How can I find my DISNEYLAND® Resort ticket numbers from Get Away Today so I can make a reservation?
In order to make a theme park reservation, you must link your Disneyland® ticket numbers. You can find your Disneyland® Resort ticket number(s) from Get Away Today one of two ways:
1. Your ticket numbers are located in your after-booking email titled “Get Away Today Vacation Itinerary” as a PDF attachment. You can find your 19-digit ticket number(s) in the top, right-hand corner of the PDF underneath the barcode. You will have a different 19-digit ticket number for each ticket purchased.
2. You can also find your ticket numbers by logging into your account on our website. You can do this by clicking on the “Sign In” button on the top, right-hand corner of our website. If you already have an account, you can proceed to sign in. However, if you don’t have an account, you can create one with the same information you used to book your vacation. Once you sign in successfully, you’ll need to click on the drop-down button located next to the sign-in icon. Here, you’ll click on the “Upcoming Travel” button. Once you do this, you’ll be able to see your upcoming travel items. Here, you’ll click on your Disneyland® Resort tickets and then choose “Print/View Documents.” On this page, you’ll be able to view the 19-digit ticket numbers for each member of your party. As a reminder, you will have a different 19-digit ticket number for each ticket purchased.

What is Disney Genie? What is Lightning Lane?
- Personalized itinerary plans
- Forecasted wait times
- Virtual queue access
- And more!
The FREE version of Disney Genie includes:
- Access to the Lightning Lane at select attractions (one at a time)
- PhotoPass Downloads
- Audio Tours of Select Parks
Lightning Lane is available for an upgrade and also includes:
Lightning Lane access with Lightning Lane multi-passes will work most similarly to Disneyland® Resort’s previous MaxPass system. Lightning Lane at both Disneyland® and Walt Disney World have variable pricing, so the cost for this feature will depend on what day you purchase it.
There WILL still be traditional standby and virtual queues for guests who aren't interested in upgrading. And of course, you can use those lines when you have Lightning Lane as well. It's easy and flexible! Lightning Lane will NOT be available as an upgrade to Magic Key Holders when they become available. Magic Key Holders will be able to purchase Lightning Lane one day at a time through the app.

