Canadian Residents 25% off tickets on WDW site **Offer extended until May 20, 2017.

Do you have to be a CAA member to buy the tickets through CAA? Since its not a CAA deal I was just wondering.

@Cruisinskier did they specifically say that you could show passports and swap for 'actual tickets' at AoA? When I called a month or so ago to switch our tickets and get the deal, they weren't sure if they would be able to process these passes at the resorts or if we would have to go to guest services. Just wondering if they'd firmed this up - it would be great to do it at the resort at check in! Thanks

Yes we were specifically told that the tickets would be available at the resort.....but that doesn't mean that is what will ultimately happen! Until we arrive on Dec 28 we will not know for sure. Unless anyone else can confirm they were able to get the actual tickets at a resort (not exchange certificates). Can anyone confirm??

so true, you never really know until you get there I'll try to remember and ask you after you get back!

My brother and his family are going down to Disney world in December and want to take advantage of the Canadian deal on tickets but was told they all have to have a passport to get the deal. They are driving down and his two young boys don't have passports. As anyone else had this problem? They apparently will not take a birth certificate as proof.

I don't know where i saw it on the boards (there are several threads floating around asking about these) but it was mentioned that passports need to be shown for everyone over the age of 16 (which is the age you need it for crossing border by land or sea). I imagine the same ID that is acceptable to cross the border (a birth certificate) would be more than adequate to activate a park ticket! If your brother was told everyone needs passports i would imagine that's because the CM simply isn't aware that not every child possesses a passport. I would have him call and be explicit about the situation, explaining why the kids don't have (or need) passports if he wants to be sure.

I'm ready to purchase a 3-day Disneyland park hopper (child) through Airmiles for our trip next November - I plan on buying the 2 adult passes from CAA as I won't have enough miles by February to get the discounted rate. The adult passes will be 4-day hoppers. I can upgrade the child 3-day hopper to a 4-day at the park, correct? Will the price be bridged? The difference between a 3-day and 5-day child park hopper is only 300 air miles, so if it's NOT bridged, I think it makes more sense for me to buy the 5-day through air miles, and only use 4 days. I wish air miles would offer the 4-day option!

We've upgraded AM tickets a few times, once from a 3 day to a 4 day, once from a 3 day to an AP and once from a 5 day to an AP. Each time the price was bridged and we only paid the difference between the gate price of the tickets.

No one has actually used the exchange certificates yet (which is what Airmiles is now providing as well) and attempted to upgrade them -- or add days and reported back on the results. I'm fairly confident they will allow the this to happen. I would highly doubt they would be doing a "bridge" of the pricing in this case though because there will be no doubt what we paid for them since they are only available till the end of February... don't quote me on this though because even the DIS-ers who work ticketing haven't provided a straight answer on this particular question

ooooh, whoops! I missed that this was about the exchange certificates! (blame it on the lack of enough coffee to fully engage my brain!)

I haven't read through everything, but just wanting to confirm:

If I want to purchase 4 tickets for our family (2 adults, 2 children) and we have Nexus cards, this is all we need?
And we will get a certificate that we can link to MDE immediately, but we won't get physical tickets until we exchange them at Disney?
And the certificate never expires, right? So if I buy them in January, and we don't go till 2018..?

OT Are you following along in the Airmiles thread about the new bonus offers right now... Shop the Block? There are some significant earning opportunities right now!

Yes to all of your questions!

I am 70 days out from our WDW trip and am now hearing that I can only do fastpasses 30 days ahead instead of 60. We are staying at AKL and have 8 day tickets with hopper. On Disneys site it states that if you are staying on Disney property and have Disney tickets you can book fastpasses 60 days ahead. I booked my trip with a travel agent but it was purchased from Air Canada Vacations. Anyone know anything about this?

It doesn't matter how you booked your trip, if you're staying on site you get to book your FP+ at the 60 day mark. You will get an email from Disney telling you when that day has rolled around -- but don't rely on that since mine didn't show up till 10 PM! However i wouldn't worry too much if you can't find what you want right at your mark -- i just looked at this Friday, which should be crazy busy since it's the day after the US Thanksgiving and the only thing that isn't available is the Character Spot in EPCOT, I could get fastpasses for any other ride/show including Frozen and Mine Train. Our tickets aren't linked to a package so i can always look at the next 30 days. People's plans change constantly so even if you can't get that perfect meal or ride lined up just keep looking even when you're on site!

I just looked for you and that date should be December 2nd (i *think* your arrival date is Jan 31?)

I assumed you linked your tickets and your stay with a disney account. From my recollection if you look for FPs before the 60 days of your trip it will only give you 30 days out to pick a FP. It basically treats you like you are off-site. Once the 60 days arrives the FP window will jump to 60 days because the computer realizes you are staying on-site in 60 days. Don't worry at 7am EST it will open up.

Hi All,
I just returned from WDW on November 20th - so I have some answers to the Canadian Discounted tickets.
I personally purchased the tickets via WDW website. The tickets were automatically linked to my MDE account and I was able to make FastPass selection right away since I was staying on site and it was less than 60 days out.
I was able to upgrade the tickets to an annual pass. This was done at the ticket booth at the International Gateway at Epcot. When I showed the print out (voucher), passport and credit card that used to initially purchase the ticket - the cast member did not seem too concern??? She was going to give me a separate admission ticket (the plastic card) but then I showed her that I had magic band that was nixed. Upgrading to the annual pass was easy - but they did not bridged the price.
If there is anything else I can answer - please ask away!

I really hope this is not going to cause more confusion, but since I am confused now it might.

If I currently use air miles to "buy" a 5-day pass is it now coming as an exchange voucher and not an official "ticket"? Why would this be? Are they currently "charging" less air miles for a 5- day pass than usual? Their "ticket" used to bridge to an AP, has this changed forever, or just during the 25% Cdn discount period?

If they come as a voucher I would most likely not be able to bridge to an AP, which is the only reason why I would use my points to get these tickets, rather than pay the Cdn discount.

I have linked my tickets and reservations to my Disney experience and all info seems correct. If I go to the fastpass page the only dates I can click on are 30 days away. My 60 day mark comes up on Dec 1st. I emailed Disney and the response was that I would be okay at the 60 day mark. Only time will tell. I have included pics and you can see that the only blue dates that I can click on are 30 days away. Hope this changes when my 60 day mark comes up.

It will open up when you are 60 days out. Don't worry.

If I buy the discounted tickets from CAA, do I have to assign them to people before I get them?
I don't have a Disney trip planned at the moment, but was thinking of buying some tickets for a future trip... and I don't know who's going to be on that trip!
