips in a 365-day stretch. Let’s say you’re doing three long-weekend trips of 3-days each. Individually, those tickets would cost you over $460 each, totaling more than the cost of the Incredi-Pass.
Where the math gets complicated is for those planning two trips in a 365-day stretch with a combined total of 10 or fewer days. In this scenario, the cost of your tickets will actually end up being around $75 less than an Incredi-Pass. However, the AP also offers discounts on merchandise & dining, which alone will easily add up to $75 saved over 10 days in the parks. Beyond that, it opens up access to the aforementioned superior resort discounts or, if you won’t use those because you’re staying off-site, free parking at the theme parks.
So either way you slice it, two trips totaling at least 10 days over the course of 365 days is the likely breakeven point for the Incredi-Pass. That’s going to vary from person-to-person, though. We’ve heard from people who could make less work and others who couldn’t justify APs until 11 days.
However, that’s more or less the general rule. If you’re traveling more than that, it’s easy to justify Walt Disney World APs. Less than that, and it becomes much more difficult. If it’s a close call, we’d recommend purchasing passes. The money-saved via discounts and other perks, such as freebies and access to exclusive events like ride previews, does add up and is difficult to account for in your initial calculation.
Conclusion
Hopefully the above info helped you determine which Walt Disney World park ticket you should buy and how to save money on those tickets. If you still have some questions, here are some general rules:
- Thanks to very good discounts, our top recommendation for Walt Disney World is the 5-day to 7-day Park Hopper ticket, all of which provide excellent savings.
- We recommend the Park Hopper option for most people, but if you definitely won’t visit more than one park per day, you can save additional money by skipping the Park Hopper option.
- By purchasing via an authorized ticket broker, you can make park reservations ahead of time. If you buy tickets once you arrive to Walt Disney World, you’re at a disadvantage in two ways: you pay more for tickets and you cannot make park reservations in advance.
- Do not consider an Annual Pass unless you will visit Walt Disney World for roughly 15+ days in a 365 day window, or will take multiple shorter trips.
- If you are planning a vacation and definitely going to Walt Disney World before October 2025, it’s always best to buy tickets as far in advance as possible to lock-in current prices and avoid future increases.
It’s important to know that my suggestions are based on our preferences, and they may not work for you. It’s really best to read through this and then apply it to your own circumstances by looking at your own schedule and preferences, and determining what type of tickets are best for you. Finally, head to Get Away Today and buy the appropriate tickets at the best discount (using promo code DTB23 at checkout).

Hi! I tried to go to Parksavers.com and the “DISNEYTOURISTBLOG” promo code didn’t work. Is there another code to try? Thanks!
Get Away Today says they email a voucher that you’ll use to pick up your tickets at Disney World. Is it necessary to pickup the physical ticket at one of the parks? Or are you all set once you link the ticket to your My Disney Experience account?
Just link the ticket to your MDE and assign to the people who will use it. They purchase the tickets directly from Disney, and forward the confirmation email to you. I just bought tickets from them, and it went flawlessly.
Thanks!
Hello Tom,
I’m from the Netherlands. We’re going on a holiday to Florida next april. I’m trying to visit the site Get Away Today, but every time my access is denied… Is it because I’m nog trying to visit is from the us?
I really want to know what the price is for 2-day base ticket for 3 persons.
Can you help me?
greetings Jan
My family and I are planning a trip to Disney World in Sept 2020. I have priced 3 day ticket prices and have found Sam’s Club has the best price. We will purchase tickets soon. Tom, if you hear any update about ticket prices going up, please let us know and hopefully we can get the current rate before prices go up.
Thanks
If you buy a 4 day park ticket pass from Get Away Today, do you still have the option to book your Fast Passes 60 days out if you are staying in one of the Disney Resorts?
Yes, have bought from them several times. It links to your MDE just as if you purchased from Disney direct.
