This shares data & particulars in regards to the limited-time provide, commentary about this Floridian particular provide, return of Annual Passes, and historic comparisons.
That is considered one of a number of new offers; in case you additionally want so as to add a resort keep, Walt Disney World already launched reductions of as much as 30% off for Florida residents by July 7, 2024. If historic precedent is any indication, offers for later in July by September 2024 will likely be launched quickly, and will provide even higher financial savings. There are many different reductions obtainable proper now at Walt Disney World that run by Christmas 2024.
Between these resort reductions and this particular provide on tickets, Florida residents can go to Walt Disney World this summer time and early fall and really have spend much less cash than the identical dates and expertise would’ve value in 2022 (costs are up barely as in comparison with 2023). It’s comparatively unprecedented for value decreases at Walt Disney World, however that’s exactly what we’ve been seeing when evaluating 2024 prices to 2022.
By way of the small print, this 2024 Walt Disney World ticket deal will provide Florida residents the power to purchase a 4-Day Disney Uncover Ticket for simply $59 per day, plus tax (complete value: $235 plus tax). A specifically priced 3-day ticket can also be obtainable.

Proof of Florida residency required. All adults might want to present proof of Florida residency at park entrance. Each a theme park reservation by way of the Disney Park Cross system and legitimate theme park admission for a similar park on the identical date are required.
Right here’s a visible chart which may make the information simpler to digest:
You too can buy a Disney Summer time Magic Ticket that features these nice choices:

For those who’re making an attempt to decide on the most effective dates to go to or ones to keep away from, seek the advice of our 2024 Walt Disney World Crowd Calendars. There are going to be many dates which have low crowds throughout this Floridian ticket promo, together with however not restricted to the complete month of Might up till Memorial Day weekend in addition to the second week in August by the top of the ticket promo.
Past these date ranges, the second half of April additionally shouldn’t be too unhealthy nor ought to the primary half of June. Each of these are extra of wildcards, although; Spring Break could have stragglers that preserve crowds elevated till the second half of April.
A fair larger unknown is what Walt Disney World does in late Might or early June. They may do a summer time kickoff with a brand new particular occasion, Encanto leisure, the opening of CommuniCore Corridor, and extra. The second half of June may even doubtless convey with it the debut of Tiana’s Bayou Journey, with previews previous to that.
Past that, summer time crowds are difficult to foretell. Walt Disney World hasn’t had a really “regular” summer time season since 2018. Final 12 months, the climate was tough and blockouts on reductions (like this identical ticket deal) disrupted crowd dynamics. The 12 months prior, pent-up demand collided with hovering gasoline costs and resulted in an earlier peak than regular.
The 12 months earlier than that, the publish reopening rush hit a wall as a result of delta variant. The 12 months earlier than that, the parks had been closed earlier than reopening to very low crowds and capability constraints. Even again in 2019, the looming opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge threw a monkey wrench into attendance dynamics, as many followers waited for that.
Nonetheless, we’re beginning to assume that Summer time 2024 will be the 12 months that Walt Disney World will get again on observe with common attendance traits. It’s been so lengthy since we’ve seen a “regular” summer time that we don’t even actually know what one would seem like, however no matter it’s, this 12 months might be it!
Largely, that’s as a result of Walt Disney World has fine-tuned its strategy to blockouts and pricing. Summer time costs are arguably nonetheless a bit too aggressive relative to demand, however there isn’t the identical unevenness as final 12 months. Particularly, you may discover that this ticket deal doesn’t have blockouts for Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Labor Day weekends. That alone, small as it could appear (particularly since park reservations are nonetheless in place for this ticket), is progress!
As we’ve talked about elsewhere, Memorial Day and Labor Day are already below-average vacation weekends, and Fourth of July isn’t almost as unhealthy because it was. So not blocking these dates out makes full sense–particularly after the softness over these holidays final 12 months.
This isn’t the primary Florida resident low cost of the 12 months. The primary choice was the 2024 Florida Resident Disney Thrills Tickets, priced at $199 for a 2-day ticket or $219 for a 3-day ticket.
Final summer time and fall, the ticket deal (akin to this one) was $209 for 3-day tickets or $229 for 4-day tickets. So the value is greater this 12 months, however not by an entire lot, and likewise, there aren’t any blockouts for the aforementioned summer time holidays.
Going again additional, Walt Disney World supplied a 2-Day Disney Weekday Magic Ticket for $175 plus tax, or a 3-Day Disney Weekday Magic Ticket for $195 plus tax final winter and spring. That was considerably cheaper than the 2024 deal, however it was additionally weekdays solely.
The 2022 Disney Weekday Magic Ticket low cost was comparable, simply cheaper. These 2-Day Florida Resident tickets value $149, the 3-Day model was $179, and the 4-Day Florida Resident ticket choice value $199. Moreover, there have been fewer blockout dates.
Again in 2021, Florida resident ticket costs for the primary half of the 12 months had been $149 for 2-day tickets, $179 for 3-day tickets, and $199 for 4-day tickets. (These had extra blockout dates–however had been additionally obtainable throughout a busier season.)
Publish-reopening, Florida Resident Uncover Tickets began at $130 per ticket for the 2-day ticket. The three-day choice was $174 per ticket and the 4-day Florida Resident Disney Magic Flex Ticket was $195 per ticket. None of these tickets had been restricted to weekdays-only.
There are a few attention-grabbing modifications right here. The primary is that this ticket deal is as soon as once more not restricted to weekdays-only. That is going to be necessary to many Floridians; working 9-5 jobs Monday by Friday made the prior two resident tickets non-starters for a lot of followers.
For our half, we’re happy to see Walt Disney World not block out weekends. For the final 12 months, Saturday and Sundays have been the least-busy days of the week at Walt Disney World, which is a development partially because of ticket deal blockouts. That development has began to alter in 2024 as Disney has (belatedly) realized that weekends have been slower.
In the end, the Disney Uncover Florida Resident Ticket provide is one of the best ways for locals to avoid wasting on park admission proper now…except you’ll get sufficient mileage out of an Annual Cross to make that well worth the cash. Frankly, we suspect that’ll be true for a lot of Floridians who’ve an curiosity in Walt Disney World.
On a optimistic word, not less than this ticket is beginning on April 2, 2024. That’s over a month sooner than final 12 months, when it started on Might 16. Whereas I personally would wish to use my restricted admissions strategically–and thus not throughout Spring Break season–I may positively see prioritizing the second half of April and early Might, earlier than the summer time warmth and humidity arrive in full drive. Possibly saving my final couple of visits till Tiana’s Bayou Journey opens and the brand new (potential) summer time celebration begins in June 2024.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see what occurs this summer time at Walt Disney World with attendance. Whereas this isn’t going to considerably transfer the needle on total crowd ranges, it being legitimate on a regular basis–together with weekends and holidays–means there doubtless received’t be bizarre quirks or sudden drops throughout instances that may in any other case be busy. (The brand new Magic Tickets for most people additionally assist make sure that.)
This needs to be an attention-grabbing saga to observe, and it’s nearly sure that we haven’t seen the top of Walt Disney World’s efforts to woo again former followers and pull “levers” to incentivize extra demand and visitor spending. Keep tuned–there’s certainly extra to come back within the days, weeks, and months forward! We’ll proceed carefully monitoring what’s launched and will notify subscribers of our free e mail publication when any Walt Disney World reductions are launched or rumored!
