Hi there, Rachel!
Welcome to planDisney...I'm so glad you're here! Can you believe your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth begins TOMORROW?! That definitely calls for a celebration! WOOHOO!! Let's dive right into your question so you'll be all set and ready for fun the moment you arrive.
There are a couple of ways to purchase a one-day theme park ticket with the Park Hopper option. As you mentioned, tickets can be bought at the entrance of any Walt Disney World theme park, as long as the park hasn't reached capacity. However, I recommend purchasing your ticket through the official
Walt Disney World website once you arrive in the United States. This allows you to select the date and starting park for your visit, add the Park Hopper option, and most importantly, guarantee your park entry for the day.
Before you get back to the all-important task of deciding how many pairs of Mickey ears to pack — spoiler alert: there's no such thing as too many! — don't forget to download the
My Disney Experience app to your mobile device. This handy Mouseketool will let you purchase and select
Lightning Lane experiences, place
Mobile Food & Beverage orders, check attraction wait times, view your
PhotoPass photos, and so much more to help make your visit practically perfect in every way!
Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, Rachel! Have a MAGICAL vacation!
See ya real soon,
Kami
