Insiders Look at the Disney World 4-Park Magic Ticket
Is the Disney World 4-Day Magic Ticket right for you?
There’s no better way to spend quality time with family and friends than a summer vacation at Walt Disney World Resort!
The 4-Park Magic Discount Ticket at Disney World
You can purchase the 4-Park Magic Ticket which includes one day of admission to each of the four theme parks for a total of 4 admissions, on 4 separate days for $99 per day (plus tax).
No theme park reservations are needed. In this article, I’ll show you how you can combine this ticket with a Disney World hotel stay and how to save on the nightly room rate.
How the 4-Park Magic Ticket Compares to a Standard Disney World Ticket
$99 Per Day
Purchase the 4-Park Magic Ticket for $99 per day plus tax ($396 total plus tax). Tickets expire seven days from first use, or Sept. 29, 2023, whichever comes first.
This special promo ticket costs slightly more than a 3-Day Standard Disney World Ticket, but less than a Standard 4-Day ticket.
Flexible Disney World Touring
Standard Disney World Ticket
With a Standard Disney World Ticket, you can choose the parks you would like to visit in any combination.
For example, you may decide to visit Magic Kingdom on two separate days.
Theme Park reservations are required and ticket prices vary by day.
Standard tickets can be included in Disney World Resort Packages and are refundable according to the package terms. In short: cancel by 30 days prior to arrival for a full refund.
4-Park Magic Ticket
The 4-Day Magic Ticket gives you one admission to each of the 4 Disney World theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom) but you cannot repeat a park visit.
Of course, you will be able to leave and return to the same park on the same day.
Theme Park reservations are not required with a 4-Park Magic Ticket and ticket prices do not vary by day.
Disney World Packages: 4-Park Magic cannot be included in a Disney World Resort Package and it is non-refundable once purchased. However, it can be combined with a resort stay so that it resembles a package, but with different terms and conditions.
Plan a Summer Vacation at Walt Disney World

How much does it cost to get into Disney World?
2023 Walt Disney World ticket prices and ticket FAQ
As a travel advisor, I get a lot of questions when it comes to Disney World ticket prices. Here’s a quick guide I created on how to figure out Disney World tickets. Have questions about booking your Walt Disney World vacation? I have answers! Contact me today for a no-obligation Disney World package quote ▸
How much does it cost to get into Disney World?
Disney World tickets vary in price by day. Yep, Disney has priced out all 365 calendar days. However, when you book a Disney World room and ticket package that includes a stay at a Walt Disney World hotel (including some off-site hotels) and theme park tickets, you get one package price and a number of benefits. Want to see what a package price looks like? Contact me here to get started ▸
What is the cheapest month to go to Disney?
Going off-peak, anytime grade schools are in session, will save you money. January, May, and late August through October are among the cheapest months to visit Walt Disney World.
These times are also among the least crowded times to visit.
How many days do you need at Walt Disney World?
On my Disney World Package page, I provide sample itineraries for common package options from long weekends to see and do it all.
At the bare minimum, I recommend a 3-Day Park Hopper ticket.
This allows you to visit multiple theme parks on the same day, ideal for short stays like long weekends.
If you have more time, I recommended at least a 4-Day Base Ticket so you can visit each of the 4 Disney theme parks at a comfortable pace.
The longer you stay, the cheaper it is to play
Did you know that Disney tickets get cheaper by the day? For example, a 6-Day ticket costs less than a 3-Day ticket when you break down the cost per day.
Let’s use the chart below for Base Tickets to see an example:
A 3-Day Base ticket starts at $362.13, or $120.71 per day
A 6-Day Base ticket starts at $539.88, or $89.98 per day
Another tip I have is to pay attention to the difference in price as you add more days to your tickets. From 6 days on, there is a minimal ticket price increase for additional days.
For example, the difference in price between a 6-Day ticket and a 7-Day ticket is only $16.

Is it better to buy Disney World tickets separately or through a package?
When you include 2 or more day tickets as part of your Disney World hotel stay, your reservation becomes a Disney Resort Package. Packages allow you more flexibility such as the ability to cancel your tickets without penalty.
You won’t have to pay for tickets in full upfront, and you can modify or downgrade your tickets up to 30 days before arrival.
If you purchase tickets outside of a package, they are non-refunable, non-transferable, and they must be paid for in full at the time of order.

