If you’re looking to save some serious money on your next Disney World vacation, you might consider this ticket deal that comes with a catch.
Theme Park Ticket
Disney World has a TON of discounts for the summer. From discounted hotel stays to free dining for kids, there are a lot of ways to save on your next vacatoin. You can now get cheaper tickets if you visit the theme parks later in the day. We’re breaking down all the details of the ticket deal and who should take advantage of it.
The afternoon ticket is a discounted ticket that will allow guests to visit parks after 2 PM. It covers all four parks, so you can pick one with your ticket (yes, you can use it to go to Magic Kingdom!). You can get a discount on a 2-day or 3-day ticket, with admission to one park per day after 2 PM, valid for dates from May 26th through July 29th.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Pricing for the tickets depends on the start day, but a 2-day ticket will run anywhere from $118 per day to $156 per day. The cheapest dates are from mid-July through the end of that month. A 3-day ticket will run anywhere from $116 per day to $154 per day, with late July offering the lowest prices. This is a discount of around $30 to $50 per day from the standard all-day ticket.
EPCOT
The afternoon ticket is a great option for locals who live near Disney World, but are not Annual Passholders. If you want to come to the park after work to grab dinner or ride a few of your favorite attractions, this would be a great deal for you.
Tower of Terror
Disney parents, if you know that your kids will get burned out on 13 hours at a Disney park, the afternoon ticket might be perfect for you! Disney World can be overstimulating for little ones, and add in the heat of the summer — you might have grumpy kids before it’s even noon. If you want a slow start to your Disney day with your kids by the pool or enjoying a character breakfast, then hitting the parks, this ticket gives you that flexibility.

“it’s a small world”
Say you are in the Orlando area for a work trip or visiting family or friends, and you just want to pop over to Disney World. This is a great deal if you aren’t looking to do a full Disney World trip, but instead are just in the area and want to take advantage of a few free evenings.
EPCOT
If you are someone who wants to sleep in and leave the rope drop chaos to everyone else, this ticket might be for you. During the evening, wait times can drop as well. If you want to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass with the afternoon ticket, you could stack your Lightning Lanes for the evening. You could enjoy lower wait times, cooler temperatures, and the nighttime shows like Fantasmic! or Happily Ever After.
Happily Ever After
