Changing a childs NE ticket to an adults NE ticket years in the future when they are older

[ninafeliz]

I was thinking about buying extra childrens 10 day non expiring park hoppers to use in the future. But I have a couple of different questions/scenarios I was woondering about before I buy.

#1 What will happen if they become a Disney adult before they use all of the days on a ticket but some are used? I know they have always just converted it to an adult ticket with no charge, and I assume they will still do the same even if it is non expiring and they (at that time) won't have sold non expiring tickets for years. Or do you think they would not be able to continue the non expiring aspect since they no longer sell them?

#2 what will happen if for some reason we don't get to using a ticket at all, and we need to make it an adult ticket because they are now disney adults? What difference in price would we pay, since they won't have a current price for non-expiring tickets? Or would we be out of luck on the non expiring part, in which case we would lost a ton of money to take a regular 10 day ticket instead.

Can kids use adult tickets, since they are only like $20 more should I just buy adult tickets on the chance they aren't used before they becone adults? We only use non expiring tickets for short trips with 3 or less park days, for longer trips we usually buy tickets for the trip and for this year we have an AP.

Thanks for your help/advice/thoughts. I hope I was clear enough.

I have the reverse problem that I just posted about in another thread. Two days ago I bought my daughter an adult NE because I wasn't sure when she would use it. But now I want to use it for a spontaneous weekend trip in April and I am not sure if I will be able to assign it to her in MDE. I will try to do so when I receive it but advance knowledge would help me in planning, possibly budgeting for a new ticket, etc.

Disney doesn't penalize children for becoming adults and will swap the child ticket for an adult one at no extra cost. You can still exchange the original A-B-C-D-E ticket booklet for a MYW ticket, so I can't see them not honoring a NE ticket.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure they'll honor it and I am reasonably sure if they've used days they wil change it to an adult ticket that is still non-expiring. What I'm less sure of is what Disney will do if the kids have never used the ticket and we want to change it to an adult 10 day non expiring park hopper, because by that time they won't have sold park hoppers for at least 7 years (my youngest is almost 2)

I *thought* they would let kids use adult tickets, but since I'm not sure I was hoping someone here would know for sure!

They will do an upcharge.
They will have a price for doing so at that time.
