Had a Magical Day

01/03/2024

I'm always giving you fun, good news from Disney parks, but time for some not so good, but not surprising, news - is raising prices. The good news is the price increase is only for 2025, 2024 prices are unchanged. So you still have 10 months left to visit at the current prices. In 2025, the ticket prices are raising $5 or $10, per ticket, depending on the time of year.

Good news for folks planning a trip to in 2025. If you stay at any resort hotel, you'll get free admission into either water park (Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach) on the day of check-in. That's a great way to kill half a day. Normally on check-in day, you don't want to go the park and waste a full day ticket on a partial day, so this gives you something fun to do on check-in day and it's free! And you know how rare it is that I get to type "free" and "Disney World" in the same post!

Disney Resort hotel guests arriving in 2025 can enjoy admission to a Disney water park!
