UK & Ireland Disney Magic Tickets Explained

The package includes the exclusive UK and Ireland Disney Magic Tickets, which include many extras that are typically priced separately with US tickets.

This includes:

• Unlimited access to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, with Park Hopping included. This allows you to move freely between the parks each day. (Think spending the morning in one park, going back to your accommodation to recharge and then heading to another in the evening).
• Unlimited access to both water parks – Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
• A game of miniature golf at Winter Summerland or Fantasia.  
• Memory Maker, which gives you access to unlimited Photopass photos and downloads.

Also, did you know that the 14-day ticket can be used over 18 days? And, you can access either of the two water parks, and they will not count as a day’s admission, as long as you don’t visit one of the four main theme parks on the same day.

Plus, as Magic Tickets are date-based, no park reservations are required.

Top Perks of Staying at a Disney Resort Hotel in Walt Disney World
