Get ready for magical adventures at Walt Disney World in 2024! Disney has just released exciting new ticket offers for Spring and Summer that provide great value and flexibility for your next trip. Whether you want to visit for a long weekend or a full week, there are special ticket deals that will help you experience all the enchantment of Disney’s four world-class theme parks. In this article, we’ll break down all the details of these limited-time offers so you can choose the best option for your dream Disney vacation.
4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket Offer
Ticket Details
The 4-Park Magic Ticket is a fantastic deal that allows you to visit each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks – Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom – for one day each.
Here are the key details:
- Pricing starts at just $99 per day, plus tax (total price from $396, plus tax)
- Valid for admission from April 2 through September 22, 2024
- Tickets expire 7 days after the selected start date
- One theme park per day – no park hopping
- No theme park reservations required
Add-On Options
To get even more value out of your 4-Park Magic Ticket, you can add on the Water Park & Sports option for an additional fee. This allows you to visit Disney’s Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon water parks, plus other sports experiences like mini golf, in addition to the four theme parks.
Why It’s a Good Deal
The 4-Park Magic Ticket can save you a significant amount compared to purchasing single day tickets for each park. A regular 4-day base ticket costs $484-$673 per adult, so the special offer price of $396 provides savings of $88-$277 per person. If you plan to spend one day in each park, this is an excellent way to experience all that Walt Disney World has to offer at a discount.
Special 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket Offer
Ticket Details
If you have a little less time, the Special 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket could be a great fit. You get one admission each to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom at a reduced price.
Key details include:
- Pricing starts at $89 per day, plus tax (total price from $267, plus tax)
- Valid for admission from April 2 through September 24, 2024
- Tickets expire 5 days after the selected start date
- One theme park per day – no park hopping
- No theme park reservations required
Add-On Options
Just like with the 4-Park Magic Ticket, you can add the Water Park & Sports option to your 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket for access to the water parks and sports activities.
Comparison to Regular Pricing
The Special 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket offers savings of around 15-30% compared to the price of a regular 3-day base ticket. With prices starting under $300, it’s a budget-friendly way to experience three of Disney’s theme parks if you don’t mind skipping Magic Kingdom. Check the Disney World Site for full details!
Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket
Ticket Details
Florida Residents can take advantage of the Discover Disney Ticket, a special discounted ticket available for a limited time.
Here are the highlights:
- 3-Day Ticket for $219 total, plus tax (just $73 per day)
- 4-Day Ticket for $235 total, plus tax (only $59 per day)
- Valid for admission from April 2 through September 28, 2024
- Can be used on consecutive or non-consecutive days
- Reservations required and subject to availability
Add-On Options
Florida Residents can customize their Discover Disney Ticket with these add-on options:
- Park Hopper Option: Visit multiple parks per day for $40 more per ticket
- Water Park & Sports Option: Visit a water park or sports experience for $35 more per ticket
- Park Hopper Plus Option: Combines both Park Hopper and Water Park & Sports for $55 more per ticket
Blockout Dates and Reservations
Unlike the 4-Park Magic and 3-Day, 3-Park tickets, the Discover Disney Ticket does require theme park reservations. Additionally, there are blockout dates around the Easter and 4th of July holidays. Be sure to check the blockout calendar and reservation availability before purchasing.
Choosing the Right Ticket
With multiple special ticket offers available, it can be tricky to decide which one to get. Here are some factors to consider:
Length of Stay
The 4-Park Magic Ticket is best if you want to visit all four parks and have at least four days. The 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket works well for a weekend trip or if you don’t need to go to Magic Kingdom. Florida Residents have the most flexibility with the 3-day or 4-day Discover Disney Ticket.
Park Preferences
If you definitely want to visit Magic Kingdom, the 4-Park Magic Ticket or Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket are the way to go. If you’re happy to skip it, the 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket could be perfect, especially if you’ve been to Magic Kingdom before.
Budget
The 4-Park Magic Ticket has the highest starting price at $396 but offers the most savings compared to regular prices. The 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket starts under $300 which could work well for those on a tighter budget. Florida Residents get the cheapest per-day prices, with the 4-Day Discover Disney Ticket coming out to under $60 per day.
Add-On Priorities
All three ticket types have the option to add on water park and sports visits. However, only the Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket can add Park Hopper, which is a nice perk for those who like to visit multiple parks per day. Price out the total cost of your preferred ticket and add-ons to see which is the best deal.

Here are some of the events that you can enjoy with these special offer tickets!
