Dinner package or admission only, choosing
The park sells more than one way in — here's what changes between them.

| Transfer | Included | Optional add-on |
What both tickets share
Every admission ticket, whichever way you book it, covers the park itself — the River Carnival Parade at either showing and the walk through Kingdom of Lights and the other zones afterwards.
The dinner-and-transfer ticket
This is the ticket this page links to: park entry, a seat at the Bird of Paradise buffet and a return hotel transfer, booked as one line item rather than assembled separately.
The admission-only ticket
A separate listing covers park entry and the parade without a dinner seat, with the return transfer offered as an optional extra rather than included — worth it if you've already eaten or are arriving under your own steam.
The Royal Seat upgrade
Either ticket can be upgraded with a Royal Seat, centrally placed in the Paradium for the best view of the parade.
Booking for a family or group
For a family or a group, the dinner-and-transfer ticket keeps everyone on one booking, with one pickup and one table time. Children's tickets are set by height rather than age, so measure the kids before you book.
Which one to pick
If you want the evening arranged in one booking — dinner, transfer, parade — the dinner-and-transfer ticket does that. If you'd rather eat elsewhere or drive yourself, admission only leaves that open.
