There has been a big change to pricing on single-day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets.

This change went into effect with the February 2021 price increase.

One-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets Seasonal Pricing Begins

What changed is that there are now 2 different prices for all Single-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets. Christmas Pricing and Rest of the year.

A Little Background

First let’s look at the history of Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets.

Magic Your Way Tickets are what Disney calls Walt Disney World’s theme park tickets, these are what are available to the general public.

Military Resellers (Base Ticket Offices and Shades of Green) offer these at a slight discount. There is no official name for these other than the street name, so I call them Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets to distinguish them from the more highly discounted Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets.

These tickets have always been available, even way back into the pre-historic years of the beginning of my military career in the 1980s.

The Disney Armed Forces Salute Tickets are a newer product that started in 2009.

Magic Your Way Tickets come in one to ten-day lengths. The Base Ticket, as it is called, allows entry into one theme park per day for the specified number of days. You may leave and re-enter the same park as many times as you’d like during the same day.

There are both adult (age 10+) and children’s (ages 3-9) versions of these tickets.

A Little History

Disney World switched general public single-day tickets to date based “Tiered Pricing” in February 2016.

Then in October 2018 Disney World will began “Tiered Pricing” for general public multi-day Magic Your Way Tickets.

Tiered Pricing means that different days of the year are priced differently, in one of 5 price seasons or tiers.

There are five general public price “seasons”: Low, Value, Regular, Peak, and Holiday. Each day of the year is assigned a price season ahead of time. Some seasons are big blocks of time, mostly each week has its own price season, and occasionally an individual week might have several different price seasons in it.

The seasons and their prices correspond to how busy it will be (how much demand there is for entrance). Low attendance days are cheapest, while the reverse is true for the busiest days. The reasoning behind this is to draw attendance away from when the parks are too busy to times that they desire to boost attendance. Disney does this with their resort room prices as well.

The Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets did not convert to tiered pricing in either 2016 0r 2018. Instead sticking to a single price based on ticket length and options for the whole year.

But Starting with the February 2021 price increase Single-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets now have 2 tiers.

The naming convention for these is backwards if you ask me! But here they are:

  • The “Seasonal” 1-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets are valid all year, except at Christmas time. These are cheaper!
  • The regular (non-Seasonal) 1-Day Regular Military Discounted Magic Your Way Tickets are valid all year, including Christmas time. There are more expensive!

Don’t blame me for the naming convention! It seems to me the cheaper ones that you would use most of the year would be the regular ones and the more expensive ones that you would only need to use during the Christmas “Season” would be called the “seasonal” ones… But that’s just me.

Note the more expensive versions only needs to be used during the Seasonal Blockout dates.

Prices

Prices at your local Base Ticket Office will be very similar (within a few dollars) to these prices at Shades of Green’s Ticket Office.

Wrapping It Up

So just to make it clear, normally you would use the cheaper seasonal versions of these tickets, unless your date of use falls between 18 December 2021 – 31 December 2021 or 17 December 2022 – 31December 2022.

If your date of use falls within those Christmas dates, then you would use the non-seasonal, more expensive ones…
