Add-On Experiences at Disney World
Did you know that Disney World has a ton of extra experiences you can consider when planning your trip? I’m talking about more than what you get to experience on a regular day at the parks. These are a great way to make your strip extra special for a child, yourself, or the entire family.
Notice that there are a few where adults are not allowed. This is a perfect opportunity to give your child a special experience while you and your spouse go enjoy a date somewhere close by!
Also notice that for many of these, you do not require a theme park ticket. These extras are perfect for days you don’t want to purchase a park ticket but still want to do something special!
You can search this table or sort it by starting price per person, to whom the add-on appeals, or by whether or not you need a theme park ticket to participate. Just click the arrows at the top of the column!
