🏰 Walt Disney World® Park Reservations

To help manage park capacity, the Walt Disney World Resort has introduced the Disney Park Pass service, a new Theme Park reservation system. In order to make your Theme Park reservations, you will need a My Disney Experiences account and valid Theme Park admission linked to it. Varsity Spirit will send you a ticket confrimation number in late August for all customers paid in full. Then, simply create a My Disney Experience account and select the dates and Theme Parks you wish to visit. To enter a Theme Park, both a reservation and valid admission for the same Park on the same dateare required. Please note that reservations are limited in capacity, subject to availablity and are not guaranteed until confirmed. If the first park you would like to attend reaches capacity, you can make a reservation for another park and then “hop” to your choice after 2PM that day. Park availabilty is very limited and Varisty Spirit will not be able to assist with park reservations. 

For those spectators and participants on our hotel travel package and those who purchased a Walt Disney World Park Hopper pass from Varsity Spirit, a park reservation for Magic Kingdom will be pre-loaded on to your ticket for the day of your All-Americab’s performance.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN PURCHASING THEME PARK TICKETS: The reselling or the transferring of theme park tickets in the state of Florida is a crime as described under Florida state laws; Florida Statutes s. 817.361 and Florida Statutes s. 817.36

Park Reservation How-To Resources:

*Please note that NO changes/upgrades are possible after ticket orders have been placed. And remember, no Disney Park Hopper tickets will be sold on site during registration this year.

❔ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much spending money should I bring with me
A: That is up to you. You will only need money for meals not included in the package and miscellaneous items such as snacks and souvenirs.

Q: How often will I receive updates?
A: We try to communicate regularly with all attendees. Most of the communication will come through email or our Facebook page. If you’re not receiving emails or have additional email addresses you’d like added to our distribution list then email John Calitri at jcalitri@varsity.com.

Q: My coach is coming to Florida as a spectator. Can they attend practice? Can my parents?
A: In an effort to minimize all distractions, all rehearsals are closed to all spectators. This will hopefully allow us to streamline the practices which in turn should allow for more time in the parks!

Q: What happens if I get injured or sick during the event?
A: We will have first aid staff on duty throughout the event. Additional medical treatment is at the expense of the participant.

Q: When do we need to arrive to Orlando?
A: Normal arrival day is Friday, Nov 21 and we do offer a limited number of extra nights on Thursday, Nov 20 for those requesting an early arrival. We suggest arriving at the resort no later than 2:00 PM on Sunday (12:00 PM arrival to the Orlando International Airport MCO). This will allow plenty of time for you to get to the hotel, register and be ready for rehearsal that evening. It will also allow for any potential flight delays due to weather.

Q: Do we have to follow the group itinerary when it comes to visiting the theme parks each day?
A: No, unless it is your performance day. You must follow the group itinerary for your group performance times. Other days you do not have to follow the group itinerary.

Q: We missed our deadline for registration and deposit…Are we too late?
A: Please call our Customer Service at 844-390-0644 for availability.

Q: How do I know what size uniform to order?
A: Watch this short video with instructions on how to properly measure for your uniform. Please note: Your current Varsity uniform will more than likely be a different fit than the uniform we use for Special Events.


Q: My performer already has a uniform from a 2024 Varsity Spirit Spectacular. Is the uniform the same and do we get a discount?
A: The uniform for the 2025 Varsity Spirit Spectacular will be the same as the 2024 event. If your performer already has the uniform from the 2024 Varsity Spirit Spectacular, please indicate this on your uniform sheet and you may deduct $40 from your cost.

Q: What’s the difference between the Participant and Spectator pricing?
A: The uniform, performer bag, choreography material and parade opportunity are the only differences. Everything that is listed as INCLUDED in the tour package is available to everyone.

Q: Are there advantages to staying at the Coronado Springs Resort?
A: Yes. In addition to the convenience of the Varsity check in, orientation and rehearsal all being at the Coronado Springs Resort™ Disney provides transportation to all of the Walt Disney World theme parks from the resort.

Q: Are we able to pay for the Disney Dining Plan?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot offer the Disney Dining Plan because of our group discount.

Q: What does “Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option” mean?
A: A Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option enables you to visit more than one park a day. If you purchase a Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option from Varsity Spirit, you will be able to make a reservation for at least one of the theme parks. It is possible that some parks may reach capacity so we strongly recommend you register / pay early so you can get your tickets and book your reservations for your top choices. If the first park you would like to attend reaches capacity, you can make a reservation for another park and then “hop” to your top choice after 2PM that day.

Q: When will we receive our Walt Disney World® Resort Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option for the event?
A: You must have a reservation to attend a Walt Disney World® park in 2025. Once your registration is complete and in full, your tickets will be ordered through Disney and approximately 7–10 business days later a ticket confirmation order number will be sent to you. No changes will be accepted after tickets have been ordered. Since some parks will reach capacity (including upgrades) it is a possibility that parks will reach capacity so we strongly suggest you register / pay early so you can get your tickets and book your reservation for your top three park choices. Please note, tickets will be available in late August to those who are paid in full.  For attendees purchasing tickets through Varsity, your Magic Kingdom reservation will be included on your parade day.


Q: What is a Park Reservation?

Q: Can I use one of the adults days on our Walt Disney World® Resort Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper® Option, we may use them next year?
A: No. All of the included tickets are sold to our events as new registrations. Walt Disney World states are listed on our websites, please check them when you are ordering your tickets. No refunds will be given for unused portions of tickets.

Q: Are there discounted park tickets available for family and friends not on the travel package?
