With four theme parks, two water parks, two nightlife districts,
incredible resorts and countless attractions, there's easily a week's
worth of fun and magic at Walt Disney World Resort.
And, beginning Jan. 2, new "Magic Your Way" tickets will
allow guests to customize a weeklong dream vacation like never before
with a ticket that matches their needs and desires.
With "Magic Your Way" tickets, the more you play the
less you pay, with a seven-day base ticket averaging just $29 per
day -- or less than half the price of a single-day ticket. That
means a family of four can enjoy a weeklong Walt Disney World value
vacation -- staying at a Walt Disney World value resort hotel and
with tickets to all four of the theme parks -- for as little as
$1,500.
And recent research shows that "more time on vacation"
tops the wish list of vacationers. Thanks to "Magic Your Way,"
guests can stay longer, play longer and do all there is to do across
the 47-square-mile resort. And they can tailor the ticket to their
needs.
"People today expect the ability to customize the products
they buy," said Al Weiss, Walt Disney World Resort president.
" 'Magic Your Way' tickets allow guests to create a value ticket
for a week of visits to the theme parks just the way they like it."
"Magic Your Way" also treats Disney resort hotel guests
to exciting new benefits. The Extra Magic Hours program offers guests
exclusive morning and evening time in all four theme parks.
Here's a sampling of just one of the many ways Walt Disney World
guests can enjoy the diversity and relaxation of a new "Magic
Your Way" vacation across seven magical days:
DAY ONE: Arrival Day/Magic Kingdom
Morning: Disney hotel check-in.
Afternoon: Welcome to Magic Kingdom! For an afternoon that is sure
to jump-start the magic, begin with the afternoon character parade,
"Share a Dream Come True." Then, head to Fantasyland and
experience some of the all-time-favorite attractions including:
Peter Pan's Flight, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo
the Flying Elephant and Cinderella's Golden Carrousel.
Evening: Enjoy a quiet evening at your Disney hotel. Nosh at one
of the on-site dining establishments or order in-room service. Early
to bed for a fresh start to Day Two!
DAY TWO: Disney's Animal Kingdom
Morning: Early risers? Why not hit your Disney hotel pool for a
refreshing morning dip before heading over to Disney's Animal Kingdom?
Or, look for the theme park offering Extra Magic Hours to Disney
resort guests, allowing them early entry to get a jump on all the
fun ahead of day guests.
Afternoon: Be sure to catch all of the Disney Animal Kingdom "must
sees," including Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safaris, "It's
Tough to be a Bug!" Festival of the Lion King and DINOSAUR.
Evening: Since Disney's Animal Kingdom closes earlier than the
other parks, tonight is an ideal night to dine at one of the many
renowned restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort. In keeping with
the day's theme, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge offers unique dining
experiences at both Jiko-The Cooking Place and Boma-Flavors of Africa.
DAY THREE: Epcot
Morning: Open up the day at Epcot -- a great place to meet and
greet the Disney characters caravanning throughthe park by double-decker
bus. Get your motor running by riding Test Track, then soar to planet
Mars on Mission: SPACE.
Afternoon: Back to Earth and back to the hotel for a swim or a
much-earned afternoon nap!
Evening: Travel back to Epcot for a trip around the world! From
Mexico to Morocco, Epcot World Showcase features the sights and
sounds of cultures near and far. Enjoy a sit-down dinner at some
of the most sought-after restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort
or get a taste for all that World Showcase has to offer and nibble
from country to country. Close out the night with "Illuminations:
Reflections of Earth" -- a dazzling display of lasers, fireworks,
fountains and music.
DAY FOUR: A Day Away From the Parks
How about a round of golf or a day at the spa? Today is the day
that anything goes! Lounge at the pool or snooze away the afternoon.
Tonight, sign the kids up to participate in one of the Walt Disney
World kid's clubs and spend the evening dining with your sweetie.
Or, if you are looking for something for the whole family, catch
the extraordinary entertainment experience of Cirque du Soleil®
La Nouba at Downtown Disney West Side. A good 21-and-over option
to close out the day: the sizzling nightlife of Downtown Disney
Pleasure Island.
DAY FIVE: Disney/MGM Studios
Morning and Afternoon: Hooray for Hollywood and Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Today is a full day of theme park frolicking. Not-to-be-missed attractions
include The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller
Coaster Starring Aerosmith, "Voyage of the Little Mermaid"
and "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" Truly entertaining
is the "Disney Stars and Motor Cars" parade -- a tribute
to the golden era of Hollywood.
Evening: Nighttime is the right time for "Fantasmic!"
It's a dramatic mix of fireworks, lasers, special effects and Disney
characters -- a star-studded way to end the day at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
DAY SIX: Water Park/Magic Kingdom
Morning: Sunscreen? Check. Shades? Check. Swimsuit? Check. Time
to catch the wave to Typhoon Lagoon. Ride the rapids on Mayday Falls,
swim with the fins in Shark Reef or lounge in the lazy stream at
Castaway Creek.
Afternoon: Dry off and it's off to Magic Kingdom to hit the mountains
of Frontierland. While there, be sure to catch Country Bear Jamboree.
Other must-sees for Day Six include Pirates of the Caribbean, Space
Mountain, "Mickey's PhilharMagic" and a tour through Mickey's
Toontown Fair.
Evening: Things go bump in the night when you ride The Haunted
Mansion after sundown. Then it's time to wish upon a star as you
gaze at "Wishes," a stunning display of fireworks that
comes to life through a musical narrative. A sparkling end to a
magical day!
DAY SEVEN: Character Breakfast and Departure Day
Morning/Afternoon: What better way to close out the trip than with
a kiss goodbye from the characters at a Walt Disney World character
breakfast? Enjoy a fabulous feast and grab the last of your autographs.
If time permits, head back to Magic Kingdom for one last twirl on
the Mad Tea Party teacups or a last shot at the Z's on Buzz Lightyear's
Space Ranger Spin. As you enjoy that final stroll down Main Street,
U.S.A., pop into one of the shops for a photo album to hold all
of your vacation memories.
