Do you have to pay for rides at Walt Disney World or is it just the entrance fee?
You only need to pay a ticket fee to access the rides at Disney World. However, there are a few things to be aware of.First, Disney World is made up of six different parks. The main four are Magic Kingdom (which is similar to Disneyland), Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. Disney World also has two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach), as well as a wide spread of resorts and other entertainment options. Focusing specifically on the main parks, there are several different ticket options available:Single Park Tickets - These give you one day or multiple day entry to one of the parks. With this ticket, you can access a park of choice, but not any of the others without purchasing another ticket or upgrading.Multi-Day One Park Tickets - These tickets are part of a recent promotion where guests can access to all four of the parks over the course of four days. In this package, you can only access one park per day, but you will get to see all four parks. Overall, it’s a good value.Park Hopper Tickets - Tickets with a Park Hopper option allow you to visit multiple parks per day. Particularly if you are visiting in the off-season, this can be great if you’d like to visit one park in the morning and another in the evening, such as spending half a day at Magic Kingdom then dining in the evening at Epcot.Once you have admission to the parks, you can access all the rides in that park (with the exception of any that are under refurbishment or rides where a member of your party doesn’t meet the height restriction). You will need to bring money for food and any souvenirs you want to purchase, but none of the rides charge for entry.Disney does have a number of “upcharge” experiences which are becoming more common in the parks. These are things like special parking, special buses, behind the scenes tours, and special seating events for fireworks that guests pay extra for. However, not doing these experiences won’t prevent you from enjoying the rides and entertainment.Enjoy this answer?

How much are Disneyland tickets at the gate?
Depends on how many days you stay, your age, and if you want to "park hop" between Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure.In 2015, a 1-day, 1-park ticket for someone aged 10 or more ran $99. (A child's comparable ticket was $93).A 3-day Park Hopper ticket for guests aged 10+ was $235, while a child's comparable ticket was $224. But buying that 3rd day also entitles guests to "Magic Morning" admission, or an hour's early entrance to the parks on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday mornings. Only selected attractions will be operating, but lines should be dramatically shorter.You can calculate ticket prices at Disney's website: Theme Park Tickets. I also strongly recommend getting your tickets ahead of time, rather than at the gate when you arrive. You want to get into the park, not wait around in lines at the ticket booths!.As of May 2018, Disney had introduced a dynamic pricing system for one-day tickets. “Value” days (usually during the week or times when Disney expects fewer guests) start at $97 for an adult. “Regular” tickets start at $117, while “Peak” tickets start at $135.
Walt Disney World Kid's Ticket Question?
i take my niece who is 2 1/2 and she has never been ID'd. i also took my other niece (who is now 6) but when she was 3, or maybe she had just turned 3, she also was not ID'd. They do not do such a thing at the gate. I like to think that age is important when they are 10, because they will most definitely be doing more than a 3 year old, but I'm not the one to make the rules. I wish they had a different system for such young children. Is she JUST turning 3 ? She'll be 3 only for your last 2 days ? Then she's 2 for the majority of your trip, right?. There have never been any "age police" at Disney at the entrance gates. It's always been an honesty thing. I say don't bother with the ticket. She's 2. But if she were a tall child, 3 going on 4, or a tall 9 going on 10, well, that might be a stretch..
Do you need a ticket to Walt Disney World in order to get into the Downtown Disney area?
Trick question. There is actually no such thing as a ticket to Disney World - the entire resort is twice the size of Manatthan and bisected by state highways. It contains six gated and ticketed parks (four theme parks and two waterparks), but other than that no major area requires a ticket, including Downtown Disney.There is a bit of a caveat to this - Downtown Disney does feature stuff like Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba, a movie theater, a huge arcade, a tiny carousel and various other things that require paying and may involve tickets. Just the same, going to Fantasia Gardens mini-golf requires no ticket, but you'll need to pay to get a tee time. You know, stuff you'd expect to pay for anywhere else, but none of these amounts to more than roughly one building.
How strict is Disney World on age requirements for tickets?
If they feel they have any reason to be suspicious then they WILL ask her how old she is. If she is being chatty while going through the turnstiles then there is a chance they will think something is up. *Probably* the worst that would happen at that point is they will turn you back to the ticket booths and make you buy her a ticket, but you should keep in mind that they have the authority to go so far as to deny you entry to the park at all if they so choose. I have a three-year-old niece who I'm taking to Disney World soon, and although she is quite tiny for her age and could easily pass for two, I am still going to buy her a child's ticket because I don't want to take ANY risks that might end up ruining my vacation. Plus in my family we believe in honesty and that it wouldn't be fair of us to break the rules just because we can when others are paying full price like they're supposed to. Once you're in the park no one is going to ask questions.
How much can Disney charge for park tickets?
The very first time I visited Disney World was in 1976 and I was 6 years old. At that time I can remember my dad buying ticket books so we could go on rides such as Dumbo, the Tea Cups, and Space Mountain. According to various sites on the web, admission at the time was $6 per adult and $3 per child. So for our family of 4 it would have cost us $18 to get my Father, Mother, Me and younger brother admission to the Magic Kingdom. Then we had to buy the ticket books and that was another $15.50 so a total of $33.50 to spend the day at Disney World. Adjusted for inflation that would mean on that day my father spent almost $150 to take us all to Disney World, or $37.50 per person.The next time I visited Walt Disney World (and paid full price) was in 1992 for my honeymoon. My wife and I spent just one day at Epcot and paid $34 each for a one day one park ticket. Adjusted for inflation this comes to $120 for the 2 of us or $60 per personI worked for Walt Disney World from 1996 until 2000. When I left the price of a one day one park ticket was $46. Adjusted for inflation that brings the price to $66 per personIn 2017, I took my family of 4 to Disney World. My 2 sons are now teenagers. The oldest was born while I was working at Disney, but has no memory of it so for both of them it was going to be their first time. In 2017 the price of a one day one park ticket would have cost me $115 per person to go to just the Magic Kingdom. However we stayed on property and took advantage of the multiple day park passes with park hopper. The entire vacation cost us just a hair over $4000 for a total of 6 nights at the hotel and 5 days of park admission. Thus just a few pennies over $200 per day, per person which included 6 nights of sleep. In my humble opinion, $200 a day per person is not that expensive of a price to pay for a vacation.As long as people continue to look at it this way, Disney will keep gradually raising their prices.
How much did it cost to build Walt Disney World?
There are many great sites to find this information. One site, Disney by the Numb3rs, is hosted by Tony Casanova. But overall the initial cost to build the WDW resort which was only two hotels (The Contemporary and The Polynesian), a monorail and the Magic Kingdom was $331,000,000. Of that figure $5,000,000 ($180/acre until it was discovered that Disney was the buyer) was the land purchase. In contrast it cost close to $1,000,000,000 to build Animal Kingdom which opened in 1998. Of course the land had already been purchased. All figures are approximate as Disney does not usually advertise their costs and are not adjusted for inflation as far as I know.
Disneyland 1966 E ticket booklet - whats it worth?
The best thing to do is sell it on ebay. I took one of the tours at Disneyland not too long ago. They took us to the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and they have the booklets on display there. I asked how much they were worth, because I have a few books at home. The guide told us that Disney does not buy them, but if you bring them the book, they will give you a free pass to get in to Disneyland. So the price for a book is about $85 if you bring it to Disneyland. The guide said the best thing to do is sell them on ebay, but they are priceless to the right people.
