OrlandoAttractions.com now only operates using E-Tickets and Vouchers. This method is fast becoming the norm and are is very secure. We also believe as the parks introduce the use of more advanced technology that physical tickets will soon become a thing of the past and we want to take the leap in that direction. Here are some great reasons why this is the right time to make this change:

  • E Tickets can easily be re-issued or re-printed if lost or misplaced. (Not so the cardboard ones when the dog’s eaten them, or they’ve been through the laundry!)
  • Most Orlando E-Tickets are gate-ready and can be scanned off your mobile phone or a simple printout.*
  • E Tickets are in widespread use at concerts, sporting events and theme parks - we love that.
  • E Tickets are environmentally friendly - we really like that.
  • E Tickets are touchless - paper tickets have to be handled and packaged by our staff and handled again by a courier service - let’s stop that.
  • E Tickets allow us to offer even lower prices than we normally do - our competitors won’t like that!

Please always check the FAQ section to find out what type of e-ticket or voucher you will receive.

*Some e-tickets / vouchers require exchange. This currently includes Walt Disney World tickets which require exchange at Guest Relations at the first park you visit, Disney Springs, or any Disney resort hotel.
