When discussing upcoming vacation plans with guests, our Magic Makers® encounter some common misconceptions on the Theme Parks of the Walt Disney World® Resort and Magic Your Way Tickets. As a continuation of our “Breaking the Myths” series, today we are focusing on these misconceptions!
- Myth: Instead of adding the Park Hopper® Option, I can purchase extra days and use them to visit more than one park on one day.
The Magic Your Way Base Tickets can only be used at one park per day. In order to visit more than one park per day, a guest must upgrade their ticket with the Park Hopper® Option which gives them access to any of the four main Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks – Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Without the Park Hopper® Option, there is no way to visit more than one park on the same day. - Myth: Upgrading tickets for longer lengths of stay is expensive.
The Magic Your Way Tickets follow this basic pricing principle – the longer you play, the less you pay per day! So, upgrading from a 3-day Magic Your Way Ticket to a 7-day Magic Your Way Ticket will cut your per day pricing for the ticket almost in half! In some cases, you can add an extra day for as little as $10+tax! Spending an extra day in the Magic may not cost as much as you think. - Myth: Walt Disney World® and Magic Kingdom® Park are the same thing.
The Walt Disney World® Resort is a 40 sq mile vacation kingdom! The Resort is primarily made up of four main theme parks (Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park) two water parks (Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park), an entertainment and shopping district (Downtown Disney® Area) and 25 Disney owned/operated Resorts. The attractions of the Magic Kingdom® Park is just one small piece of what the Walt Disney World® Resort has to offer! - Myth: My kids won’t have any interest in Epcot®. And since we have a zoo at home, so we are going to skip Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park as well.
All four of the Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks have so much to offer guests of all ages that none of them should be immediately written off! We have discussed before about fun activities awaiting your children at Epcot®. When Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park was first opened, it was marketed as “nahtazu” (not a zoo), and we tend to agree! It offers so much more than the average local zoo. Whether young or old, Disney’s Imagineers have focused on ensuring each park has something for everyone. Depending on your family, interest levels will vary for each park. Working closely with your Magic Maker®, you will be able to determine about how much time you should set aside for each park. But do yourself a favor and explore what each park has to offer. You may be surprised by what you find!
