Greetings Maria!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I also travel to the Walt Disney World from abroad (I live in Brazil), so hopefully I can help you with your questions.
All tickets have the same price, whether you choose to purchase them online or at any ticket window at the Walt Disney World Resort. That is why I recommend buying your theme park admission tickets and any options online as soon as possible to be able to make
FastPass+ selections in advance. You are able to make selections 30 days before or visit or up to 60 days in advance if you stay at a Disney Resort hotel.
If you purchase tickets online you will receive an electronic ticket. You can link the tickets to your
My Disney Experience account to make FastPass+ selections. You can print this voucher and redeem your physical card tickets upon arrival at any Will Call window at the entrance of all theme parks or at Guest Relations at Disney Springs. If you purchase tickets when you are signed in to your Disney account, the tickets will be automatically linked to your account, so also show up at the Will Call windows or
Guest Relations at Disney Springs to get your physical tickets. In case you have
MagicBands from a previous visit, make sure they are active and when you link your tickets to your account, they will be automatically linked to them. If you have any technical difficulties with your MagicBands, just ask any Cast Member for help and they will gladly assist you.
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Maria! I hope this helps you while planning.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
