Buying Disney World Tickets Direct From Disney UK
Two of three Disney World ticket types can be bought directly with the Walt Disney World Travel Company in the UK:

Buying direct with Disney offers peace of mind for most people and buying both types of tickets can be done by phone. Magic Tickets can be bought online opens in a new tabin GBP, but not all special event tickets are sold online direct in the UK.

Buy Magic Tickets As Part Of A Package Holiday With Disney Direct
Booking a package holiday with Disney directly gives you the chance to add a Magic Ticket into your package holiday booking, but separate ticketed events are not available to bundle in your package holiday.
Magic Tickets can also be bought as part of a holiday package as an add on when booking, which means you can get ABTA or ATOL protection for tickets too. To get the UK free dining and drinks offer in 2027 you have to buy a Magic Ticket and hotel together, but this can also be done through a travel agent and not only direct with Disney in the UK.

Good Offers: Disney direct in the UK have competitive offers that reduce the base cost of the Magic Ticket. |

Buying with a third party ticket seller has unique pros and cons:
Pros | Cons |

Deposits are as low as £25-£50 per person. | Customer Service: If you have a problem with your tickets and you didn’t book directly with Disney you will be referred back to your booking agent. |
Variety of attractions in combo ticket options: makes ticket bookings easier with only one reference number to manage and possible payment options | Linking Tickets: Trickier and takes longer. You might find you get an email with a booking reference followed by an email a day or two later with the Disney Ticket reference needed for the app. |
Discounts and Deals: Competitive deals are regularly offered by third party sellers and apply to all 3 ticket types. | No instalment plan for Separate Event Tickets |
When you’re looking for a ticket only booking or a combo-ticket, third-party vendors are a good option to consider. Third party vendors are the best buying option for:
- combination tickets

Buying Magic Tickets As An Extra Add-On To A Package Holiday
Another option is to buy your tickets at the same time as you buy your holiday, therefore booking your ticket through a travel agent such as:
- Virgin Holidays
- TUI
The only type of Disney tickets available as an add-on with these travel agents are UK Magic Tickets which you can read more about in our Magic Ticket guide.
Pros and cons of booking tickets with travel agents
Choosing to book Magic Tickets this way does have pros and cons:
Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Low Deposit Schemes: You can pay a low deposit for your package and pay the whole holiday off a few weeks before. No juggling payment plans: it’s all in one place. | Customer Service: If you have a problem with your tickets and you didn’t book directly with Disney you will be referred back to your travel agent. |
Peace of mind: You don’t end up questioning whether you have a “real ticket” | Linking Tickets: It can take longer to link tickets as you have to wait to be sent the reference for your tickets. But agents often provide support for linking your tickets if you need it. |

Tips For Buying Tickets
If an offer sounds too good to be true and isn’t from a trusted vendor, trust your instincts. Here are a couple of tips I always follow:
- Never buy your Magic Tickets part used as tickets are non-transferrable. Disney tickets are digital and linked to fingerprints, so If you buy a partially used ticket, you will be turned away at the gate.
- Buying from places like Facebook Marketplace is not something to consider.
- Always look for official Disney World ticket partnerships when buying with third party vendors
