Disney ticketing looks complicated, but the choices come down to a few decisions.

Decide in this order
  • How many days you want at the parks
  • Whether you want to visit more than one park on the same day
  • Which parks matter most to your group
  • What dates you will travel, as prices vary

1Count your park days

Many families need three to five days for the four main parks. Add rest days between park days.

2Decide on park hopping

An option that lets you visit more than one park per day suits keen visitors. Families with young children often prefer one park a day.
