$99 AP "Bring a Friend" promotion

[katejc]

Hey just wondering if anyone has done this yet. We may be trying it out later this month (as the friends) and I'm just wondering if the process was smooth and quick--we don't usually have to spend any time at ticket booths and I'm hoping it won't give us a slow start. Any tips, advice, or info is appreciated! Thanks!

The question is why do they even have those ticket booths to begin with? Why don't they have self service kiosks?

Yes, I did it Sunday and it was very easy. I got to the booth around 7am (on the Harbor side), walked right up, and had the ticket within minutes. They scanned my AP and my name was printed on the ticket; they never asked who the ticket was for and only asked if I wanted to add Maxpass. When we entered, they checked my AP to see that it matched the ticket, and that was it!

@Skyegirl1999 Did your guest(s) have to be standing there with you? Like can I leave 15-20 minutes before my guests so they don't have to wait at the ticket booth with me or do they need to "see" the guests even if they don't ask names or anything?

Did it today and yesterday. No, your friends do not have to be present. You can add up to three per AP.

People couldn't even handle the self service kiosks at Smokejumper's Grill -- remember those? They didn't last long and the cashiers were reinstated. I dread even thinking about what would happen without the ticket booths. For straightforward ticket purchases, people can just use the app and go right to the gates.

Oh good, thanks for the info. Hopefully it will still be running smoothly and not too crowded later this month!

There's other things they do at ticket booths, like Annual Passes, which require a face to face transaction.

They do, it’s called the Disneyland Resort App. Much more preferable to a kiosk IMO. Just think how much of a pain the self serve kiosks in airports can be these days.
All the best.

Another reason is for people like us who buy military tickets. You have to show military identification. We don't have a ITT office near us so we have to get them at the parks.

Because Disney IT is crap so the idea of Disney self service kiosks strikes fear in the heart of anyone whose experienced the dark side of Disney IT.

Agreed. Last time I upgraded a park hopper to an annual pass it took 20 minutes at the ticket booth. The cast member was writing a novel. Took way too many keystrokes
