The 10-day pricing looks attractive, but why pay extra money if you're not going to use all 10 days? Because, you can bank the unused days by taking advantage of Disney's No Expiration option. Without the option, the Magic Your Way tickets expire 14 days after their first use. By paying an extra $18 (for a 2-day pass) up to $209 (for the 10-day pass), you can use the remaining days for a future trip. As the name implies, the tickets will be good indefinitely. Let's say you bought a 10-day ticket with the Park Hopper, No Expiration, and Water Park Fun options. That would get you 10 theme park-hopping tickets plus 10 water park passes for a total of $556. That works out to $28 per ticket--not bad. You could use 5 days for a vacation now, and the remaining 5 days for a future trip. Once you're spending that much money, however, you may want to explore Disney's annual pass options ($489 for the theme parks or $619 for the theme and water parks).
Disney used to offer an advance-purchase discount for tickets purchased online at its Web site. It has since eliminated the discount. It still might make sense to purchase tickets in advance, however, since it will save you time waiting in line during your vacation, and the hassle of having to making an impulse decision in the heat of your vacation.
You could order Walt Disney World tickets online from the vendor, Kijubi. As with ordering advance tickets directly from Disney, the minimum number of days available is a three-day pass. To get one- and two-day passes, you'll have to purchase them at the park. Neither Kijubi nor Disney offer an E-ticket (i.e., print-at-home) option. Tickets purchased in advance can either be picked up at the park at no charge (which defeats the benefit of saving time in line) or shipped to your home. Be sure to order tickets at least two weeks in advance of your visit to avoid paying a premium for express shipping. Standard shipping fees are $5. Kijubi sells multi-day advance tickets at the same prices as Walt Disney World. Buy direct.
