New Date-Based Tickets Now Available at Disney World Resort

As we previously announced, Disney World is implementing a new system that allows you to purchase tickets priced by the date of visit on. As of Oct. 16, guests can now access a new online vacation-planning destination where they can now purchase date-based tickets.

Like before, tickets may be purchased on DisneyWorld.com, in the My Disney Experience app, over the phone, upon arrival at any of the four parks or through authorized travel professionals and ticket sellers. Guests can now access several new online planning tools including park offering overviews, travel tips from Disney Parks Moms Panelists and customized suggestions based on each guest’s personal preferences – helping them make more informed decisions on DisneyWorld.com.

Guests are also able to purchase tickets using an interactive online calendar, which displays different ticket prices based on the dates they choose to visit. Check out the video below for a quick overview on how this works – it’s easy and simple.

Compared to previous pricing*, some tickets have decreased, increased or stayed the same, depending on the start date and length of the ticket. For example, a guest purchasing a 3-day ticket with a start date of Feb. 10, 2019 will now actually pay $4 less per day than they would have before. A Guest purchasing a 6-day ticket with a start date of this Thanksgiving will now pay a little more – an average of $5 per day – since it’s one of the most popular times of year to visit.

As our parks continue to increase in popularity, this new pricing model is part of our broader efforts to better spread attendance throughout the year, and is intended to help us improve and deliver a great experience for our guests. We continue to grow with industry-leading immersive lands like Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Toy Story Land and the upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re also looking forward to opening even more attractions that take creative storytelling to the next level.

Once your ticket is purchased, you are able to continue planning your visit with the newly-refreshed My Disney Experience, the one-stop shop for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, where you can view or change your tickets, book dining reservations, make FastPass+ selections and more.

Walt Disney World Introduces New Date-Based Pricing System For Tickets

Walt Disney World announced on Monday that it’s launching a new date-based pricing system for theme park tickets. Beginning Oct. 16, guests will be able to access our Disney’s new online vacation-planning destination and purchase tickets priced by the date of visit.

When guests are ready to purchase tickets online, they may use an interactive online calendar, which displays different prices based on the dates guests choose to visit and states tickets will need to be used during a specific time period. The calendar also allows guests to quickly see the lowest-priced days within a month. For example, prices may be lower during off-peak travel periods.

These changes are designed to simplify the booking experience, give guests an enhanced way to purchase theme park tickets and help them more easily plan the Disney vacation of their dreams.

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.

Under the new plan, prices will vary based on the particular day. Single-day tickets will range from $109 to $129, depending on how popular the day is expected to be. Disney states that this will help them “better distribute attendance throughout the year.” The prices are preset for each day and will not change, the company says.

Disneyland Discontinues SoCal Annual Pass

With new attractions planned at the Anaheim park, it appears Disneyland may be taking some crowd control measures. Disneyland is discontinuing its popular SoCal annual pass.

The annual pass that allows people to visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on certain days year round will not be available to new customers for the time being, a spokesperson confirms.

The $469 pass, which gives visitors access to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for about 215 days a year, will not be available to new customers, though current passholders will have the option to renew. People with recently-expired passes will get a letter on how to renew the pass.

As of Monday, November 20 the $469 pass- which is one of the park’s least expensive annual pass options- is no longer available on Disneyland’s website.

The Southern California annual pass was available to residents living in ZIP codes 90000 to 93599, which is from San Diego to north of San Luis Obispo.
