Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

[DGsAtBLT]

Just take Photo ID and the email with the ticket info directly to the psrk gates.
They will supply a plastic ticket for entry and FP use.

So they can do this right at the tapstiles without having to go guest relations? Perfect, thank you!

Annual Pass question .. Sorta a ticket question too.

I have two sets of tickets i was looking to use in the next year (its been 6+ years .. its time )
1) Non-expiring hopper 10-day tickets with four days left (assigned to me, wife, son)
2) 3 sets of 5-day tickets (non-hopper) (with no expiration date) that have yet to be assigned to anyone.

I was looking at ticket options for my daughter (who wasnt born when we got those tickets 6 years ago (talk about NOT planning ahead, right?) ..

I was looking at just getting her the 4-park 4-day ticket for an upcoming trip .. but than I thought about getting her an AP .

So I am planning on getting an AP for just my daughter for a upcoming June trip -- and use either set 1 or 2 for the rest of us.

I was able to get the AP rate for our room today when the discounts were announced by just letting them know I planned on getting an AP before the trip, but I didnt mention that it was just for my daughter, but then I got thinking.

Are discounts (including resort) able to be used from a childs AP? I figured it wouldnt matter since the price is the same and she is part of my MDE account, except she has no ID to show. Shrug. I guess I should find out before June.

If not, then I need to revert my reservation back to the non-AP rate, I guess. Not sure how that would work on check-in if I already have the reservation booked.

I guess I can always get the AP for myself and then give my daughter one of the 5-day tickets, but that just makes things awkward for the next trip after this one.

Yup.
Nothing to worry about.

I am going to the Star Wars 5/10k run April 17/18. I am an AP Gold, which is blacked out all the way til the 18th. My AP ends on the 26th of April.

Could I buy the 3 day FL resident special they have going on (it has no blackouts) so I can go on the 16th and 17th, and use that toward my AP renewal?

Making there will be no issues. I currently have a 1 day Park Hopper for Sept 20, 2020. I just received my 5 day Park Hopper Flex starting on Dec 22, 2020. Will there be any issues if I link my Dec. ticket to my MDE now or should I wait until I use my Sept. ticket?? TIA

Anyone know if I can use a bought adult ticket for my 5 year old?

Not as-is.
You can "trade it" for a child's ticket.
You can "ask nicely" for a refund of the difference price on a Disney gift card, but that is not a guarantee.

After you input your Dec. ticket into your MDX account, create a "fake name" in your MDX account.
Transfer the Dec. ticket to under that fake name.
When you are ready to finally use that Dec. ticket (even to book FP+, etc.,) transfer it back to your real name.

It's a 4yr+ old Canadian resident ticket. Would I actually have to pay extra due to today's higher prices?

We only have one day tickets. We are using those tickets to go to DHS. Can we go to Disney Springs Guest Services and get cards for our non-magic band party members a few days beforehand since it is so crazy with the new ride boarding groups (which we are trying to get)? Or can we only get our cards at the parks on the day assigned?

Maybe. It may actually depend on the CM you encounter.
(Ask nicely.)

1. Yes. Any ticket booth or Guest Relations at WDW.
HOWEVER, guests with purchased tickets and no MagicBands can just show up at the park gate, and by showing photo ID and the email/ticket info, can be issued the plastic ticket/FP card right there.
2. No rules that require that.

We have a FD Package booked July 6-14. We have a room only booked July 5 because I couldn’t get the extra day added on for package at YC

I EMAILED Disney about activating our tickets a day early and was told the resort could activate them when we check in the first day, but that we would only be able to make same day fastpasses

Buying one-day tickets are just about THE most expensive way of visiting WDW.

Hi, I'm back again. I'm still really hesitant to try to use these tickets. What would be the cheapest way for me to get a 2 day pass? They look cheaper on the disney website than undercover tourist. If I get there and get denied, what would be my back up plan to get tickets? Pay at the gate? I wouldn't be so apprehensive, but I'm travelling with other people and I don't want to hold them up mess with their plans, you know?

1. Buy from Disney.
2. They are. Disney is the best source for 1-day and 2-day tickets.
3. You could buy new tickets at that time.
4. Yes. (Well, at least at a ticket booth near the gate.)

Got a quick question, about package tickets. I'd search but I can't find the right group of terms to get results that are relevant to this

We just got back from a trip that was a package for room and 2 day tickets. Putting $200 down for our NYE room a year out is better than paying in full for 1 night a year out. Anyway, I figured we'd use those 2 day tickets for our AP renewal. For some reason, I thought once we checked in, those tickets could be reassigned but they couldn't. I checked each day. They were never used, I checked right up till we left, they remained on MDE, 2 day tickets, 2 entitlements remaining. So they never got used over our AP in error. However, they are now gone from the "my tickets" list. The last time I paid for the flex option but opted this time not to do that so I know they "expired" since we didn't use by the date shown but I was thinking that I would still be able to use them to renew, that they'd maintain some value. Is this correct? Or are they truly gone? I plan to ask when I'm back next week if they show up on the account but in the meantime was wondering how it worked

1. Their value can still be used to buy new tickets or (by extension) help renew an AP.
2. I don't know "where they are" but Disney will be able to see that you didn't use them.
3. You should be able to get things straightened out, but I don't know how long it should take (due to the truly glitch-filled MDX software.)

Thank you. That's pretty much how I expected it to go but looking for confirmation. I'll have time over the weekend so I'll see how it goes.
