Think of this a the base ticket Re-enforce the Savings ---the per-day cost of the Magic Your Way Starter pass is less expensive the longer the ticket. For example, it is only +$6 to upgrade from a 5 day to a 7 day pass. The Magic Your Way Starter Pass Does NOT include Park Hopping. Q&A: What’s different between this new ticket and Disney’s Park Hopper ticket? -- Unlike Disney’s Park Hopper tickets, the new Magic Your Way Starter Pass is available in a variety of increments – from 1 to 7 days – whereas Disney’s Park Hopper tickets are only available for 4 days or more. Can I upgrade previously purchased tickets? -- Yes, previously purchased tickets can be upgraded at guest services at the theme parks
Point out savings of five days or more including park hopping option with Park Hopping: 5 Day Pass: $193 + $35 = $228 total per adult / $45.60 per day $155 + $35 = $190 total per child / $38.00 per day Q&A: Can I use one of my extra “days” on my Magic Your Way Starter Pass to visit another park on the same day, as an alternative to “park hopping”? -- No. Guests who purchase the Magic Your Way Starter Pass will not be able to use additional base days to “hop” from park to park on the same day. Only one theme park visit can be used per day. What is the benefit of the Park Hopper option/add-on? -- The Park Hopper Option allows guests to come and go as they please through all four WDW theme parks on the same day, every day, for the length of the ticket. -- For Disney resort guests, the Park Hopper option enables them to take full advantage of Extra Magic Hours benefit.
The number of visits varies with the length of the ticket purchased. Review grid – point out savings for 5 days or more including Magic Plus Pack (prices below do not include tax) DisneyQuest Gate = $32 p/adult and $26 per child Water Park Gate = $32 p/adult and $26 per child Pleasure Island Gate = $16.95 p/adult +$45 for 2 to 4 visits with the Magic Plus Pack versus : One DQ and One WP (Gate): $64 p/adult and $52 p/child One DQ and Two Water Parks (Gate): $96 p/adult and $78 p/child Q&A: Does adding the Park Hopper Option to the Magic Plus Pack include hopping with the water parks and Pleasure Island? -- No. The Park Hopper Option allows guests to make multiple visits between the four WDW theme parks only on the same day. Can I visit the Magic Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon on the say day? -- Yes Can a guest visit two water park/entertainment options on the same day? -- Yes. Guests are allowed to visit as many Magic Plus Pack venue options in any one day as they desire…up to the number of water park/entertainment admissions on their ticket. Does sports complex require separate admission? –Yes, on event days.
The cost of the No Expiration Option does increase based on the length of stay. For example: 2-day ticket No Expiration option is $10 5-day No Expiration option is $35 For guests who do not purchase the non-expiration add-on, all park admissions AND visits, including water parks, will expire 14 days from first use. Q&A: If the “No-Expiration” option is added to a Magic Your Way Starter Pass with the Magic Plus Pack option, are other gated attractions, such as water parks also covered by the No-Expiration option? -- Yes. If the Magic Your Way Starter Pass is purchased pre-arrival without the “No-Expiration” option, can this option be added when they arrive to Orlando? -- Yes, but the guests will be charged the add-on amount applicable to the length of stay ticket they own.
Premium Pass = Park Hopping + Magic Plus Pack Non-Expiration can be added to the Premium Pass for $10 - $55. The number of Magic Plus Pack visits included in the Premium Pass is dependent on the type of ticket product purchased. (refer to chart) We think this is a hot seller for you, so we bundled it together for you. We expect it to be popular. ( Magic Your Way Starter Pass and Premium Pass would be the closest thing to the Ultimate park hopper as we know it) Q&A: With the Magic Your Way Premium Pass, does park hopping include hopping with the water parks and Pleasure Island? --No. Guests electing to purchase the Premium Pass option can park hop between the four WDW theme parks. Hopping to more than one water park is dependent on the number of visits purchased. If the “No-Expiration” option is added to a Magic Your Way Premium Pass, are other gated attractions, such as water parks also covered by the No-Expiration option? -- Yes.
Review all ticket options and opportunities listed on above grid Q&A: Can a guest/client upgrade an existing ticket? -- In general, guests can upgrade to any type of ticket, provided the new ticket is of the same or higher value as the old ticket by simply paying the difference. However, no refunds will be issued if the new ticket is of lesser value. Can un-used Park Hopper tickets purchased prior to Jan.2 be upgraded to one of the new tickets? -- Yes, if the ticket has NOT been used, the value of the old ticket may be applied to the new Magic Your Way ticket of equal or greater value. When upgrading an old ticket that included park hopping, does the new ticket need to include park hopping as well? -- Yes. If a Park Hopper ticket is being upgraded, the guests must upgrade to the Magic Your Way Start Pass with Park Hopping Option.