Even More Walt Disney World Tickets - FAQ
Is it cheaper to buy Walt Disney World tickets online or at the gate?
1 and 2-Day Disney World tickets cost the same whether you buy them at the gate or online, however, you’ll save money when your purchase a 3-day ticket or longer online.
Are there Florida Resident discounts on Disney World Tickets?
Yes! Florida Residents can save big with discounted tickets. They are usually offered as a 1-day, 3-day or 4-day ticket but this changes often. Some Florida Resident multi-day tickets have blockout dates so be sure to check the dates prior to purchasing.
All adults will need to show proof of Florida residency at the park entrance. Florida residents may purchase discounted tickets for children age 17 and under, even if they do not reside in Florida. View Florida Resident Discount Tickets on the Walt Disney World website.
I found some old Disney World Tickets that we never used. Can they still be used?
Disney will give you a credit from your unused tickets (typically sold in the 1980s and 1990s) toward the purchase of a new ticket. The credit is going to be minimal. You cannot exchange these older tickets if you are booking a package.
Honestly, they probably make better souvenirs. I would just hang on to them as a collectible rather than trying to exchange them.
Free Disney World tickets in exchange for a timeshare presentation. Is this legit?
Be sure you know the company offering the deal. Brands like Hilton, RCI, Westgate etc. are probably fine. Just do your homework on the company before agreeing to anything, search them online, look for reviews and see what others have said. So no to phone calls where the agent makes you decide before you hang up. Scammers and shady businesses like to use a sense of urgency as a high-pressure sales tactic.
Even if you find a legit program offering free or discounted Disney tickets, just know they are usually very high pressure and always take much longer than expected. They are more than prepared to deal with those who are there just for the cheap tickets and they have ways of wearing you down.

Why Magic Bands Are Not Needed Anymore
Stop using MagicBands! They are SO 2013. Here’s everything you need to know about MagicMobile.
MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. MagicBands were how guests entered the theme parks, opened hotel rooms, charged meals and merchandise, and entered FastPass queues.
In January of 2021 Disney began phasing out MagicBands and stopped including them for free with Disney World vacation packages. Your entire visit to Walt Disney World is managed through your phone, so there’s no need to have a separate MagicBand when your phone can do the same things, plus more.
Today, it’s rare to see someone wearing a MagicBand in the Walt Disney World theme parks.
MagicBand displays in retail stores went from taking up entire walls to just a small selection, usually near the check out line - almost like an impulse item at the grocery store. I have even found them at the Disney World outlet store here in Orlando.
A very limited selection of MagicBands for sale at World of Disney, the largest Disney merchandise store in world.
On a recent visit to Disney Springs, I found only a handful MagicBands in the technology section of the store. I could get any color I wanted as long as it was army green.
World of Disney is the largest Disney store in the world.
It’s worth noting that MagicBand+ is sold at Disney Pin Traders inside Disney Springs.
So, what happened to MagicBands?
It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated.
Today most people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too.
Your smartphone (or smartwatch) can now do everything a MagicBand does, plus more.
Disney World MagicMobile
Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you’ve used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology.
If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! I’ll go over it here. Plus, Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps.
Using MagicMobile at Walt Disney World
Enter theme parks
Connect Disney PhotoPass (MemoryMaker) images to your account
Gain access to virtual queue attractions when your boarding group is called
Open your Disney World hotel room
Charge to your Disney Resort hotel folio during your stay
Enter theme park parking lots (complimentary for Disney resort hotel guests and Annual Passholders.)
How to set up Disney MagicMobile:
Download and install the Disney World app on your phone.
Set up your account by linking your package reservation number or your standalone ticket order number to your account. Note: If you have a room and ticket package, you do not need to link your tickets separately.
In the app, tap the Disney MagicMobile tile.
Click the plus (+) sign to begin setting up your pass or passes.
The app will then guide you through the setup process one step at a time.
If you need assistance contact Disney World Internet Help at 407-WDW-HELP.
📱 TIP: If anyone in your party has their own My Disney Experience account, I recommend the lead guest use the “Select Passes to Share” tab within the app and follow the steps.
Using Your Phone to enter the Disney World theme parks
At the park entrance you’ll need to tap your phone on the tapstyle, just as you would a MagicBand. You don’t even need to have the Disney app or the wallet app open. Your phone will automatically open to the wallet when it’s tapped against the reader. It’s magical. Your phone may even play a little jingle.
If you are managing passes for others, such as children, you’ll then swipe the screen to the next pass and tap again.
Cast Members are standing by ready to assist if you need help.
Is Disney MagicMobile free?
Yes, this feature is free to all guests of Walt Disney World, even if you’re not staying on property.
What to Do If You Lose Your Mobile Phone
If you lose your mobile phone or smart device, please go to Guest Relations for assistance. Don’t worry, you’re vacation isn’t over!
What is MagicBand+ and do I need it?
Read my full article Easy Guide to MagicBand+ here.
Will an old MagicBand from a previous trip still work?
Yes. Disney says that MagicBands should last up to 2 years however I have several that are much older than that and they still work. Just make sure they are listed as “active” in your My Disney Experience account.
