Has anyone used baordwalkticketing?

One of the popular authorized WDW ticket discounters.

And, remember to check that the final prices quoted include tax.

Also... prices can "slide around" among the popular sites, so double-check the prices on the very date that you are ready to place your ticket order.

I am buying 2 tickets for my kid and her bf to go to Epcot with us (AP) in Nov. If I buy the tickets online, do I have to wait til the tickets are mailed to me to reserve park days for them? I don't want to wait a few weeks and then get find no park res available for them.

If you are buying them from Disney, then no. Just log into your MDE account before you purchase them. At the time of purchase, you'll be asked to attach them to people in your family and friends list. At that point you're done.

If you're purchasing from a third party vendor, then you'll have to wait until you have the ticket numbers. Some vendors have an electronic ticket option, in which case you'll get an email with the ticket numbers. You can then attach the tickets to people through MDE.

You cannot make park reservations without having tickets attached.

Thanks. It seemed to work pretty seamlessly. There is a bar code in email, so Im hoping we can walk up to tapstyle and show it for them and all get in. I know there is no more finger scan... or fast pass to have to scan for. Knew you guys would know!

1. Once you have your tickets linked into your MDX account (if you can SEE the tickets are listed) and you have made your park reservations... Yes, you can walk up to tapstyle and show that info to them and all get in.
2. Yup. (But, that may return at some point.)

It does look like boardwalk is a bit cheaper right now.

Is there a military ticket 'how to' for the new park reservation system? I can buy tickets on base, which are about 1/2 the cost, but it will take 2 to 3 weeks to get them (they have to be ordered). I'm assuming at that point I load them into MDE and make park reservations. At what point will I show my ID? How will they confirm my eligibility?

I don't believe there is anything different for military tickets, same procedure as before with regards to showing ID for eligibility. A park reservation doesn't change that.

We have a trip planned for 10 people starting January 2, 2021. Since it is unknown when park hopping will restart would you buy one park per day passes for everyone now with the hopes of upgrading at the parks after arrival if hopping has started? Or would you go ahead and shell out the money for park hoppers now in the hopes that it will be available in January?

Ok I am not sure where to ask this question. I have an annual pass. I am a Gold Star Wife (military widow) so I can buy the military salute tickets on base. I have an annual pass though for myself. I want to bring my mom and grandmother to the parks and buy them the military tickets but I won’t be needing one for myself. Is this allowed? I will be there at the gate when they get activated. Anyone know if this is possible? I know they usually say one of the people with the military tickets needs to be the one with the military ID but what if I already have a ticket? Anyone done this before?

Just confirming... with all the new rules. If we purchase 5 day tickets and we want to add a day when we are in Disney in November... can we still add a day for the. Incremental cost of making the 5 day ticket a 6 day ticket? Thanks!

Correct.

Can someone refresh my memory? I thought I saw a number I could call to potentially get my tix refunded that we couldn’t use last week. I know it was kind of a new thing but if I could talk to someone it might be helpful to put back on my GC. Thanks!

I have a ticket that is a college days ticket from Disney youth programs. The ticket was purchased in March to be used in May. When the shut happened the ticket date changed to Valid 12/15/2020. The ticket is a 3 day ticket. So my question is, Do the 3 days have to be used by 12/15?

I couldn't find the main thread about all of this so I figured I would just ask. We re-booked our awesome package to a not so awesome package due to the dining plan being dropped. However the original promo included free park hopper. Still as of today our Dec trip still has the (no longer free) parkhopper hooked to it. Has anyone has any luck getting it taken off? I mean... you can't even USE it...

 

[Piglet843]

Yep - I hear ya - Mine was still on there for a while - but I harped on my Travel Agent (DU) to call and get it fixed. Its the only way. She finally got it taken care of.

We had the free dining promo and was switched to the recovery offer. If you still have the park hopper let it alone till you get to Disney. Any modification you will loose discount. After entering the parks, go to Guest Services, they will remove the park hopper (worth $93 plus change, per ticket) and give you a gift card. It only took a few minutes. (We were there August 18th).

I have talked several times with the Shades of Green ticket staff this past week. My husband is a veteran who was discharged before they adopted the current discharge form. In September and January, veterans, as well as active or retired military/spouses, can use the SoG ticket system. Not the promo tickets. Getting all of that explained took several calls and they were incredibly helpful and cordial.

That is kind of a PITA it sounds like though. They should've allowed people to use the recovery offer without the addition of PH due to... well PH no longer existing. It's so weird. I never noticed the cost amount due to it being all packaged up. So it's 93 per ticket total regardless of the days?
