Can child use Adult ticket?

[LSUmom4kids]

I may be able to get a good deal on some DW tickets from a friend who bought tickets and can't use them (they need money instead). The tickets are all Adult tickets. Could my 8 yr. old DD use an Adult ticket? Or will they require her to have a child ticket because of the finger scan issue?

My entire deal would cost less then buying her a separate child's ticket. Does anyone know?

What kind of tickets are they? Many passes (like 1 park 1 day) do not require the finger scanner. Annual passes do.

I highly doubt Disney would care that a child is using a (more expensive, therefore more profitable) adult ticket. They would care if non-transferrable tickets were being transferred (see the ticket itself). If the ticket has never been used, then that probably does not matter.

Just my best guess.

BTW, I have seen entire families turned away because they have tickets they got somewhere that were expired, non-transferrable, etc. If it is not allowed, they will not hesitate to make you pony up for valid tickets there at the park. They get taken advantage of enough that they will call out invalid tickets - if it is not their fault, they won't bend much. (and I agree with them).

Your best bet is to get the original purchaser (with the tickets in hand) and both get on the phone to tickets and reservations to find out the exact status and valid use of the tickets.

We were at WDW last May with group tickets. The discount through the group was far cheaper than a regular price child ticket. My 6 year olds used these adult tickets with no problems. They didn't require them to finger scan.

Disney won't give any information like that out on the phone - only at Guest Services - so that people won't be able to sell partially used tickets.

As others have said, if the tickets have not been used at all, then you will not have a problem using an adult ticket for a child at the parks. If ANY of the days have been used, then none of you will be able to use them.
