Disney Tickets Buying Tips
Your youngest can’t wait to see “Bug’s Life 3-D,” your middle child loves Port Orleans’ sea serpent waterslide and your teenager is a fan of the Animal Kingdom safari. You and your wife have never left the continent but look forward to experiencing it all at the Epcot world exhibition. Your senior citizen parents are amazed at all of Tomorrowland’s high-tech gadgets. At Disney World Orlando, there truly is something for everyone, and for as thrilling as it is, it’s also in many ways educational. Every minute detail is engineered toward making your vacation a dream-like adventure. The first step toward making this dream a reality is choosing which Disney tickets to buy!
Some travelers are coming to Orlando to visit family, ride swamp boats, hang out at the beach, go to Universal Orlando or participate in some other activity. Perhaps you’ve been to Disney before, many years ago, before Animal Kingdom was built. For these visitors, it might be practical to purchase a single-day ticket to one of Disney’s amazing theme parks. For those 10 and over, the day pass is $71 or two-day passes are $69.50/day.
Instead of paying $71 for a single day pass, why not spend $510 for an annual pass? At $149+/night resort accommodations, some vacationers prefer to lock down their own reliable piece of Disney real estate. Disney Vacation Club memberships start at $16,640, plus closing costs and annual dues. With this timeshare opportunity, you’re buying your own chunk of Disney, first and foremost, but you also have the flexibility of choosing to vacation with one of Disney’s partners as well, be it an African safari adventure, a Disney cruise or a London sightseeing venture. Vacation members get to stay in one of the Disney resort villas, get discounted Disney tickets and receive additional discounts on dining, shopping purchases and events.
There’s obviously a lot to see at Disneyworld. So much in fact, that you can stay for ten days and still not see everything! Park Hopper passes allow you to move freely between Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. However, there are other Disney tickets to consider. There are two Disney water parks, namely Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, with single tickets running $39/day. Also, your family can encounter all the latest high-tech games and virtual reality experiences at Disney Quest, for $37. Sports fans can buy Disney World of Sports Complex tickets for $10.28/day. For adults, Pleasure Island tickets will get you into bars, dance palaces, comedy clubs, adventurer clubs and concerts for $20.95.
Disney World’s official website offers some of the best Disney vacation planning options available. You may be able to spend countless hours picking and choosing options from various travel sites, but the bottom line is that Disney aims to help with all your travel needs and they’ve simplified the process, cutting costs for you like a travel agent would. There’s really no need to look elsewhere, when they can offer you an amazing “Magic Your Way” package deal starting at $52/day, per person. For this price, you’ll get six nights at a Disney value resort hotel and seven Disney tickets. You can also add a Disney dining plan, so you’ll know exactly what your expenses will be (aside from shopping) so there will be no unpleasant surprises along the way. You don’t have to be a millionaire to provide your family with the vacation of a lifetime!
