And I'll throw in one more Disney World ticket offer through September 22nd, 2025. That's a three-day, three-park ticket. And it comes out to starting at $89 per day plus tax. The catch with this is you cannot go to Magic Kingdom. It only works at Disney Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. But honestly, those are my three favorite parks.

$100 gift card just cost me $95. I can use that to buy tickets. I can also use it to buy anything else that they sell at Disney as long as they accept gift cards. So any of the shops, any of the restaurants, for the most part, this is a great way to save at Disney.

So I think we need to address the big one, and that is all of these ways you can pay to skip the line. There are a few ways you can do this. There is a Lightning Lane single pass. This gets you expedited entry into one ride. Then there is a multi-pass. This gets you into up to three rides at a time.

You select an arrival window, and then once you've used up one of those rides, then you can go select another ride. And then there's something called the Premier Pass. This is very limited. It is new. It is somewhat in testing and it's super expensive. So for context, a single ride pass is about $10 to $30 per ride. That multi-pass is about $20 to $30 per park. The Premier Pass, wait for it.

So I think a lot of people are not buying this, but this is something where if you are doing a once in a lifetime trip to Disney, maybe you're coming from an international destination and you're only going to be at Disney World for one day and you want to see it all.
