1 January 2005
With
the new "Magic Your Way" ticket plan, guests create their own ticket
for their perfect Walt Disney World vacation -- whether that
includes seven days of theme park fun, or water park action, or a
night on the town at Downtown Disney.
Creating a custom ticket is easy. First, guests choose the number of
days they want on a base ticket that allows them to visit one theme
park each day. Then they can select from a menu of ticket options
that includes:
- Park Hopper Option: Adding the Park Hopper option lets
guests come and go as they please through all four Walt Disney
World theme parks each day for the length of their ticket. Extra
cost to the base-price ticket: $35 -- or just $5 per day on a
seven-day ticket.
- Magic Plus Pack Option: For Disney fun beyond the four theme
parks, this option provides the choice of admission to Disney's
Blizzard Beach water park, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park,
DisneyQuest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or Disney's Wide
World of Sports Complex. Extra cost to the base-price ticket:
$45 (includes 2-5 visits to these other attractions, depending
on the number of base ticket days purchased).
- No Expiration Option: "Magic Your Way" tickets expire 14
days after their first use. Electing the "no expiration" option
means the guest is free to come back and take advantage of
unused ticket entitlements at any time. Extra cost to the
base-price ticket: $10 if 2-day ticket purchased, up to $55 if
7-day ticket purchased.
- "Magic Your Way" Premium Ticket: To capture all that Walt
Disney World Resort has to offer, this ticket combines the
benefits of Park Hopper and Magic Plus Pack options.
- Advance Purchase Savings: The savings benefit gets even
sweeter when guests purchase 5-, 6- or 7-day "Magic Your Way"
Premium Tickets -- before leaving home.
Effective January 2 2005

3 December 2004: Magic Your Way announcement ceremony
Above: DISNEY WORLD ANNOUNCES "MAGIC YOUR WAY" TICKETING --
In the shadow of the famed theme park castle icon, master builder
Bryan Berg puts the finishing touches on a 14-foot-tall replica of
Cinderella Castle -- made entirely of Disney theme park tickets --
Thursday Dec. 2, 2004, at the Magic Kingdom. It was all part of
Disney's announcement of an innovative and new year-round ticket
plan called "Magic Your Way." At 162,000 tickets, Berg's month-long
project was deemed a Guinness World Record as the "world's largest
card structure" at the ceremony by Guinness official Stuart E.F.
Claxton. Following the Guinness World Records certification, the
card castle came crumbling down as will theme park tickets (as low
as $29 a day for a seven-day stay). Starting Jan. 2, 2005, "Magic
Your Way" tickets and vacations will allow guests to totally
customize their Disney visits by creating their own tickets and
packages. The Magic Kingdom is one of four theme parks at Walt
Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Photo: Kent

Buena Vista, Fla. The ceremony was in honor of the world record for
"largest card structure" -- a 14-foot-tall replica of Cinderella
Castle made entirely of 162,000 Disney theme park tickets. It was
all part of Thursday's announcement at the Florida Vacation Kingdom
as Walt Disney World Resort announced a new, customized ticket plan
called "Magic Your Way." After Claxton verified the world record,
the card castle came crumbling down to represent falling theme park
ticket prices, which will be as low as $29 a day for a seven-day
Walt Disney World stay. Starting Jan. 2, 2005, "Magic Your Way"
tickets and vacations will allow guests to customize their Disney
visits by creating their own tickets and packages. (Photo: Kent

