The UK-exclusive Disney Magic Tickets are the most cost-effective way for British guests to get access to the Walt Disney World theme parks. You can access all four theme parks, two water parks, and a few extras. All of which is outlined in our Walt Disney World Tickets guide.
You might not know that the 14-day Disney Magic Ticket can be used over 18 days. This means you have access to 14 park days within an 18-day period from your first day. What makes that even better is that water parks do not count as one of those theme park days!
How It Works
When you access any of the four main Disney theme parks (Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom) one day's admission is taken off your 14-day Disney Magic Ticket. However, the Disney Water Parks do NOT count as a day's admission to those four main theme parks. So let's say, for example, if you visit Magic Kingdom Park on day 1, you'll have 13 more theme park days remaining, right? Then on day 2, you decide to visit only Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, which won't use one of those main theme park days. So as long as you don't visit one of the main four theme parks and only visit one of the water parks, you will still have 13 theme park days remaining.
What's Going On Behind The Scenes
What some people might not know (because it's hidden and not displayed to guests) is that every 14-day Disney Magic Ticket has 14 theme park days and 14 water park days access - they are separate from each other. So when you enter one of the four main theme parks, it doesn't touch your Water Park access admissions, and when you visit a Water Park it doesn't touch your four main theme park admissions.
So hypothetically, if you were staying in Orlando for 18 nights, you could visit a Disney theme park for each of those days to get full use of a 14-day Disney Magic Ticket. For example:
Day 1: Magic Kingdom
Day 2: EPCOT
Day 3: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Day 4: Blizzard Beach Or Typhoon Lagoon
Day 5: Magic Kingdom
Day 6: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Day 7: Disney's Animal Kingdom
Day 8: Magic Kingdom
Day 9: EPCOT
Day 10: Disney's Animal Kingdom
Day 11: Blizzard Beach Or Typhoon Lagoon
Day 12: Magic Kingdom
Day 13: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Day 14: Blizzard Beach Or Typhoon Lagoon
Day 15: Magic Kingdom
Day 16: EPCOT
Day 17: Blizzard Beach Or Typhoon Lagoon
Day 18: Magic Kingdom
This is a little-known secret and allows you to extend the holiday a day or two if you want a couple of quieter water park days that will not get in the way of you enjoying 14 days in the main four theme parks.
