An innovative new ticket plan -- "Magic Your Way" --
that allows Walt Disney World guests to create their own tickets
for a customized vacation will provide Floridians who sometimes
make shorter visits with an option to pay less for a one-day Disney
theme park ticket than they are currently paying.
Starting Jan. 2, guests at Walt Disney World Resort can begin purchasing
"Magic Your Way" tickets to the various theme parks, attractions
and other entertainment offerings that are tailored to the length
of their vacation and the interests of their group -- and save more
per day based on their length of stay.
Floridians will be able to opt for a one-day theme park ticket
for $53.78. That compares with the current one-day ticket price
of $54.75.
The saving on the one-day ticket -- which amounts to 10 percent
off the one-day ticket price effective Jan. 2 -- is just one option
that will be available to Florida residents every day of the year
as they customize their "Magic Your Way" tickets with
new savings created just for them. If residents prefer, they can
opt for other alternative savings options:
- A third day free with the purchase of a two-day ticket. (That's
three days -- to be experienced ANY three days during a six-month
period from time of purchase -- for $119 ... which works out to
$39.67 per day)
- Or "Park Hopper" option added at no additional charge
to a full-price one-day ticket. (That's a $35 premium option for
no charge)
"This is our way of thanking our home-state neighbors for
their years of loyalty," said Walt Disney World President Al
Weiss. "Floridians told us what they wanted, so we're giving
them more flexibility and options that fit the way they visit Walt
Disney World."
"Whether ordering a computer, a car or a cup of coffee, people
want things customized to fit their individual needs," Weiss
said. "And now Walt Disney World guests will have that same
ability to customize their dream vacation, creating the ticket that
is just right for them."
And because "Magic Your Way" tickets offer savings that
increase with the length of stay, a weeklong Walt Disney World vacation
becomes even more affordable.
"Recent research shows that longer vacations are high on the
wish list for families," Weiss said. "With so much to
see and do at Walt Disney World, guests want to take a week to experience
it all, at their own pace. With this new plan they can -- and at
more affordable prices that reward more leisurely stays.
"Simply put," he said, "the more you play, the less
you pay per day."
Under this new program, a family of four will be able to enjoy
a six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation -- including a
stay at an on-property Disney hotel with theme park tickets -- for
as little as $1,500.
Even More Choices: Disney Resorts, Benefits
Staying in the "middle of the magic" at a Walt Disney
World Resort hotel has always been the best and most relaxing way
to enjoy a Walt Disney World vacation. And now Disney hotel guests
get great new benefits, too, including more time in the parks and
a convenient and affordable dining plan:
- Extra Magic Hours: Each day the gates of one of Disney's magical
theme parks open one hour early or stay open three hours later
so Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions. (A
valid theme park ticket and Resort ID are required.)
- Disney Dining Plan: Disney hotel guests who want the convenience
of a more-inclusive "cruise-style" vacation can purchase
the "Magic Your Way" Package Plus Dining. For each night
of their resort stay guests can enjoy two meals and a snack at
more than 100 select restaurants throughout the Walt Disney World
parks and hotels.
With more than 20 uniquely themed Disney resorts -- Value, Moderate,
Deluxe and Disney Vacation Club -- Walt Disney World Resort offers
accommodations for every taste and budget. Now that a longer Disney
vacation just got more affordable, Disney resort guests will be
able to enjoy their hotel like never before -- spending quality
"R & R" hours between park visits, whether it's pool
time, a quick nap, shopping or meals.
"The Happiest Celebration on Earth"
New values and benefits become available just as Disney prepares
to launch "The Happiest Celebration on Earth," marking
50 years of Disney theme park magic since Disneyland opened in 1955.
Beginning May 5, 2005, Walt Disney World Resort is importing attractions
from Disney parks around the globe to mark the occasion:
- At Disney's Hollywood Studios, a high-octane stunt show filled with
speeding cars, motorcycles and jet skis comes direct from Disneyland
Resort Paris.
- At Epcot, a soaring adventure over California comes from Disneyland
Resort.
- At Magic Kingdom, a magical, musical "Cinderellabration"
takes its cue from the popular Tokyo Disney Resort show.
- And at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Lucky the dinosaur walks straight
out of the secret labs of Walt Disney Imagineering.
"Magic Your Way" Easy to Book
"Magic Your Way" tickets go on sale beginning Jan. 2.
Until then, you can continue to purchase tickets through our discount
ticket site. From January 2nd, the new Magic Your Way tickets
will be available here also.
