How far in advance would mid-day magic tickets become available?

How far in advance would mid-day magic tickets become available?

They aren't a regular offering. The last offer for mid day tickets (which had to be used by 12/15/19) was likely put out because they weren't getting as many bookings as expected for the fall. IF Disney decides to offer them again, they'd be announced once they became available. But that's a HUGE "if" with all the new ride openings and the 50th anniversary coming up.

I have old non-expiring park hopper tickets. We are going with people who don't have tickets who are getting the 4 Park Magic Ticket (one park per day). Is there a way for us to buy 4 Park Magic Tickets and save our non-expiring hoppers for a future trip?

Can you upgrade the 4 Park Magic Tickets into an AP?

Sure.
Just buy 4 Park Magic Tickets for now and save your non-expiring hoppers for a future trip.

Can you upgrade the 4 Park Magic Tickets into an AP?

Yes. But, there is no cost "advantage" to do so.
You will get the purchase price of the 4 Park Magic Tickets to use toward buying the AP.

At WDW, go to any Guest Relations BEFORE you go to enter your first park and have your 4 Park Magic Tickets set to the highest PRIORITY.
The 4 Park Magic Tickets tickets will then be used FIRST.

Wondering if someone can make sure I am understanding my tickets and usage.

I have a package booked thru wdw for 2/11/20 with tickets. Today I called and added an additional night (2/10/20) however, we had to add a preferred room due to no other rooms available at resort. We now have two separate reservations#. I was told we will be able to access our park tickets from the first reservation# with no problems upon check in on 2/10/20

Is this correct we should have no problems using tickets under the first reservation# that technically doesn’t start till 2/11/20?

thanks for any info.

It is unclear if "package tickets" can be activated early.
(Used to be that you could, but there have been confusing reports since the advent of "dated tickets.")

Can you currently book FastPasses for Feb. 10?

When I added the extra day tickets the cast member told me we would be unable to book fast passes for the 10th.

I'm uneasy about you actually being able to use your tickets on the 10th, as well.
Maybe there will be no problems (I hope so,) but I am loath to just take the assurances of just one CM on the phone.

EDIT:
Can you call back and MOVE your tickets from the second reservation to the FIRST reservation?
(You'd cancel the tickets on the second reservation. Book for the first.)
You CAN book tickets that run past a given "end date" of a WDW resort reservation.

That way, you will KNOW you can use your tickets... AND, you could book FPs for that first day.

I might upgrade our tickets on our last night to park hopper so we can visit Epcot depending on how everyone feels. Does anyone know if I'll be able to try for fast passes before upgrading at the park or will MDE block me?

You won't be able to book fastpasses at two separate parks without the parkhopper option already on your tickets.

And just a heads up (you may already know this) that you will be charged whatever the upgrade cost is for your full length of tickets even if you wait until the last day (i.e. if you have 4 day tickets, you'll be charged the PH option for 4 day tickets - I think $80 - regardless of how many days you have left to actually use)

 

[PendingPeril]

Oof. Alright thanks.

Good idea I will and do that. Thanks again for the advice.

If we buy the 4-Park Magic ticket and end up having to change our dates will Disney let us change the dates for the tickets ? Also with this ticket can you leave the park and re-enter the same park later?

1. If we buy the 4-Park Magic ticket and end up having to change our dates will Disney let us change the dates for the tickets ?
2. Also with this ticket can you leave the park and re-enter the same park later?

1. It looks like they can be used within a period as late as starting on or before Sept. 30, 2020.
If they are specifically start-dated, you would be able to change the date within that stated period of time.
2. Yes. Multiple in-and-outs to the same park on the same day. (Just no "park-hopping.)

Thank you ! When I clicked to buy it did want me to pick a date.

Thanks, Robo. Since I'm going with a friend in May who already has a ticket purchased, I think I
will just buy a new ticket so we can make our Fast Passes. And I'll sort out the e-ticket when I get
there.

Update— And now I am still a passholder! Ran the numbers and decided to renew. I’ll do my best to get my moneys worth.

Upgrading Tickets

Can admission tickets that were used on a block-out date be upgraded a day or two later to a Gold annual pass?
