You will always be able to select one of two types of packages:
- Disney Resort Hotel Package – Includes a Disney Resort stay at a Value, Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort and a Walt Disney Worldยฎ Theme Park Ticket that gives each member of your travel party entry to one Theme Park every ticket day. You can then add additional ticket options.
- Disney Resort Hotel With Dining Packages – Once you’ve created the Disney Resort Hotel Package that best meets your needs, add the Disney Dining Plan and choose the meals you and your family want for up to 30% savings. Dining options include over 100 participating counter-service, table-service and Signature Dining Disney restaurants.
You can select two exciting options to customize each ticket to meet the needs and preferences of your entire travel party or, when purchasing your tickets without accommodations, you can select different tickets for each member of your travel party:
- Include the Park Hopperยฎ option to your ticket to come and go through the four main theme parks on the same day as many times as you like.
- Include the Park Hopperยฎ Plus option (formerly the Water Park Fun & More Option). The Park Hopperยฎ Plus option includes visits to a Disney Water Park and other attractions – along with the ability to visit more than one Theme park on the same day. This option also extends the period of time within which you may use your ticket by one day. For example, a 6-day ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option with a start date of November 1, ticket is valid any 6 days from November 1 – November 10. Park Hopper Plus attractions include: Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park*, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park*, Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course**, Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course***, Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course*** or ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex****. The total number of visits varies with the length of the ticket purchased.

Round must start prior to 4:00 p.m. Only one miniature golf course visit per day. Only one miniature golf course may be open from time to time and courses are subject to weather closures. **** Valid only on event days. There are no events on certain days; some events require an additional admission charge.
Please note that all Walt Disney Worldยฎ Theme Park Tickets are nontransferable and must be used by the same person on any and all days.
