Available Tickets

Disney has several ticket options you can choose from. They can be very confusing. The primary ticket people buy is the Magic Your Way Ticket. It's Disney's primary admission media. If you buy a Disney package, you'll get a Magic Your Way pass.

The Disney World ticket prices used on this page are Disney's current, actual retail price before tax.

Magic Your Way

The most common Disney World ticket is the Magic Your Way ticket. This pass entitles you to one entry to one park per person per day for the length of the pass. These passes expire 14 days after the first use.

Disney World ticket prices become more economical the longer you stay. For example, a 3-day Magic Your Way ticket costs $212.00 for an adult. A 7-day ticket costs $228.00. That's only 16 more dollars for 4 days.

The moral to this story is take longer vacations.

Options

Here are to options you can add to your Magic Your Way pass.

Park Hopper

The Park Hopper option allows the bearer to have access to any of the theme parks for the length of the pass. This option costs $50.00 regardless of the length of the pass.

Annual Pass

An Annual Pass allows guests unlimited access to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom for a 365 day period from the date of activation. Passes can be purchased in advance and activated at the gate.

When is it economically feasible to get an annual pass?

If you are going to spend more than 10 days and take more than one trip in one 365 day period, you should look into an Annual Pass. A basic Annual Pass costs $519.00 per adult and $478.00 per child. You can renew your passes each year at a discount of $45.00 per adult and $35.00 per child.

This only works if you are taking more than one trip.

Premium Annual Pass

The Premium Annual Pass allows guests access adds the Water Park Fun and More options to the regular Annual Pass.

Caution: Disney reserves the right to revoke any Annual Pass that is presented by anyone other than the passholder that they have in their records. (DON'T BUY ANNUAL PASSES ON EBAY!!!)

Florida Residents

If you are a resident of the state of Florida, congratulation or condolences. Your ticket options are almost unlimited. You can buy special day passes, annual passes, after hours passes and more.

To get a look at the wide array of passes for Florida residents, check out Disney's Florida Resident passes.

Biometric Scan

For the last several years, Disney has required all pass users to match their fingerprints with their passes. (This is another reason you never should buy passes off of Ebay.) It's a good thing to make sure you have your own ticket.

Don't worry if you and the missus swap tickets. The fingerprints of tickets that were purchased at the same time will transfer.

Dad's Bottom Line

Disney World ticket prices have steadily increased ever since Uncle Walt got rid of the ticket books. It's a natural thing. Disney usually has a couple of price increases every year, so if you have made plans for a Disney World vacation, it's probably a good thing to go ahead and buy your tickets.
