DISNEY'S MAGIC YOUR WAY PACKAGES
With four theme parks and two
water parks, Walt Disney World can be a complicated destination. What
type of pass should you buy?
"Magic Your Way" at
Walt Disney World
This new approach to ticket-buying comes with several options.
Magic Your Way Base Ticket
Choose the number of days you want tickets for, and visit
one theme park per day. The per-day price gets lower with more
days: for ex., $59.75 for a 1-day ticket, $29/day for a 7-day ticket.
Park Hopper Option
The Park Hopper option lets you come and
go through multiple theme parks on the same day (for the entire
length
of your ticket.) Cost is a flat $35 per ticket, regardless of number
of days.
Magic Plus Pack Option
This option
adds visits to other Walt Disney World attractions: choose from
the two Water Parks,
DisneyQuest®
Indoor Interactive Theme Park, and more. Cost is $45 per ticket, and
the number of "plus"
admissions varies
from 2 to 5 depending on the length of the ticket.
No Expiration
Option
The Magic Your
Way Base Tickets expire 14 days from their first use. When you add the
No Expiration
Option,
you can come back for unused days at any time
in the future. Cost varies with the length of
your
ticket: for ex.,$10 is for a 2-day ticket, $55 for a 7-day ticket.
Magic Your Way Package plus Dining Option
For each night of your resort stay, each family member gets
a combination of meals and snack, at a choice of
more than 100 restaurants in the Walt Disney World parks and hotels.
See details, below.
Magic Your Way Premium Package
This deluxe package
includes breakfast, lunch and dinner per person, plus options
such as theme park
tours or
admission to the Cirque du Soleil show, La Nouba.
Some points to consider....
So what's in
it for The Mouse? First of all, you have
to stay at a Disney World Resort to get this deal:
hardly a hardship. Disney World Resorts are great
places to stay,
plus
you get perks such as:
-
Extra Magic
Hours in the park, when only resort guests are admitted. (Each day,
one theme park opens one hour early or stays open three hours later,
for Disney Resort guests.)
-
assured
entrance to the theme parks during peak days
-
use of
the excellent Disney buses to the theme parks
The
Value resorts offer excellent price point; fun theming; pools
and food courts; reliable quality.
The Moderate resorts each
have their own character and theming, have pools with slides, and
typically
offer so much on-site recreation
you'll definitely want to spend a day at the resort.
The Luxury resorts
are beautiful, have more elaborate pools, extra services, kids club
and spa, and frequently get kudos in lists of Best Resorts.
Mickey's also hoping you'll take a longer vacation,
because "the longer you play, the less you pay per
day."
Walt Disney World is a vast destination: staying a week
would allow one day for each of the four theme parks, one day at
one of the two waterparks, one day to return to your favorite park,
one day to relax and enjoy your resort.
