Can WDW tkts really be traded for WDL tkts?

I just read on another site that unexpired leftover days on a WDW ticket can be exchanged for WDL tickets, they just make a deduction and give you a WDL or DCA or Hopper in exchange-depending upon what you are trading? Is this true? Has anyone ever done it?

I would be thrilled if this is the case because in Feb we bought all 4 of us WDW 10 day Magic Your Way passes(as part of our package) with no exp, water parks & hopper features. At the time I figured the purchase would free up some $ for our 2007 WDW trip. NOW, we really want to do WDL & SoCal but the thought of the extra ticket expenses bugs me when we have about 10 days total for WDW just sitting in my Safety Deposit Box

Any experiences with this would be a great help.

Check the Disneyland board for info on this. I did this in June, but my WDW tickets were the old park hoppers and not the newer Magic Your Way tickets. I just handed them the ticket at the gate and told the CM it was a WDW ticket. CM pressed a button somewhere that called over another CM from somewhere else (in just a few minutes). The 2nd CM took the ticket somewhere and checked it and deducted a day from it and then brought it back. The gate CM then gave a DL park hopper to use for that day in the fastpass machines and for re-entry. Quite easy. I'm just not sure they do this with the newer Magic Your Way passes.

Yes, you can do this. I did in April. Just like previous post said. Felt like a "free day" at Disneyland & Calif Adventure since I wasn't going to use the days at WDW before they expired!

I'm wondering why you would do this since a day at DL costs less than a day at WDW.

In a word, guilt.

I already have close to $1,000 in tickets sitting in my Safety Deposity box whose purpose was to reduce our costs for 2007 (or so I told DH). There comes a point when even I think I'm being obscene with my WDW spending, of course it doesn't come along too often. To quote Captain Jack, "I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass me by."
