- Beginning on October 16, Guests will be able to access a new online vacation-planning destination and purchase tickets priced by the date of visit. These changes give guests an enhanced way to purchase theme park tickets and help them more easily plan their Disney vacation. 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. When Guests are ready to purchase tickets online, they will be able to use an interactive online calendar, which displays different prices based on the dates that the Guest chooses to visit and states when tickets will need to be used by during a specific time period. The calendar also allows guests to quickly see the lowest-priced days within a month. We’ll have more information as it becomes available.
