Calling all AP/ticket experts! Questions about AP and tickets...

[holden]

Hi ticket experts! I have a tricky question for you...

We are not renewing our current APs, which expire one day into our next trip. Instead, I purchased 6 day non expiring water park fun & more tickets from UT. On our next trip (a short one - parks only, no water parks), we will use our last AP day on Day 1, and then use the UT tickets for Days 2 and 3.

If I link the UT tickets to MDE, I will have our AP and the 6 day non-expiring tickets on at the same time. How will the Magic Band scanner know which one to use on our first day? I don't want it to use the non-expiring tickets because we want to save the remaining 4 days for another visit along with the 6 water park days.

I'm thinking that I shouldn't link the UT tickets until after Day 1 of our trip to avoid any confusion, but that would mean we couldn't book FP+ for Days 2 & 3 until we are already on the trip.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you make a new MDE and link the UT tickets to that? Then you could make your FP at 30 days and you wouldn't have to worry that the wrong ticket is being used.

I never even thought of that! But if I did that I wouldn't be able to book at 60 days, which I guess is ok (we are staying at a Disney resort, so we should be able to book at 60 days).

At least that's a possible solution. Thanks!

Stop at a Guest Relations location prior to entering a park and have them prioritize your tickets.

Yes. Absolutely.
