While Disneyland resort is preparing for a packed summer thanks to the debut of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Walt Disney World is using some new discounts and deals to try and get guests to the resort this summer before their own version of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens on August 29th. And now Disney has announced a new, deeply-discounted ticket type that includes six admissions over the summer for one low price. But there are quite a few restrictions you should probably know about…
Introducing the Summer One World Ticket
This summer Disney is offering all guests (not just Florida residents) the opportunity to purchase a special Summer One World Ticket, which includes a single day’s admission to Walt Disney World‘s resort’s four theme parks and two water parks, for a total of six admissions for only $74 per admission (plus tax) – a total price of $444 (plus tax). These new tickets will be available to purchase from June 4 through August 23, and can be used between June 4th and August 28th.
Park hopping and admissions restrictions
The Summer One World Ticket includes a total of six admissions to one theme park each, so guests have some flexibility in how they use them. Technically, park hopping is not included, but in theory you could use two of your admissions in one day to visit two parks. However, you can only visit one park per admission, so if you visit the Magic Kingdom in the morning and then hit Typhoon Lagoon in the afternoon, you cannot return to the Magic Kingdom later that day, since you have already used your single admission. Because of this, it is best to plan your visits strategically so you can get the most out of each of your admissions and can get a full 6 days out of this value ticket.

Though Disney already has a number of hotel room discounts available for guests visiting the resort this summer, they are offering a special deal for guests who purchase the Summer One World Ticket along with a Disney resort hotel stay. Guests who purchase these tickets as part of a package can save up to 25 percent on rooms at select Disney resort hotels for stays most nights May 28, 2019, through Aug. 28, 2019, when booked through the end of the promotional period.
If you don’t use your tickets before the expiration date, the ticket can be upgraded
Though these tickets are a very good deal, if you find yourself in a situation where you can’t use any of the 6 admissions over the summer the price paid for a wholly unused ticket can be applied to the purchase of a new ticket with an equal or higher price. However, if you use only one of your six admissions, you cannot use any partial value of the ticket if you don’t use all of the admissions by August 28th, so you’ll definitely make sure you clear your calendar this summer so you can get to Walt Disney World.
Though we’re used to seeing some summer-only discounts for Walt Disney World, the addition of this brand new ticket deal is definitely one of the best limited-time offers we’ve seen in recent years, and the fact that it is a completely unrestricted offer (unlike other discounted ticket deals, which are often only available for Florida Residents), make this a ticket deal that guests visiting between June and August would be wise to take advantage of if they can!
