I really thought I had researched this well enough and knew what I was doing but apparently that is not the case.
We had a May 2020 trip senior trip planned with my DD, her best friend (also a senior) and my older DD. Had room only reservations & purchased 7 day hoppers from UTC, added to MDX fine, no problem. Obviously trip is having to be rescheduled, and we are attempting August 2020. For a variety of reasons, not the least being I have spent way too many hours planning/re-planning this trip and I am just ready for something to be easy (dining plan), I decided to book at new 'Your Trip has been Canceled by Covid19 Package' deal with 2 day base tickets and free dining. I thought I understood that I could "save" all of these 2 day package tickets for a future trip by reassigning them to a dummy profile I created in MDX (and just paying the difference of their value for a future trip) and just use our already purchased 7 day hoppers on August trip. I am 99.9% sure that I read this was possible. But again... possibly not??
The problem: I cannot reassign any of these 2 day package tickets, only the 7 day hopper in my own name. I am linked in MDX to my two girls and the best friend-- but they are all teens/adults and have their own MDX accounts and so control their tickets. We also looked at one DD's MDX account (app) and it would not let her reassign the 2 day ticket (only her 7 day hopper)-- same as me. Assuming this is the same for my other DD and the friend but I don't know for sure.
Questions:
1. Was I mistaken about the ability to move/transfer the 2 day package tickets to a created dummy profile on MDX? Is the problem because they are package tickets?
2. Can they be transferred before the trip, and if so, how?
3. Or do I have to wait until after check-in to make a transfer, and if so should I be able to do it myself on MDX (or online)?
4. If #3 is 'yes', would I then also need to get a CM at a park guest services to prioritize the 7 day hopper tickets over the 2 day package tickets before we enter the first time in August?
5. And if #2 or #3 is 'yes', then I will just be left with "expired" tickets to upgrade on some future trip. Can I transfer "expired" tickets before they are used?? It says in MDX that "expired tickets cannot be reassigned"... do we think they will 'technically' not be expired because all tickets are good through 12/15/20 or will they legit be expired because the package dates are past? Will I need to transfer them during our stay so they are not expired expired???
6. The sticky part is that I really wanted to get the 2 day ticket from my DD's friend transferred back to my family to use for future trip (she already bought her own 7 day hopper, I wasn't actually wanting to buy an additional ticket for her to have for a future trip-- it just seemed 'easier' to get her a ticket that we could use!) Worst case I can drop her from the package I guess... or return all the tickets to UTC and just upgrade the package tickets for everyone... was really trying to avoid this because I didn't want her family (or me) to have to deal with the refunding process and then having to pay me for her ticket-- it just seems like an additional hassle that I have no bandwidth for right now....
Please help with some clarity... thanks in advance.
