Florida Resident Disney Tickets
The new Disney World ticket comes as an effort by the Walt Disney Company to drive local traffic up in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Many outlets have reported that theme park attendance has decreased over 2023, although the Walt Disney Company has denied this.

As such, Disney did release a four-day, four-park ticket at $396 (). This particular offering allowed park guests to visit one park a day – making one visit to each park during a four-day span.

The new four-day Florida resident Disney weekday magic ticket is only $235. This grants you one admission to each park, one park per day.
The tickets surprisingly have NO BLACKOUT DATES (only weekends) and are available for visits between October 2 – December 22.

The only caveat is that you can only go on a weekday. Although some may consider this a drawback, weekdays in theme parks are usually less crowded. As such, you may have shorter lines, fewer crowds at dining locations, and even a drop in prices for Disney Genie+ or an Individual Lightning Lane.

There are also less expensive offerings at $215 for a 3-day Florida resident ticket and $195 for a two-day ticket. However, they end up being more money per day, if you price it out.