Thanks for the tip on Get Away Today! Using the link you provided I found that they definitely had the best price for Disney World tickets. I’ve purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist many times in the past. Undercover Tourist has great customer service and good prices but there is one big limitation that I found with them – Disney will not let you change a ticket purchased via Undercover Tourist over the phone or online. You have to go to Orlando in person to do so – which is a problem if you decide to add days onto your trip. While you can always add the days to your ticket once you’re at Disney, you won’t be able to make FastPass reservations in advance.
Getaway Today somehow bought the ticket directly from Disney in my name. It took a couple of days longer to process but I love having the added flexibility of being able to modify my ticket if I need to. This is the best of both worlds (best price and most flexibility). Thanks!!
I’m about to book for early 2021. When do you think I should buy my WDW tickets? All above relates to up to Dec 2020. Even though I’m in the UK can I still buy from the websites you mentioned ? I don’t want to book my tickets through Virgin just because it’s convenient if I can save by buying elsewhere!
Also I’m Not staying at a Disney hotel, if I did do you get priority to book fast pass or can everyone book fast pass from the same time?
Sorry…I’m still to read your ‘fast past’ Page!
Thanks ! 🙂
If my calculations are correct, here are the comparative ticket costs for a trip in early December 2020 (including taxes).
Through Disney: Adult: $570 Child: $551
Get Away Today: Adult: $548 Child: $531
Undercover Tourist: Adult: $526 Child: $516
Park Savers: Adult: $524 Child: $506 (with the DISNEYTOURISTBLOG code)
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks.
Oops… should have noted that the figures above are for a 5-day hopper.
going to wdw first week of june with 9 adults and 8 children. 4 of them are under 3. not staying on site . plan is to get a 3 day pass and go every other day so it will be easier on the kids. debating if a 4 day pass would be better. figured we wouldn’t go to epcot. any thoughts or suggestions?
sorry for repeat. i thought first one didn’t go through
Have ya’ll never been to Disney? If not, I would recommend the Park Hopper for the adults and children and the single park per day for the ones under 3. And I would definitely get more days for everyone. I’ve taken my daughter and at least 1 or 2 of her friends several times over the years and the experience is different with each age. But when she was very little, it worked out better for us to plan a morning in the park and come back to the hotel/condo for the afternoon when they were tired and then go back the next morning when everyone was fresh and excited again. The tiny tots just won’t be able to go for a full day whether you’ve planned 3 or 30 days even with a break day in between. And it was always nice to get there early with them, meet the characters and ride their rides then come home for lunch and the afternoon at the pool. Then if there was anything special we hadn’t done that morning, we could always go back for the evening when lines got shorter and the nighttime shows were going on. In short, more shorter days worked out so much better than fewer long days. Also, if you look at the ticket packages, the more days you add, the better deal you get. A typical deal is ‘buy 3 get the 4th day free” on the disney website.
The only value of a Park Hopper when they were young was the option to change plans on the fly if the kids got bored. My kids were unpredictable that way and I learned the expensive lesson that what interested them when we were planning the days’ ‘must do’ had ZERO value for them after we got there. Example, the live animals at Animal Kingdom fascinated them one year but not a spark of interest the next trip. Once live action Lion King was done, so were they and we basically wasted a full day ticket when a Hopper would have let us go back to ride Winnie the Pooh again at Magic Kingdom.
We, the adults, also took turns staying with the kids on the afternoons and evenings so the other adults could go back to the park with their park hopper ticket.
oh wow! thanks so much for your response. you have given me a lot to think about
we will be going in june with 9 adults and 8 children. because 3 of the kids will be 3 years old. i plan on using 3 day passes. we are staying off disney because we are able to get free lodging from travel points. i was wondering what you thoughts are for what type of ticket to get. we don’t plan on going to epcot and thought we would do a pool day between each park day. thanks for the feedback
Dude. Seriously. Is Get Away Today really legit? Are those regular tickets, same as anywhere else? Can they be upgraded to APs? Because their price for a 10 day park hopper is about $30 less than any other discount ticket.
They’re absolutely legit. I haven’t personally upgraded one of their tickets to an AP, but I don’t see why you couldn’t.
