Disney Special Prices for Florida Residents

June 19th, 2008

Florida Residents Special PricesLake Buena Vista, FL - The innovative “Magic Your Way” ticket plan that allows Walt Disney World guests to create their own tickets for a customized vacation also provides Floridians — who sometimes make shorter but more frequent visits — with options designed for the way residents of the Sunshine State often “do Disney.”

For Walt Disney World guests generally, “Magic Your Way” means tickets to the various theme parks, attractions and other entertainment offerings are tailored to the interests of their group and the length of their vacation . . . and they save if their stay is longer.

But Floridians can opt for several immediate savings:

  • One-day theme park Base Ticket, purchased pre-arrival, for $63.90 for guests ages 10-and-up, $54 for ages 3-9 (10 percent off on-site one-day ticket prices; tickets are available pre-arrival at disneyworld.com, 407-W-DISNEY, AAA in Florida, The Disney Stores in Florida, and Military Bases in Florida);
  • 3-Day Play Pass (three days to be experienced any three days during a six-month period from time of first use) for $125 for ages 10 and older, $105 for ages 3-9 (less than the price of two-day Base Tickets that expire 14 days after first use);
  • 4-Day Play Pass (four days to be experienced any four days during a six-month period from time of first use) for $159 for ages 10 and older, $134 for ages 3-9 (cutting the cost of Disney fun to $39.75 per day for guests ages 10 and older, $33.50 for guests ages 3-9);
  • Ticket add-on options at substantial savings — Park Hopper for just $22.50 extra on any Resident ticket, and Water Park Fun & More for just $25 extra on any Resident ticket (Park Hopper is a $45 premium option and Water Park Fun & More is a $50 premium option on “Magic Your Way” tickets available generally).
  • “This is our way of thanking our home-state neighbors for their years of loyalty,” said Al Weiss, president, Worldwide Operations, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “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 added. “Now our guests have that same ability to customize their Walt Disney World dream vacation, creating the ticket that is just right for them.”

    Because “Magic Your Way” tickets offer savings that increase with the length of stay, a weeklong Walt Disney World vacation becomes even more affordable.

    “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 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 the “Magic Your Way” program, a family of four can enjoy a six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation — including a stay at an on-property Disney hotel with theme park tickets — starting at $1,600.

    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: One of Disney’s theme parks opens one hour early or stays open three hours later so Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions. In addition, both Disney water parks open one hour early for guests at select Disney Resort hotels. (A valid theme park and water 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.

    Disney’s Magical Express: Guests of 23 Disney owned-and-operated hotels can check their bags at their hometown airport, bypass baggage claim at Orlando International Airport (OIA) and board deluxe motor coaches for complimentary transportation to the Vacation Kingdom, where their bags “magically” appear in their room upon check-in.
    With 23 uniquely themed Disney resorts — Disney Value, Disney Moderate, Disney Deluxe and Disney Deluxe Villas — Walt Disney World Resort offers accommodations for every taste and budget.

    “Magic Your Way” Easy to Book

    A step-by-step, shopping cart-style process on disneyworld.com makes it easy to customize and book a dream Walt Disney World vacation. Or guests can contact 407/W-DISNEY or their travel agent to book the magic — their way.