3 December 2004: Now It’s ‘Magic Your Way’ at Walt Disney World
Resort: New Tickets Let Guests Customize Their Dream Vacation
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2004) -- Disney today announced an
innovative new ticket plan – “Magic Your Way” – that allows Walt
Disney World guests to create their own tickets for a customized
vacation.
Starting Jan. 2, guests at Walt Disney World Resort will be able
to purchase tickets to the various theme parks, attractions and
other entertainment offerings that are tailored to the length of
their vacation and the interests of their group – and allow them to
save more per day based on their length of stay.
“Whether ordering a computer, a car or a cup of coffee, people want
things customized to fit their individual needs,” said Walt Disney
World President Al Weiss. “And now Walt Disney World guests will
have that same ability to customize their dream vacation, creating
the ticket that is just right for them.”
And because “Magic Your Way” tickets offer savings that increase
with the length of stay, a weeklong Walt Disney World vacation
becomes even more affordable.
“Recent 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 new 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 this new program, a family of four will be able to enjoy a
six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation – including a stay at
an on-property Disney hotel with theme park tickets – for as little
as $1,500.
Even More Choices: Disney Resorts, Benefits
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: Each day the gates of one of Disney’s magical
theme parks open one hour early or stay open three hours later so
Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions. (A valid
theme 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. For each night of their resort stay
guests can enjoy two meals and a snack at more than 100 select
restaurants throughout the Walt Disney World parks and hotels.
With more than 20 uniquely themed Disney resorts – Value, Moderate,
Deluxe and Disney Vacation Club – Walt Disney World offers
accommodations for every taste and budget. Now that a longer Disney
vacation has become even more affordable, Disney resort guests will
be able to enjoy their hotel like never before – spending quality “R
& R” hours between park visits, whether it’s pool time, a quick nap,
shopping or meals.
Florida Residents Find New Values
The “Magic Your Way” ticket plan also includes special values for
Florida residents who sometimes make shorter but more frequent
visits.
Residents can choose from three savings options:
• A third day free with the purchase of a two-day ticket.
• Or 10 percent savings on a one-day base ticket.
• Or free “Park Hopper” option added to a full-price one-day ticket.
“This is our way of thanking our home-state neighbors for their
years of loyalty,” Weiss said. “Floridians told us what they wanted,
so we’re giving them more flexibility and options that fit the way
they visit Walt Disney World.”
“The Happiest Celebration on Earth”
New values and benefits come at a perfect time, as Walt Disney World
Resort prepares to launch “The Happiest Celebration on Earth,”
marking 50 years of Disney theme park magic since Disneyland opened
in 1955.
Beginning May 5, 2005, Walt Disney World is importing attractions
from Disney parks around the globe to mark the occasion:
• At Disney-MGM Studios, a high-octane stunt show filled with
speeding cars, motorcycles and jet skis comes direct from Disneyland
Resort Paris.
• At Epcot, a soaring adventure over California comes from
Disneyland Resort.
• At Magic Kingdom, a magical, musical “Cinderellabration” takes its
cue from the popular Tokyo Disney Resort show.
• And at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Lucky the dinosaur walks straight
out of the secret labs of Walt Disney Imagineering.
“Magic Your Way” Easy to Book
“Magic Your Way” tickets go on sale beginning Jan. 2. Until then,
guests can find more information at www.disneyworld.com. Also
beginning Jan. 2, a new step-by-step, shopping cart-style process on
disneyworld.com makes it easy to customize and book a dream Walt
Disney World vacation. Or guests can contact 407/W-DISNEY or their
travel agent to book the magic – their way.
Creating Your Ticket … Your Way
‘Magic Your Way’ Fact Sheet
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – With the new “Magic Your Way” ticket
plan, guests create their own ticket for their perfect Walt Disney
World vacation – whether that includes seven days of theme park fun,
or water park action, or a night on the town at Downtown Disney.
Creating a custom ticket is easy. First, guests choose the number
of days they want on a base ticket that allows them to visit one
theme park each day. Then they can select from a menu of ticket
options that includes:
Park Hopper Option: Adding the Park Hopper option lets
guests come and go as they please through all four Walt Disney World
theme parks each day for the length of their ticket. Extra cost to
the base-price ticket: $35 – or just $5 per day on a seven-day
ticket.
Magic Plus Pack Option: For Disney fun beyond the four theme
parks, this option provides the choice of admission to Disney’s
Blizzard Beach water park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park,
DisneyQuest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or Disney’s Wide World
of Sports Complex. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $45
(includes 2-5 visits to these other attractions, depending on the
number of base ticket days purchased).
No Expiration Option: “Magic Your Way” tickets expire 14 days
after their first use. Electing the “no expiration” option means the
guest is free to come back and take advantage of unused ticket
entitlements at any time. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $10
if 2-day ticket purchased, up to $55 if 7-day ticket purchased.
“Magic Your Way” Premium Pass: To capture all that Walt
Disney World Resort has to offer, this ticket combines the benefits
of Park Hopper and Magic Plus Pack options.
Advance Purchase Savings: The savings gets even sweeter when
guests purchase 5-, 6- or 7-day “Magic Your Way” tickets with the
Park Hopper or Magic Plus Pack options – or both – before leaving
home.