They started as (and still primarily are) a Disneyland-centric company, and I believe are the largest (or maybe second now to Costco) seller of Disneyland travel. It seems like there’s a bit of competition between Get Away Today and Undercover Tourist as each tries to break into the other’s market, and consumers have benefited from some great deals on tickets via each.
Awesome. It also looks like the prices are a tad better with your link, so I will be double sure to use that.
I looked on Disney’s website and cannot find anything on the mid-day magic tickets still being offered. I was under the impression that they were only being offered through the middle of December of 2019. Do you know if they’ll bring it back for 2020?
Thanks,
Sarah
Ah shoot, you’re right!
I don’t know if they’ll bring it back, but my guess is that if it returns at all, it’ll roughly coincide with convention season (September-November).
4 day theme park with park hopper over spring break using tickets at work, email delivery, is $2,014. This is a savings of $166 over Get Away Today. 😉
Has anybody used get away today for tickets? Has anybody had any problems with them? I can save over $100 with them but I want to make sure it is legit and there won’t be any difficulties. Thanks
We used them a couple of years ago and it was just fine. No problems as all
I am just interested in covering magic Kingdom.
Is there a option of single day discount tickets.
Thanks
Can the tickets purchased from Get Away Today for WDW be linked in our My Disney Experience? I don’t want to miss out on the advanced fastpass. Thanks!
To Stacy. YES! You should have received a confirmation # & you just go to my Disney experience, click on link tickets & put in the confirmation # & you will be all set!
Can you book your Fastpasses 60 days out if you are staying on property when you buy these tickets from a broker like Get Away today? Or do you only get the 30 days?
Thanks!
What are your thoughts on the 4 Park Magic Tickets if we only plan to visit one park per day? The cost is so much less for our family.
I was wondering the same thing!
I know you asked this question over a month ago, but in case you are still wondering it’s an excellent deal. We used the 4 park magic ticket a few years ago when it was first introduced. It’s a great bargain if you plan to visit all 4 parks. It allows you to visit one park per day. You can come and go out of the park you choose for that day, so if you want to go back to your room for a midday nap that isn’t a problem. I’m really surprised they still offer this ticket because it was originally rolled out as a way to divert traffic from the Magic Kingdom. With Pandora and Star Wars open at AK and DHS I would think that would increase the value of this ticket because those parks are must visits now. Maybe they are trying to up traffic at Epcot as it undergoes some renovations. Anyway I highly recommend this ticket.
Did your promo code expire? I just tried to use it and it says promo code invalid 🙁
I tried to buy tickets online and it had promo code invalid; I called (or rather had them call back) and they used a price match to give me the promo discount. If you still want to buy the tickets contact them .
I have access to TIckets at Work. It is about $40 cheaper for a 3-day pass with park hopper than Get Away Today.
Thanks!
did you check with sales tax? Tickets at work initial price does not include tax.
When I checked the price for 7 day hopper was about the same after tax and promo.
This may have been asked before, but I didn’t see it.
Can you buy multiple day base tickets and use 2 tickets in 1 day to visit 2 parks?
for example if we want to go to park 7 days can we buy 8 day base and use the extra day to visit 2 parks in 1 day? I think this is cheaper than doing the 7 day hopper.
I have always done hopper, but if there is a better way I am open to it.
This is what we did a few years ago, but with young kids, didn’t end up doing any park hopping so don’t know if we would have actually been able to use 2 separate tickets in one day. Would love to hear from someone who was successful or unsuccessful with this.
We were unsuccessful with this recently (September 2019). Bought 6-day base tickets. At the end of the trip, we’d only used 5. Headed to DAK that last night (after visiting Studios that morning) expecting to use our last day ticket for admission, but were turned away at the gate. Spent over an hour in line at guest services, explained our situation to a CM, who was kind enough to upgrade us (at no cost) to park hopper tickets. I felt ridiculous afterward, because I should have known better. If you are trying to park hop, which is exactly what visiting more than one park in any given day is (no matter how you slice it), you have to buy a park hopper ticket. Or hope that guest services sympathizes with you…as Tom says, YMMV.
