Walt Disney World has introduced a couple of limited-time ticket deals to its theme parks. One is specifically for Florida residents, and the other costs $99 a day for four days and four theme parks.
The Florida Resident Disney Summer Magic Ticket offers a four-day ticket for $229 or a three-day ticket for $209. These tickets are valid May 16-Sept. 29, although there are 12 blockout dates leading into Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Date-specific theme-park reservations are required with this ticket. The theme-park outings do not have to be on consecutive days with this package.
Proof of Florida residency is required.
This offer includes a park-hopper option (for $40) that allows visits to more than one park per day. There’s also a water park and sports option for $35, which permits visits to a Disney World water park (only Typhoon Lagoon is open currently) as well as a golf course or miniature golf course. A “park hopper plus” option lumps both of those together for $55 per ticket.
The resort’s 4-Park Magic Ticket, which becomes available May 23, has different restrictions. It’s valid between June 1 and Sept. 23 with eight blockout dates in July and September. It allows admission to each of the four theme parks on four different days. Those tickets expire within seven days of the first use (or on Sept. 29, whichever comes first).
The ticket may not be used to enter the same theme park more than once, and there is no park-hopper option. But this ticket deal does not require theme-park reservations.
Since last summer, Tron Lightcycle / Run has debuted at Magic Kingdom and “Fantasmic” has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Two nighttime spectaculars — “Epcot Forever” at Epcot and “Happily Ever After” at Magic Kingdom — are back in the daily lineup as well.
