News Florida Residents Can Visit Walt Disney World for $60 Per Day with 2025 Ticket Offer

Add to that it ends when Starlight at MK debuts.

Please stop. There is still no date announced.

Interesting that it ends on May 23rd with Epic opening on the 22nd and Memorial Day weekend. Either they believe Epic will bring in strong crowds to Orlando, or they are leaving themselves room for more deals/options pending success.

The former. Booking trends already indicate the back half of this year is much stronger, they were already reporting that data back in November.

I expect we'll see 2025 WDW up 5% attendance YoY and Universal around 35% (which will be about 15% from their prior 2022 peaks).

Well, according to the main site, they're running this deal this year, they ran it last year, and then the last time they ran it was... 2017.

They have run the Florida residents “discover Disney” offer every year since at least 2013 (except for 2021 due to obvious reasons).
Prior to that they had the same type of thing with a different name. 2011 and 12 it was the “wild for 3 and 4 day offer”


And here is a link to this very site talking about the 2010 discount January ticket.

WDW: FLA residents $25 a day!

Don't know if this has been posted as it's not hot off the presses news, BUT WDW (you know, the company that's not going to be discounting so massively according to The Weatherman) has an incredible ticket offer for FLA residents right now. Four days: $99. Or roughly $25 a day. That's one...

This is business as usual.

You think people will flock to MK instead of Epic because of a new parade vs an entire new theme park?

Of course not but it’s silly to think some people won’t want to also go to MK to see the new parade. If it was a daytime parade I’d say the draw would be very low but a nighttime parade with lights I think will spark more interest.

So you’re “not”
Passholder Chris then?

Actually I am. I've been a solid passholder for Universal since 2018, Busch Gardens since 2016, Seaworld off and on since 2008, WDW since 2024 after using the deal twice, they switched our 4-day tickets to passes because it was the same amount and the zoo.

Yup - about what I expect. Universal has seen 2 years of attendance decreases (but on par with Pre-Covid #'s), but they should get a significant boost.

WDW overall I'm expecting to benefit, specifically MK & EP. I'd have to imagine DAK will stop the bleed a bit attendance-wise, and DHS might stay flat.

I'm not so sure. They say booking trends to be much stronger in 2025 but their actions say a different story. Looking at all the discounts and the free dining tells me bookings are down for the summer.

The back half of 2025 is what they said was stronger, front is weaker but they essentially implied it was flat as we are year over year on already suppressed attendance from 2024.
