Walt Disney World^® Tickets in Orlando, FL

Do I need to make a reservation prior to arrival?

Yes, to enter a park, BOTH a Park Reservation and Valid Admission Ticket is required prior to arrival.  Please check to see if your desired date and theme park is available BEFORE purchasing your ticket by clicking on the Check Availability Calendar. After purchase, visit your Disney World account at StartYourDisneyExperience.com and select the date you plan on attending the park through the Disney Park Pass reservation system. Given the limited availability of park reservations, it is recommended that you make your theme park reservations immediately after purchasing your admission. Buying a ticket does not guarantee you admission into a park without an advance reservation. Capacity is limited and sells out fast during peak periods. Park Hopper tickets require a Park Reservation for the first park they plan to visit for each day. You can hop the another park with the Park Hopper after 2pm. 

Are Face Masks Required?

While face coverings are required for all Guests while in Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, they are now optional in most areas for Guests who are fully vaccinated. While we do not require proof of vaccination, we expect Guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations and upon entering and throughout all attractions and transportation.

What is Disney FastPass+ service and how does it work? (Currently Unavailable)

Disney FastPass+ service allows you to reserve access to select Walt Disney World® attractions, entertainment and character greeting in advance. There is no additional cost to use the Disney FastPass+ service and it is included with your theme park admission. Please note since Covid, this feature has currently been suspended until further notice.

How does My Disney Experience work after I purchase my tickets?

How many FastPass+ selections can I make for each day of my ticket? (Currently unavailable)
You can make up to 3 FastPass+ selections for a single park per day (depending on availability). At the park, once you redeem your initial set of FastPass+ selections, you can make another FastPass+ selection for the same day at an in-park kiosk or using your mobile device, up to park closing. If your ticket includes a Park Hopper® Option, after you use your initial FastPass+ selections at the first park, you'll be able to make additional FastPass+ selections (one at a time) at the second park you visit that day, up to park closing. Just visit a kiosk or using your mobile device to make additional selections. 

Is the Disney FastPass+ service like a restaurant reservation? Do I have to show up at a specific time for an attraction?
No, it's better! You are assigned an arrival window - usually one hour long - for each attraction you select. Show up any time that you wish during this window. When you are ready to visit the attraction within your window, go to the FastPass+ entrance and touch your MagicBand or card to the touch point.

What is a MagicBand? 
Your MagicBand allows you to enter the parks, unlock your Walt Disney World® Resort hotel room and buy food and merchandise. Plus, your MagicBand gives you FastPass+ access to all the experiences you've selected online. The MagicBand is not required but is a magical way to experience your visit.

How can I get a MagicBand?

If you are not staying onsite, you can purchase a MagicBand online at the DisneyStore.com or select Walt Disney World® retail locations. MagicBands start at $14.99 plus tax at Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks and Disney Springs area. However, you will receive a MagicBand at no extra cost if you stay at any of the Walt Disney World® Resort hotels and can be arranged on your StartYourDisneyExperience account.

How do I use the MagicBand or card when I have a FastPass+ arrival time at an attraction or entertainment experience?  
When you arrive during your scheduled FastPass+ arrival time, all you need to do is proceed to the FastPass+ queue entrance and touch your MagicBand or card to a sensor called a touch point. Please remember that each member of your party will have to individually touch their MagicBand or card to the touch point for entrance.
