  • Magic Touches

    The lobby and the Villas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village extend out and take the curlicue shape of a water buffalo's horns.

    Bought disney tickets from attraction tickets direct. Got magic band free with ticket price. No issues entering any park or blizzard beach. Blizzard beach has a large wave pool and long lazy river that I enjoyed as a pensioner. My grandchildren enjoyed slides, children's activity area and ski lift dropping into water. Fun day for all

    Great idea to have the late park tickets. Rides were all virtually walk on with the exception of slinky dog. Did think it could be lit up more though, as certain areas of the park were very dark. Overall good experience though. Booking was very easy.

    These tickets included a free memory maker and were a great value overall for our long stay at Disney World. We had no trouble linking them to our Disney Experience account and wouldn't normally purchase the memory maker, but loved having it. The website was clear and customer service was prompt and helpful when I reached out with some questions. We regularly go to Disney World and will certainly come back here first for our tickets.
