Prices on this page include tax! Note that ticket prices quoted at disneyworld.com do not include tax. On the Disney site the tax is added to the price during the ordering process, which is why the prices look lower than the prices below.

Magic Your Way Tickets

The Walt Disney World Resort switched to Magic Your Way Tickets beginning 1/2/05. At that time the old Park Hopper and Ultimate Park Hopper tickets were discontinued.

With Magic Your Way Tickets, you first choose the number of days you want on a base ticket that allows you to enter one major theme park (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom) each day. (You can enter that same park multiple times on the same day.) Then you can decide which options, if any, you want to add. You pay for only those features you want, such as the ability to visit multiple Disney theme parks each day or to visit Disney water parks, etc.

Magic Your Way Base Ticket
(gate price for admission to one theme park per day, including tax)

# Days Adult (ages 10 and up) Child (ages 3-9)
1 $79.88 $67.10
2 $158.69 $133.13
3 $225.78 $190.64
4 $233.24 $195.96
5 $236.43 $199.16
6 $239.63

$202.35

7 $242.82 $205.55
8 $246.02

$208.74

9 $249.21 $211.94
10 $252.41 $215.13

Add-on purchases to the base ticket include:

Park Hopper Option - Adding the Park Hopper Option lets you come and go as you please through any or all of the four major Walt Disney World theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) for each day of your pass. Extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is a flat rate of $50 ($53.25 with tax). This works out to about $7.60 per day on a seven-day ticket, but obviously it adds a lot proportionally to the cost of a one-day ticket.

I have been asked if you could buy, say, a 10-Day Base Ticket and use it as a 5-Day Hopper by visiting two parks per day. The answer is no. You can only enter one park per day with Magic Your Way Base Tickets, so you really can't use them as Hoppers unless you buy the Park Hopper Option.

The Park Hopper Option can be added after the initial ticket purchase. For instance, if you buy a 7-day ticket and decide on the 2nd day of your vacation that you'd like to "hop" between parks, you can add the Park Hopper Option for $53.25. Such upgrades are allowed within the first 14 days (day of first use plus 13 days).

Water Park Fun & More Option - This option provides admissions to Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, DisneyQuest, Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, or a round of golf at Oak Trail (advance reservations required). Extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is a flat rate of $50 ($53.25 with tax). You get a set number of admissions to the Water Park Fun & More attractions, depending on the length of the ticket you buy.

When purchasing tickets with the Water Park Fun & More add-on, you will receive the following number of Water Park/DisneyQuest/Wide World of Sports admissions, or rounds at Oak Trail, per ticket:

1-day ticket

2-day ticket 3-day ticket 4-day ticket 5-day ticket
2 visits 2 visits 3 visits 4 visits 5 visits
         
6-day ticket 7-day ticket 8-day ticket 9-day ticket 10-day ticket
6 visits 7 visits 8 visits 9 visits 10 visits

As you can see, there is an incentive to buy the longer passes, so that you'll get more admissions for your money. If you will be visiting the water parks and/or DisneyQuest and/or playing a round at Oak Trail at least twice, this add-on is definitely a good deal.

The Water Park Fun & More option can be added after the initial ticket purchase. For instance, if you buy a 7-day ticket and decide on the 5th day of your vacation that you'd like to visit the water parks, you can add Water Park Fun & More for $53.25. You'll have to use the Water Park Fun & More admissions within the original 14 days of your ticket's validity, unless you buy the No Expiration option. Such upgrades are allowed within the first 14 days (day of first use plus 13 days).

Magic Your Way with Park Hopper and Water Park Fun & More - This ticket combines the benefits of the Park Hopper option and the Water Park Fun & More option. Extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is a flat rate of $100 ($106.50 with tax).

No Expiration Option - Regular Magic Your Way Tickets expire 14 days after their first use. Choosing the No Expiration option means you are free to come back and take advantage of unused days at any time. Extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is:

1-day ticket 2-day ticket 3-day ticket 4-day ticket 5-day ticket
n/a $17 $23 $50 $70
  $18.11 w/tax $24.50 w/tax $53.25 w/tax $74.55 w/tax
         
6-day ticket 7-day ticket 8-day ticket 9-day ticket 10-day ticket
$80 $110 $145 $170 $200
$85.20 w/tax $117.15 w/tax $154.43 w/tax $181.05 w/tax $213.00 w/tax

The No Expiration Option can be added after the initial ticket purchase, but you'll have to pay the full upgrade based on the original length of the ticket. For instance, if you buy a 7-day ticket and decide on the 5th day of your vacation that you won't be using the rest of the ticket on this trip, you can add No Expiration for $117.15 and use the remaining 2 days on a future trip. Such upgrades are allowed within the first 14 days (day of first use plus 13 days). Thanks to Rick G for confirming this.
