Tickets available on the UK website

[Minnie84]

I am interested in purchasing the 14 day ticket. I’m based in the US.

Can someone explain to me how to buy these tickets like I am 5. If I switch the top to US$, the Disney ticket option disappears. If I leave it at UK, how does that work if I am paying with an US$ credit card. Also, what specific credit cards eliminate any foreign transaction fees? I have many to choose from. Thank you!

Go to attraction tickets. Switch the flag to Ireland ( I’ve always paid in Euros since the exchange is slightly better than paying in British pounds).
Select the 14 day tickets. Enter your payment info. I use a US credit card and it just does the exchange into Euros automatically when you purchase. There’s no need to skirt around anything, just enter your info and credit card as normal. Once paid in full, you enter the tickets in your My Disney Experience and you are set to go!

You may need to contact your credit card company to see if they charge an international transaction fee. Some do, some do not. Discover does not, my free Disney Visa does. You can Google the exchange rate to see the conversation to USD. Also, you may have to go to the Disney UK site to link your tickets, I was not able to do it on the US version. However, they do appear there now after using the UK site.

We have success! I've added the 14-day ticket to my Disney account! I can see it and Memory Maker on the regular website! So it all looks like it's worked out.

Here's a timeline of events, which I feel might be helpful for those on the fence:

1:35 AM- paid on the Attraction Tickets website for the tickets. Adding the cost plus the 20 GDP for the cancellation/flex policy and Visa translating it to CAD it was about $1018 CAD. However, it said "there were problems with approving your payment" or something. Nonetheless I got a ticket # (WRITE THIS DOWN!).

Absolutely zero email confirmation, though. And to access your info, you need that #. If I hadn't saved it on that screen when it happened I wouldn't have had any confirmation of anything for about 25 hours. Write down that number!

2:00 AM- the A.T. sale and such is on my Visa account. I check with them later and they confirm it's gone through and A.T. has to do it. Their website just says "pending" and such.

2-5 PM- I send an email to A.T. just to see what's up and if it doesn't go through if I still get charged or something. Just for reassurance.

1:35 AM (next day)- Still nothing, 24 hours after payment. Everyone online is telling me "OMG I would only ever buy tickets right FROM Disney", but I swear I checked here and other sites to confirm it's not a scam site, lol.

2:21 AM- I get a notification that the sale is approved (this is like 10 am London time).

3:16 AM- I get an email response, quoted above. They say that it's approved and Disney should release the tickets around 12:30 PM London time. The website says "awaiting supplier conf" (Why don't they just type the entire word?).

7:21 AM- I get an email- the tickets are ready! I'm at work at this point. It's 2:21-ish London time by that point, so they're only sorta close on the time, assuming that's when it actually went through.

1:00 PM- I am able to put the tickets voucher # into my Disney account using my phone internet (the MDE app wouldn't do it- just directed me to the website). I did in fact have to go on the UK version of the website to do this- no idea why. I tried to do it on the regular site just to see if I could and it said "Request not found" or some weird thing that didn't make sense. Despite knowing about the issue I was still like "uh-oh". To be fair, it explains explicitly ON the voucher which website you're supposed to visit to do this, so if you actually read everything you should know ahead of time.

I double-checked the regular Disney site afterwards and was able to see my tickets under my name and such.

---

I probably should have done the "pretend you're from Ireland and pay Euros" trick, lol. Just checking Google it was 18 bucks CAD less. I just felt like it was maybe being a little TOO cheeky, I dunno- this was stressful enough as it is! meh, only $18.

All in all the tickets would have been about $1200 CAD if I'd paid Disney themselves, so this is about $180 in savings. Not HUGE, but not bad! I'm a retail worker and I'm lucky if I get $330 in the bank at the end of every month after bills, so saving about half of that (plus getting an extra day- I'm there for 11 days and Disney only sells 10-day tickets, max) is kinda worth all the hassle and extra time to do this, plus all the worrying about "did this work? They're not gonna rip me off, are they?". Still I can see why everyone is hesitant about it and thinks it's too good to be true, and it WAS a nuisance. And part of me's still like "oh but what if they suddenly decide you REALLY have to be from the UK?" or something, so I won't even ask them in the parks until I'm ready to go home, lol.

