2026 Event Pricing Information – AVAILBLE NOW!

• CLICK HERE for DI Event Pricing.

For those purchasing a hotel travel package, you have the option to upgrade your tickets. Upgrade pricing can be found below!

Walt Disney World requires “Park Reservations” made in advance to attend the theme parks.  We strongly recommend that all friends and family (spectators) register on a separate invoice from the team.

• Anyone included on your invoice will be part of your “ticket order”. Ticket orders will be placed when your invoice is paid in full.
• Once the order is placed, you will receive a ticket confirmation number for each person depending on their package or upgrade.  You should receive your ticket confirmation within 3 business days of paying your invoice in full.
• Information on how to obtain your park reservations will be sent with your ticket confirmation email.

If changes are made to number of ticket days after ticket confirmations have been distributed, a $25 fee per ticket will be charged.  Each person should have a ticket assigned to their name; it is important that each person receives their assigned ticket confirmation.

Each team will need to designate one person (other than the head coach) to be your Safety Champion. This person will need to be confirmed upon registration, over 18 years of age and willing to participate in additional safety training prior to Championship.

• Each team/squad needs a separate Safety Champion (ex: If you bring a cheer and dance team, you need two different individuals.)

Additional theme park tickets are available for purchase through February 4, 2026. They will not be sold on-site at the event. CLICK HERE to purchase additional theme park tickets.