Booking, Changes and Cancellation Policies
Booking, Changes and Cancellation Policies
What is the Get Away Today Peace of Mind Plan?
The Peace of Mind Plan is designed to give you extra flexibility and confidence when booking your vacation, especially if you are planning ahead or want reassurance that your plans can adjust if needed.
For a one-time fee of $99 per room, it allows you to make changes to your reservation without paying Get Away Today change or cancellation fees. If your dates shift, something unexpected comes up, or you simply need to adjust your plans, the process is much easier and more flexible.
Without the Peace of Mind Plan, the following Get Away Today fees apply:
- $150 fee to process reservation changes
- $250 fee per hotel package for cancellations
- $50 processing fee for changes to attraction vouchers
Even with the Peace of Mind Plan, hotel and travel provider policies still apply, including required cancellation windows. For example, some hotels require notice 72 hours before check-in, while others may require 5, 7, or 21 days. If changes or cancellations are made inside those timeframes, the hotel may apply penalties such as the loss of one night’s stay. You can always review your specific cancellation deadlines in your confirmation or itinerary email, where the hotel policies for your reservation are outlined. If you are ever unsure or have questions, our team is happy to help review the details with you.
Many guests choose the Peace of Mind Plan because it provides added confidence when booking travel in advance. It is valid for one year from your original booking date.
How do I change my Get Away Today reservation?
We pride ourselves on being as flexible as possible, and our team is always here to help if your plans change. Reservations can be adjusted at any time, even close to your travel dates. The main difference is whether hotel or supplier fees apply based on timing.
Most reservations can be changed without hotel penalties when requested at least 72 hours before your scheduled check-in date. Some hotels require additional notice, including:
- 5 days for Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort hotels
- 7 days for Universal Orlando Resort and LEGOLAND® California hotels
- 21 days for LEGOLAND® Florida hotels
If changes are requested inside the required timeframe, the hotel may charge a penalty such as the loss of one night’s stay or other applicable fees. These charges are determined by the hotel, but we will always explain your options clearly before making any updates.
If you purchased the Peace of Mind Plan, Get Away Today change fees are waived. If the Peace of Mind Plan was not added, a $150 change fee may apply along with any price differences or supplier penalties.
Even if your reservation is inside the cancellation window, we can still help you make adjustments. Our goal is always to help you find the best solution based on your situation.
If you are unsure what applies to your reservation, please reach out. We are always happy to review your options and walk through everything with you.
What is the Get Away Today cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your vacation, our team is here to help you every step of the way. We understand that plans can change, sometimes unexpectedly, and we will always work with you to review your options and explain what to expect.
Vacation packages booked through Get Away Today are refundable. The amount refunded may vary depending on when cancellation is requested and whether any hotel or travel provider penalties apply.
If you added the Peace of Mind Plan, Get Away Today cancellation fees are waived. If the Peace of Mind Plan was not added, a $250 cancellation fee per hotel package applies.
Hotels have specific cancellation deadlines, which may include:
- 72 hours for many properties
- 5 days for Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort hotels
- 7 days for Universal Orlando Resort and LEGOLAND® California hotels
- 21 days for LEGOLAND® Florida hotels
If cancellation occurs inside the required timeframe, the hotel may charge a penalty equal to the first night’s stay or other applicable fees. These charges are determined by the hotel or travel provider, but we will always review everything with you before making any changes.
Some types of travel, including cruises, international packages, Mexico, Hawaii, or reservations booked with certain third-party providers, may follow different cancellation policies set by the supplier. In those cases, refundability and penalties are determined by the travel provider’s terms.
Because every reservation is unique, we recommend contacting our team if you are considering cancellation. We are always happy to review your specific booking and help you understand the best path forward.
Are Get Away Today vacation packages refundable?
Your vacation package booked through Get Away Today is refundable. We know flexibility matters when planning travel, and we understand how important it is to have options if plans change. Our team is here to help you understand what to expect and guide you through the process.
The amount refunded may vary depending on when changes or cancellations are requested and whether any hotel or travel provider penalties apply.
If the Peace of Mind Plan was added to your reservation, Get Away Today change and cancellation fees are waived. If the Peace of Mind Plan was not purchased, a $250 cancellation fee per hotel package applies.
Hotels and travel providers have required cancellation windows. If cancellation occurs inside those timeframes, the hotel may charge a penalty such as the loss of the first night’s stay or other applicable fees. These supplier penalties apply regardless of whether the Peace of Mind Plan was purchased.
Some types of travel, including cruises, international packages, Mexico, Hawaii, or reservations booked through certain third-party providers, may follow cancellation and refund policies established by the travel supplier.
If you ever have questions about your specific reservation, please reach out. We are always happy to review the details with you and help you understand exactly what to expect.
Do DISNEYLAND® and Walt Disney World tickets expire?
Ticket policies vary depending on the destination, and we are happy to help you understand how yours works.
When booked through Get Away Today, standard Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort tickets retain the value originally paid, even after the expiration date listed on the ticket. If unused, that original purchase value may be applied toward a new Disney ticket directly through Disney, subject to Disney’s current pricing and policies.
Tickets for other destinations, including Universal and select partner attractions, must typically be used by the expiration date listed on the voucher. Promotional tickets, specially ticketed events, and seasonal experiences often have specific usage windows and may no longer be valid once those dates pass.
If you ever have questions about your tickets, please reach out. Our team is always happy to help clarify.
When will I receive my Get Away Today travel documents?
We know how exciting it is to receive your travel documents, and we want to make sure you have everything you need well before your trip.
Your travel documents are sent electronically to the email address provided at the time of booking so you can easily access them whenever you need. Many guests appreciate having everything available digitally for convenience while traveling.
Delivery timing can vary depending on your reservation details and payment status. If you are using a Layaway Plan, certain documents may be issued after your reservation is paid in full.
If you do not see your documents when you expect them, please check your spam or junk folder first. If you still need assistance, just let us know. Our team is always happy to resend them and make sure you feel fully prepared for your vacation.
Does Get Away Today charge fees?
No, Get Away Today does not charge booking fees. We believe in transparent pricing, so you can feel confident knowing you are receiving competitive rates along with the support of our team.
When you book with Get Away Today, you also have access to vacation experts who are here to help before, during, and after your trip. Whether you have questions, need assistance with changes, or just want guidance along the way, we are always happy to help.
Many guests appreciate having that extra support while also benefiting from the exclusive discounts and savings we are able to offer.
Does Get Away Today offer payment plans or book now, pay later options?
Yes, our Layaway Plan is designed to make planning your vacation easier by allowing you to reserve your trip now and pay over time, so you can secure your travel dates and availability while spreading out the cost.
A one-time Layaway Plan fee of $99 allows you to make flexible payments toward your reservation instead of paying in full upfront. You can choose how much and how often you pay, as long as your balance is paid in full no later than 9 days prior to your travel date. Many guests appreciate the flexibility this provides, especially when planning further in advance or budgeting for a larger trip.
If we receive advance notice that ticket prices are increasing before your Layaway Plan is paid in full, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to pay the remaining balance to secure your current pricing before the increase takes effect. In some cases, ticket price increases may occur without advance notice from the supplier. If that happens before your reservation is paid in full, updated pricing may apply.
If you have questions about payment timing or pricing, our team is always happy to walk through your options and help you plan with confidence.
*Disneyland Resort tickets will not be sent until your Layaway Plan is paid in its entirety. Because Disneyland® Resort reservations can be made up to 240 days in advance, we strongly encourage you to pay off your Layaway Plan at least 30 days before travel, if not sooner - especially for peak travel dates.

What is the Peace of Mind Plan?
The Peace of Mind Plan is our optional travel protection created to give you extra flexibility and added confidence when booking your vacation. We know these trips are important, and sometimes plans change. Many guests choose to add this plan for a little extra reassurance, especially when booking in advance.
For a one-time, non-refundable fee of $99 per reservation, the Peace of Mind Plan allows you to make changes to your reservation (excluding airfare) up to five days prior to your scheduled check-in date without paying any Get Away Today change, reschedule, or cancellation fees.
That means if your dates shift, your plans evolve, or you simply need to make adjustments, you will not be charged additional fees by Get Away Today for qualifying changes. While hotel and travel provider policies still apply, the Peace of Mind Plan removes our fees and gives you greater flexibility, making planning feel much less stressful.
The Peace of Mind Plan must be added at the time of booking to qualify. For more details or to review a full list of applicable fees, please click HERE.