But it all seemed to work! Thanks, everyone!

Huge thanks for your detailed progress! Just purchased tickets. First "hurdle" is my Mastercard requesting a secure code (happens mostly when I buy $$$$ at Ikea ). Code received, entered, accepted, then the wheel spun for a minute, I was just sitting there with my finger lightly touching the screen (prevent screen turning off). Then got this Payment is pending. And remembered some story I read here, so I found it.

I'll try to sleep well tonight, and hope to have step 2 or 3 done when I wake up, around noon London time. Just lucky I did not purchase yesterday, because they are closed Sundays. I'd rather npt spend an extra day in limbo!

Quick follow-up: woke up to 2 emails, 9:23 & 9:38 (UK time), first one being the order confirmation and second because my tickets were ready.

Added the tickets easily using Disneyworld UK on computer, and now they are live in MDE on my phone! All good. I'd recommend but tell evryone that it is a manual processing on the other end with a 5 hours gap.

I used my Sams card last year. It didn’t have a transaction fee. I will call them to make sure nothing has changed before I buy tickets for next year. The only challenge I had was that the charge was flagged or something because it was an international charge so I had to call the card company before it could go through.

The tickets come with a magic band,,,is that just picked up at the resort when you check in?

No, you have to get them from Planet Hollywood in Disney Spring. It's really not something arranged with Disney itself.

Strange,,,but good to know,,,thank you,,,,are they the genaric grey or is there a choice?

When we got ours last year, they were all solid teal…. No choice

I'm going next week. I can update on colours once we have picked them up.

if you plan to book MPLL - the UK ticket (especially the 14 day one) will give you an advantage even if staying off-site. My mom has one for our upcoming trip. I noticed that starting 3 days before our trip - she can book MPLL for any day that her ticket is valid.

…we won’t be doing this though, as I’m an AP and I can only book 3 days in advance (unless we are staying onsite, then it is 7 days in advance for length of stay)

Hi @rewok_new , can you please say if the magic bands available were the Teal ones? Thank you

 

[Palendat]

Does anyone have a photo of the free Magic band that are included on the Attraction Tickets website? Are they plain blue as show in the photo on the website or can you choose?

They say they are the basic teal/light blue ones on all the paperwork they send. Not a Magic Band Plus. I'll be there in about 3 weeks, I can report back if no one else responds. I did buy my tickets through them.

Those are what we got in April 2024, no choice.

Sorry! We forgot our vouchers the day we went to Disney Springs and never got them. We already had our MagicBands+ we chose the previous year.

So I wanted to come and post an update. We used these tickets on our trip in mid October with no issues at all. We had purchased the tickets when the promo was 14 days for the price of 7 and used a 7% discount code. In the end they were less expensive than four day base tickets for us ( our dates weren’t covered by the Canadian ticket discount when we purchased).

Hurricane Milton hit Florida just as we were about to leave for our trip. In the end we delayed the start of our trip from a Friday departure to leave on Sunday. We then added two days to the end of the trip. We weren’t able to extend our stay at Bonnet Creek so we added on two days at Art of Animation.

On the day we checked in to AoA my daughter noticed that our tickets all of a sudden had an October 2025 expiry on the app, and our water park entitlements were 357 days! We thought it was a glitch at first but when it was still there the next day we looked into it.

Disney had extended the expiry dates on the unused days on our tickets because of the interruption from the hurricane!!! We didn’t ask for this … apparently they did it for everyone whose trips were impacted during that time. But because we had originally had 14 day tickets (we only ever planned to use 7 days), we now have another 7 days of tickets and water park entrances good until next October !!! So obviously I had to book a Bounceback . We’re going to back next September and staying at Port Orleans! Can’t believe our good fortune on this one !

That's some amazing pixie dust right there!

You will need a cc with a UK address on it if you want to book through Disney travel UK however not need for it of you want to get your tickets from attraction tickets I have done it before with zero issues you also get a magicband included in the price.

Which company had the 7% off code?
