Disney Parks Blog announce last month that beginning October 16, 2018 on DisneyWorld.com, guests will be able to access a new online vacation-planning destination and purchase tickets priced by the date of visit. These changes are designed to simplify the booking experience, give guests an enhanced way to purchase theme park tickets and help them more easily plan the Disney vacation of their dreams.
The new online vacation-planning destination features park offering overviews, travel tips from Disney Parks Moms Panelists and customized suggestions based on each guest’s personal preferences – helping guests make more informed decisions.
When guests are ready to purchase tickets online, they may use an interactive online calendar, which displays different prices based on the dates guests choose to visit and states tickets will need to be used during a specific time period. The calendar also allows guests to quickly see the lowest-priced days within a month. For example, prices may be lower during off-peak travel periods.
Check out the video below for a first look at how it works.
Once tickets are purchased, guests will be able to continue seamlessly planning their vacation on the website through MyDisneyExperience, which guides guests through the different phases and steps of personalizing their vacation to make the most of their travel party’s unique interests. Guests can manage their plans through the MyDisneyExperience mobile app as well, where they will also be able to access the interactive calendar and purchase their tickets on the go.
Thomas Smith from Disney Parks Blog said, "So why are we making these changes? As our parks have increased in popularity, there are more and more guests who wish to experience our world-class attractions. Introducing date-based tickets and pricing will allow us to better distribute attendance throughout the year so that we can continue to improve and deliver a great experience."
Under this new system, 1-Day base tickets are valid for admission on the specific start date selected. Multi-day tickets are valid for admission beginning on the start date selected and must be used within a limited time period, as indicated below:
Ticket Duration Valid Use Period:
- 1-Day Ticket Only the start date selected
- 2-Day Ticket Any 2 days within 4 days beginning on the start date
- 3-Day Ticket Any 3 days within 5 days beginning on the start date
- 4-Day Ticket Any 4 days within 7 days beginning on the start date
- 5-Day Ticket Any 5 days within 8 days beginning on the start date
- 6-Day Ticket Any 6 days within 9 days beginning on the start date
- 7-Day Ticket Any 7 days within 10 days beginning on the start date
- 8-Day Ticket Any 8 days within 12 days beginning on the start date
- 9-Day Ticket Any 9 days within 13 days beginning on the start date
- 10-Day Ticket Any 10 days within 14 days beginning on the start date
A flexible dates option add on will give guests more time to spread out visits for an additional cost.
Tickets purchased before the start of this new model will not be effected. Various WDW ticket prices are also expected to increase on this day as well, but that has not been announced as of yet.
