We will have AP's but have purchased the 1 day ticket in order to get the DDP. We will be returning to Disney in December and I was wondering if we could give our two unused 1-day park tickets to our friends who are coming with us in December?
Yes, you should be able to do that. Have the front desk split the park tickets off your KTTW card as a paper ticket and you can treat it like any other unused MYW ticket. (Including applying it to an AP renewal, if you like.)
You don't even have to have it split as a paper ticket (and they really are not paper, they're Tyvek - the kind of stuff they make Fed Ex envelopes out of) - you can just keep the key card and use it whenever you want. When I had a key card with a 1 day ticket on it I kept it for a few months and then used it toward an AP renewal. Don't see any reason why you can't give someone else the key card as the only thing on it would be the one-day ticket.
You can't get FREE dining without purchasing the package reservation with tickets. as the PP says you CAN purchase the dining plan in a room/dining package, no tickets, for annual passholders. But if you want the FREE dining, you have to buy (at least) the one-day ticket even with an annual pass. OP doesn't say if they have a free dining package or they are just buying one-day tickets with a regular package.
We had 6 1-day tickets on KTTW cards - we're planning on using the last one in May..... it's really a bonus to be able to take soimeone who wouldn't normally go into the parks.
Sorry about that...we are going during free dining which is why I purchased the one day park ticket for each of us. Just wanted to know if I could save them and use them in December. Are the KTTW cards scanned? Also, don't they have an expiration date on them? Maybe it would be better trade it for a "tyvek" ticket?
The one day ticket never expires until it is used. This is true whether it is transferred to a Tyvek ticket or encoded on a key card. While anything else (room entry and dining credits) encoded on the card will expire, the one day ticket won't. Some are more comfortable with the Tyvek tickets since they don't LOOK like an old key card.
I cannot imagine why someone else wouldn't be able to use the key card no matter whose name is on it. It's no longer a key card at that point. It's just a one-day base ticket. as long as an adult isn't trying to use a child's ticket or something like that.
