<" align=left>(Walt Disney World Resort) Disney today announced an innovative new ticket plan -- "Magic Your Way" --that
allows Walt Disney World guests to create their own tickets for a customized vacation.
Starting Jan. 2, guests at Walt Disney World Resort will be able to purchase tickets to the various theme parks, attractions
and other entertainment offerings that are tailored to the length of their vacation and the interests of their group -- and
allow them to save more per day based on their length of stay.
"Whether ordering a computer, a car or a cup of coffee, people want things customized to fit their individual needs," said
Walt Disney World President Al Weiss. "And now Walt Disney World guests will have that same ability to customize their dream
vacation, creating the ticket that is just right for them."
And because "Magic Your Way" tickets offer savings that increase with the length of stay, a weeklong Walt Disney World
vacation becomes even more affordable.
"Recent research shows that longer vacations are high on the wish list for families," Weiss said. "With so much to see
and do at Walt Disney World, guests want to take a week to experience it all, at their own pace. With this new plan they can
-- and at more affordable prices that reward more leisurely stays.
"Simply put," he said, "the more you play, the less you pay, per day." Under this new program, a family of four will be
able to enjoy a six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation -- including a stay at an on-property Disney hotel with theme
park tickets -- for as little as $1,500.
Even More Choices: Disney Resorts, Benefits Staying in the "middle of the magic" at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel
has always been the best and most relaxing way to enjoy a Walt Disney World vacation. And now Disney hotel guests get great
new benefits, too, including more time in the parks and a convenient and affordable dining plan:
Extra Magic Hours: Each day the gates of one of Disney's magical theme parks open one hour early or stay open three hours
later so Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy select attractions. (A valid theme park ticket and Resort ID are required.)
Disney Dining Plan: Disney hotel guests who want the convenience of a more-inclusive "cruise-style" vacation can purchase
the "Magic Your Way" Package Plus Dining. For each night of their resort stay guests can enjoy two meals and a snack at more
than 100 select restaurants throughout the Walt Disney World parks and hotels.
With more than 20 uniquely themed Disney resorts -- Value, Moderate, Deluxe and Disney Vacation Club -- Walt Disney World
offers accommodations for every taste and budget. Now that a longer Disney vacation has become even more affordable, Disney
resort guests will be able to enjoy their hotel like never before -- spending quality "R & R" hours between park visits,
whether it's pool time, a quick nap, shopping or meals.
"Magic Your Way" Easy to Book
"Magic Your Way" tickets go on sale beginning Jan. 2. Until then, guests can find more information at http://www.disneyworld.com.
Also beginning Jan. 2, a new step-by-step, shopping cart-style process can be used with your travel agent to book the magic
--Your way.
Creating Your Ticket ... Your Way 'Magic Your Way' Fact Sheet
With the new "Magic Your Way" ticket plan, guests create their own ticket for their perfect Walt Disney World vacation
-- whether that includes seven days of theme park fun, or water park action, or a night on the town at Downtown Disney.
Creating a custom ticket is easy. First, guests choose the number of days they want on a base ticket that allows them to
visit one theme park each day.
Then they can select from a menu of ticket options that includes:
Park Hopper Option: Adding the Park Hopper option lets guests come and go as they please through all four Walt Disney
World theme parks each day for the length of their ticket. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $35 -- or just $5 per day
on a seven-day ticket.
Magic Plus Pack Option: For Disney fun beyond the four theme parks, this option provides the choice of admission to Disney's
Blizzard Beach water park, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park, DisneyQuest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island or Disney's Wide
World of Sports Complex. Extra cost to the base-price ticket: $45 (includes 2-5 visits to these other attractions, depending
on the number of base ticket days purchased).
No Expiration Option: "Magic Your Way" tickets expire 14 days after their first use. Electing the "no expiration" option
means the guest is free to come back and take advantage of unused ticket entitlements at any time. Extra cost to the base-price
ticket: $10 if 2-day ticket purchased, up to $55 if 7-day ticket purchased.
"Magic Your Way" Premium Pass: To capture all that Walt Disney World Resort has to offer, this ticket combines the benefits
of Park Hopper and Magic Plus Pack options.
Advance Purchase Savings: The savings gets even sweeter when guests purchase 5-, 6- or 7-day "Magic Your Way" tickets
with the Park Hopper or Magic Plus Pack options -- or both -- before leaving home.
As a Guest staying in a Disney Resort, you'll enjoy terrific benefits, more convenient
transportation, and more magic all-round. It's the most relaxing way to enjoy your Disney vacation.

"The Happiest Celebration on Earth" New values and benefits come at a perfect time, as Walt Disney World Resort prepares
to launch "The Happiest Celebration on Earth," marking 50 years of Disney theme park magic since Disneyland opened in 1955.
Beginning May 5, 2005, Walt Disney World is importing attractions from Disney parks around the globe to mark the occasion:
At Disney-MGM Studios, a high-octane stunt show filled with speeding cars, motorcycles and jet skis comes direct from
Disneyland Resort Paris.
At Epcot, a soaring adventure over California comes from Disneyland Resort.
At Magic Kingdom, a magical, musical "Cinderellabration" takes its cue from the popular Tokyo Disney Resort show.
And at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Lucky the dinosaur walks straight out of the secret labs of Walt Disney Imagineering.
