Walt Disney World Tickets

Walt Disney World has many different tickets options. You can get a one day one park ticket or a park hopper add on or even a water parks and more add on! We will go through all the ticket options I know about to help you best decide what your best course of action is in the ticket department for your next Walt Disney World Trip.

Single Park Tickets

Standard Walt Disney World tickets are priced on a sliding scale based on how busy that day is projected to be. Ok, but what does that mean? I’m going to take the months of June, July, and August to give you an idea.
1 day 1 park adult ticket costs $125 (children age 3-9 $120) any day between June 11-June 29, 2019. June 30, 2019 is $117 (children age 3-9 $112). July has the same same price points depending on the day with the exception of July 4, 2019 which has a ticket price of $139 (children age 3-9 $134). August has the same $125 and $117 price point varying through the month with the exception of August 26-29, 2019 where the price point is $109 (children age 3-9 $105). Can you tell when kids go back to school? If you would like to look at other months you can find the price calendar here https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/admission/tickets/theme-parks/

The Walt Disney World website boasts that you can save $20 per ticket if you purchase 3 or more days online instead of at a Walt Disney World ticket window outside of a park. Ticket prices do decrease in their price per day as you add more days. An example for that is the lowest price for 1 day 1 park is $109 and the lowest price for 10 days 1 park is $47 per day!

Park Hopper Tickets

Park Hopper Walt Disney World tickets are priced on a sliding scale based on how busy that day is projected to be, just as the standard tickets are. Park hoppers allow you to visit multiple parks on the same day. I’m going to take the months of June, July, and August to give you an idea of pricing.
1 day park hopper adult ticket costs $185 (children age 3-9 $180) any day between June 11-June 29, 2019. June 30, 2019 is $177 (children age 3-9 $172). July has the same same price points depending on the day with the exception of July 4, 2019 which has a ticket price of $199 (children age 3-9 $194). August has the same $185 and $177 price point varying through the month with the exception of August 26-29, 2019 where the price point is $169 (children age 3-9 $164). As with the standard ticket, the more days you add the cheaper it becomes per day.

Deciding to purchase a park hopper or not can be a little overwhelming, especially if it is your first trip. I would personally not suggest purchasing a park hopper for a first trip. Navigating Disney Transportation can be a little crazy, and there’s no reason to add stress to your first trip!

Park Hopper Plus Tickets

The park hopper plus tickets are in a category all their own since it gives you twice as many days as you purchase. Wait, what? Yep! Say you purchase a 6 day park hopper plus ticket, you have 6 days worth of park hopping plus 6 days to use one of the two water parks, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course, or Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course meaning twelve total days of Disney amazingness!!

Now let’s talk pricing. They are also priced like the standard ticket and park hopper tickets. I’m going to take the months of June, July, and August to give you an idea of pricing.
1 day park hopper plus adult ticket costs $205 (children age 3-9 $200) any day between June 11-June 29, 2019. June 30, 2019 is $197 (children age 3-9 $192). July has the same same price points depending on the day with the exception of July 4, 2019 which has a ticket price of $219 (children age 3-9 $214). August has the same $205 and $197 price point varying through the month with the exception of August 26-29, 2019 where the price point is $189 (children age 3-9 $184). As with the standard ticket, the more days you add the cheaper it becomes per day.

Florida residents do get a slight discount on single day tickets as well. They range from $109-129 depending on the day for adults and $104-124 for children age 3-9.

DVC Ticket Options

From what I can find there are not currently discounts on theme park tickets for DVC members. There is however discounted annual pass options as stated in the above link. If that information is incorrect please leave a comment down below so I can correct my error.

Military Tickets

Military members or their ID’d spouse may purchase up to six military park hopper passes (Armed Forces Salute Tickets) a year. The best option to go about obtaining those passes is at your base’s ticket office. You can also get them from Shades of Green. The current year promotional dates will end on December 19, 2019. For this year there are 4 or 5 day park hopper options or 4 or 5 day park hopper plus options.
4 day park hopper $241
5 day park hopper $ 257
4 day park hopper plus $291
5 day park hopper plus $307

Age is not a factor for these tickets. It is the same price for adult and children (under 3 will be free). You will need to activate your tickets at a Guest Relations window prior to entering a park. Even without them being activated you will be able to make Fastpass selections once you have linked the voucher to your My Disney Experience app. If you have any questions about the military tickets leave a comment below.

Discount tickets

I hear the need for this so much! I get it, Disney is EXPENSIVE! That being said the only discount place I truly trust is Undercover Tourist. Please do not stop off at those road side places advertising cheap tickets, they are more often than not a scam. Also, see what you job has to offer. When I worked for JCPenney they partnered with a company called Tickets for Work and that’s where we got slightly discounted tickets for our honeymoon.

*Ashley’s super tip! If you have a Target Red Card (Debit or Credit) you can purchase Disney giftcards at 5% off! You can use those cards to purchase tickets, pay for on site Disney resort rooms, shopping in Disney, eating in Disney. Target gets a lot of our money as it is, they get some more when it’s time to plan a big trip!

I hope this has helped you plan your ticket purchase strategy. Ask any questions you may have about tickets! I’d be happy to clarify anything I can for you!
