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

My Gold AP expires 11/2/20 and I plan on renewing it (partially) using a 5 day PH ticket I purchases from UCT in Feb 2020. I will be at WDW on 11/2 - 11/6 and just want to verify a few things:
1. I should be able to renew at any point in my trip, correct? Or will it confuse the system as to which ticket entitlement to use?
2. Does it matter any more price-wise as to if I use the PH ticket to enter the park before upgrading? I know it used to, but it seems like that went away, is that right?

Also, the other two people I'm traveling with also have 5 day PH tickets from UCT. We should just be able to stop by GS and receive a refund on a Disney giftcard for the PH option, correct? Do you know what amount we should expect for that refund?

Thank you!

Hey all! I accidentally purchased myself a FL resident ticket when I purchased my parent's tickets (they are FL residents). Does anyone know if I can exchange it at Guest Services when we get there and pay the difference for "regular" tickets? Also, if i can, how will that affect my park reservations? Will I lose my reservations? Thanks for any insight!!

Park reservations don't appear to be tied to tickets once they are booked, so you'll be fine there. Going to Guest Services or any ticket booth will work to get the ticket straightened out.

Thank You so much for the quick response. I was having some serious panic attacks over here!!

For the ticket, I'm guessing they'll take the value of the FL resident ticket and apply it to the out-of-state ticket, so you'll have to pay the difference between the two.

That's what I'm assuming too. I'm happy to pay the correct price. lol

I believe I am taking my 5 the second week of Thanksgiving but not 100% sure. For the tickets - I see this line on the WDW website: After expiration date, the price paid for a wholly unused ticket can be applied to the purchase of a new ticket with an equal or higher price.

Does this mean if I purchase tickets and then decide to change my dates - I can change with no issues? I haven't been before with all of this choose dates, make reservations, etc.

Ex: Say I decide to cancel November and go in March - will that be an issue at all?

1. Yes.
2. Substantially, yes.
3. Generally, yes.
But, with the changing pandemic issues, anything can be affected.
We don't know about "reservations" or some unforeseen other situation.

WDW is once again selling park hopper tickets next year. Since the park reservation system still seems to be in place, does anybody know how park hopping is handled? Will you be able to hop to a park only if it's below capacity or can you make reservations for more than one park with the hopper ticket?

 

[VandVsmama]

I have no idea yet. We have park hopper tickets for our January trip. WDW isn't allowing park hopping yet, though. I'm sure that if they open things up to park hopping, we'll hear about how it'll be handled. Otherwise, if park hopping isn't allowed by the time we go on our trip, I'll just call Disney and ask for a refund on the difference in the ticket price.

 

[LilyWDW]

They are offering it for tickets but that does not guarantee that it will be available. We don't know what Disney will do.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Don't think about it until Disney actually has a plan in place that they have announced to guests.

 

[dachsie]

you can probably call them and have it corrected now if you want then you dont have to worry about it

I know that they aren’t selling new Annual Passes but does anyone know if there has been any news about if you can upgrade your current park tickets to an Annual Pass?

 

[Naomeri]

Pretty sure you can’t, since that would be selling a new AP. I’m sad about this, because I‘m finally ready o pull the trigger on my very first AP, and I can’t do it. Wish I’d thought of it on my trip back in January, I had an 8 day hopper that would’ve gone a long way toward an AP

 

[randumb0]

No you cannot

 

[Disneytrippin']

I wanted to share this info for anyone, like me who had purchased a 8 day and above park hopper and want the hopper part refunded(sorry, long sentence). Disney is only selling up to an 7 day park per day ticket. So, you don't want the refund now or you will lose those extra days. What you want to do is wait until you enter the park on the last day you use your park hopper ticket and THEN go to guest services to get your refund. This way you can still use all your days but still get the difference back.

If you choose to do it now, what they will do is cancel the ticket and reissue a new one. But, you can only get up to 7 days.

 

[Rich M]

Now that Disney only has 7 day tickets what are people doing that need more then 7 days?

 

[MulanMom]

Thank you, Disneytrippin'. This is exactly my situation for a December trip!
