“Magic Your Way” Tickets

What is “Magic Your Way”?

“Magic Your Way” is Disney’s new ticket pricing program that replaces the long-running Park Hopper Passes.  Under the old Park Hopper Program, guests were only permitted to buy multiple-day, multiple-park tickets in increments of 4, 5, 6, and 7 days.  Under the new system, guests can mix and match different options and will have the freedom to construct a customized ticket for their specific needs.  Magic Your Way, allows guests to buy a Base Ticket in increments of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 days.  Adding Park Hopper, Magic Plus, or No Expiration options are available for all tickets.

Base Ticket

The Base Tickets that come with the new system are just that- basic tickets.  The only thing that this ticket allows is admittance into one park for one day.  You cannot visit multiple parks within the same day, you cannot go to the water parks or Disney Quest, and by the way, they expire after 14 days of first use.  It is similar to the one-day ticket that Disney offered previously.  The only change is that you can buy multiple days and can receive discounts on additional days.  The more you buy the cheaper the days get.

Park Hopper Option

If you aren’t a one-park-a-day type of person, you might want to consider adding this option to your base ticket.  The cost of this option is a flat rate of $50 per ticket.  It is $50 if you buy a one-day ticket or if you buy a ten-day ticket.  The value of this option is the ability to go from park to park to park within the same day.  If you show up at Magic Kingdom and it is overly crowded, you can jump on the monorail and pop into Epcot and try your luck there.  You could go to Animal Kingdom for most of the day (which closes early at 5:00 on most days), and then go to Disney Studios and catch Fantasmic! in the evening with this option.

Magic Plus Option

The Magic Plus option works just like the “Plus” options that came with the old 5, 6, and 7-day Hopper Plus Passes.  Extra passes are credited to your ticket and these allow admittance into the water parks, Pleasure Island, Disney’s Wild World of Sports, and Disney Quest.  This option is also a flat rate fee of $50 ($53.25 w/tax) for all tickets per person regardless of how many days.  The addition of plus passes are as follows:

1 and 2-day ticket= 2 plus options                  

3 to 10-day tickets= 1 extra option for every day.  If you have a 4-day ticket, you will get 4 extra "Plus" options, 7-day ticket- 7 option, 8=8, etc...

No Expiration Option

Gone are the days when a ticket was good for eternity.  Under the old system, any leftover, unused days on tickets would never expire.  Under the new system, every ticket expires 14 days after its first use.  You can, however, add the option of no expiration for a nominal fee.  The cost for the No Expiration option depends on how many days are purchased. 

The addition of the No Expiration option is as follows (w/Taxes):

2-day ticket= $18.11                                   3-day ticket= $24.50

4-day ticket= $53.25                                   5-day ticket= $74.55

6-day ticket= $85.20                                   7-day ticket= $117.15

8-day ticket= $154.43                                 9-day ticket= $181.05

10-day ticket= $213.00
