Walt Disney World Switching to Date-Based Ticket Prices, Including Multi-Day Tickets

Walt Disney World is moving multi-day tickets to date-based pricing, as an expansion of Disney Parks’ continued efforts to use pricing as a way to spread out demand throughout the year.

What’s happening

  • Starting October 16th, Walt Disney World theme park tickets will be priced based on the date guests choose to visit.
  • As a result, the resort is also launching a new online vacation-planning platform.
  • According to the Disney Parks Blog, “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.”
  • This will include an interactive calendar that will display pricing for selected dates and allows guests to see the lowest-priced days within a month.
  • The Parks Blog also included a video explaining the new platform:
  • Under the 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.
  • Previously multi-day tickets expired 14 days after their first use.
  • Guests wanting additional flexibility can purchase a Flexible Date Ticket
  • Here’s how the validity periods will work now:
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
