It's important to note your parking spot using theme-specific icons to avoid losing your car. Alternatively, bus services provide a convenient option, though be mindful of their schedules.
Pass options
Various ticket options are available to maximize your theme park experience: single-day or multi-day passes, access to one or multiple parks, and the option to add water park entry on the same day or skip the lines.
Multi-day passes save money compared to daily admission and offer greater flexibility to explore different theme parks at your leisure, including parks with later closing times !
Among the available passes, you’ll find the Disney theme park pass or the "Orlando Flex Ticket," which grants access to 5 or 6 attractions depending on the package.
