Disney World Revives Popular Restricted Ticket

Disney World is reintroducing a popular 2-day, 2-park ticket for Animal Kingdom and EPCOT, priced from $199. This offer will be available to the general public from August 3 to October 3, coinciding with the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Previously, this ticket was exclusively for Florida residents.

A separate "Magic Ticket" offers 4-day, 4-park access for $109 per day, running until September 26. Concurrently, a new transportation policy effective June 28 will limit access to resort transportation from Disney Springs. Only guests with confirmed resort bookings, dining reservations, or other Disney experiences will be permitted to use this service to travel to the parks.

This change is expected to mitigate long wait times for resort guests by closing a loophole that allowed visitors to park at Disney Springs for free and then use resort transportation to reach the theme parks. Standard theme park parking costs approximately $35 daily. Accessing resort transportation will now require guests to present a MagicBand, MagicMobile pass, or reservation details.
