A few ticket purchasing questions

[WDW4us2006]

I plan to buy an AP and a 4 day park ticket online this evening. I have a "bunch" of Disney gift cards I would like to use. Is there a number on how many you can use if paying online?


My FP+ reservation window has opened. If I link my voucher/will call ticket right after purchase, do you know if I can make FP+ reservations right away, or is there some kind of lag time?

Closer to our March trip, I will also be purchasing 4 one-day Epcot tickets for other members of our party (I just want to make sure everyone is still going). We are all staying offsite first with this particular party and then just my husband and I are moving to Beach Club later in the week. Therefore, I am not able to make FP reservations for our Epcot day (as we are not onsite yet), which I realize, which is fine. However, I want to create these friends and link their tickets on my MDE account so that when we arrive at Epcot, I feel like making same day FP will be easier/quicker as a group. We arrive in Orlando the day before we go to Epcot, and I am going to DTD guest services to get all of our tickets on that day, just in case there are any issues.

My question is: does anyone see any issues with doing this, or am I missing something? Does guest services have issues with processing pre-linked AP and ticket vouchers?


Thank you!

1- Is there a number on how many you can use if paying online?

2- do you know if I can make FP+ reservations right away,

3- or is there some kind of lag time?

1- For using multiple gift cards, try calling
WDW Ticketing at (407) 566-4985*(option 5)

2- Yes.

3- Any lag may be due to the MDE site's infamous glitches.

4- Nope. (Any issues that might arise could be due to the MDE site's infamous glitches.)

5- Nope. (Any issues that might arise could be due to the MDE site's infamous glitches.)

I purchased both the AP and 4-Day park ticket today online. I called the ticketing office but they are closed on Sunday, naturally!

What I ended up doing was splitting the order into 2 - so I was able to use 2 gift cards instead of 1, which worked fine. (FYI I was only able to use 1 gift card per order online and not 3 as I have read in a few posts previously)

I was then able to link both the AP and ticket instantly, and had my FP reservations made for two park days in about 5 minutes.

I created some new "friends" in my account for my Epcot day, which also took about 5 minutes. If their tickets link as well as this did, and the Epcot FP kiosk is in a "good mood", this should be smooth sailing.

So, Robo, as usual, you had all the right answers!

Thanks again.
