Summer Discounts for Floridians at Disney
May 1st, 2009
Lake Buena Vista, FL – The innovative “Magic Your Way” ticket plan that allows Walt Disney World guests to create their own tickets for a customized vacation also provides Floridians — who sometimes make shorter but more frequent visits — with options designed for the way residents of the Sunshine State often “do Disney.”
For Walt Disney World guests generally, “Magic Your Way” means tickets to the various theme parks, attractions and other entertainment offerings are tailored to the interests of their group and the length of their vacation . . . and they save if their stay is longer.
Disney Floridian Specials
“This is our way of thanking our home-state neighbors for their years of loyalty,” said Al Weiss, president, Worldwide Operations, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “Floridians told us what they wanted, so we’re giving them more flexibility and options that fit the way they visit Walt Disney World.
“Whether ordering a computer, a car or a cup of coffee, people want things customized to fit their individual needs,” Weiss added. “Now our guests have that same ability to customize their Walt Disney World dream vacation, creating the ticket that is just right for them.”
Because “Magic Your Way” tickets offer savings that increase with the length of stay, a weeklong Walt Disney World vacation becomes even more affordable.
“Research shows that longer vacations are high on the wish list for families,” Weiss said. “With so much to see and do at Walt Disney World, guests want to take a week to experience it all, at their own pace. With this plan they can — and at more affordable prices that reward more leisurely stays.
“Simply put,” he said, “the more you play, the less you pay per day.”
Under the “Magic Your Way” program, a family of four can enjoy a six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation — including a stay at an on-property Disney hotel with theme park tickets — starting at $1,696.
More Choices Disney Discounts and Benefits – Specials at Resorts
Staying in the “middle of the magic” at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel has always been the best and most relaxing way to enjoy a Walt Disney World vacation. And now Disney hotel guests get great new benefits, too, including more time in the parks and a convenient and affordable dining plan:
Extra Magic Hours: One of Disney’s theme parks opens one hour early or stays open three hours later so Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions. In addition, both Disney water parks open one hour early for guests at select Disney Resort hotels. (A valid theme park and water park ticket and Resort ID are required.)
Disney Dining Plan: Disney hotel guests who want the convenience of a more-inclusive “cruise-style” vacation can purchase the “Magic Your Way” Package Plus Dining. In 2009 three plan choices are offered to satisfy different budgets and appetites. All include at least two meals and a snack for each night of the guest’s resort stay. Savings and restaurant choices vary.
Disney’s Magical Express: Guests of 23 Disney owned-and-operated hotels can check their bags at their hometown airport, bypass baggage claim at Orlando International Airport (OIA) and board deluxe motor coaches for complimentary transportation to the Vacation Kingdom, where their bags “magically” appear in their room upon check-in.
With 23 uniquely themed Disney resorts — Disney Value, Disney Moderate, Disney Deluxe and Disney Deluxe Villas — Walt Disney World Resort offers accommodations for every taste and budget.
