Walt Disney World is reviving its 3-Day Discover Disney Ticket, a limitedtim­e deal for Florida residents.

The ticket costs $175 and is valid for one theme park per day. A fourth day can be added for $20. They must be purchased by June 27 and used by June 30. There are no blackout dates.

Buyers can also add a park-hopper option that allows visits to multiple parks per day for $32.50 ($37.50 for the four-day option). In addition, there’s a Park Hopper Plus Option that gives access to Disney World’s water parks and select Disney golf courses.

Among the happenings expected to occur at Disney parks between now and the tickets’ expiration dates: the 30th anniversar­y of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a Magic Kingdom street party celebratin­g Mickey Mouse’s birthday, the Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Internatio­nal Festival of the Arts.

Last year, Discovery Disney Ticket sold in January for $159.

Without the deal, a three-day ticket costs between $98 and $113 per day, depending on the dates, according to the Disney World website.

Disney has tinkered with the format and price of its early-in-the-year Florida resident offer over the years. In 2008, a four-day pass was $125. In 2009, it went with a pair of one-day, one-park passes for $99.

In 2010, Disney promoted a "4 Day Dream Pass" for $99, then raised the price to $119 in 2011.

Six years ago, it dropped the offer to only three parks and dropped the price to $99. The price went to $119 in 2013, $129 in 2014 and $139 in ’15 and ’16.
