Child parkhopper, now he is 11, help question

[davesdog]

We have 2 days left on my friends child parkhopper pass, but he is 11 now. How is this handled. These were purchased when he was 8.

Thanks for any help!

You can trade the ticket in at guest relations at any park for an equal pass that is an adult pass instead of the child pass.

No money is required but the child must be present and the dates must make sense. You don't want a 13 yo wanting to upgrade a ticket used last month! The CM will be able to identify the ticket, its prior uses and dates and when and where it was purchased. The CM can reissue a new adult ticket with the same number of park admission days and plus options if applicable.

So take the ticket and the 11 you to the booth and you are all set.

We'll be there in Jan. This sounds like A winner to me! Since they don't want you selling partially used tickets, I wasn't sure what we were going to do about the childs parkhopper... I know there not planning on more children, so this will do the trick !!

Thanks again!

It is very easy to do at any guest services. Universal doesn't have the same policy--you have to pay to upgrade your ticket to adult costs.

Before doing this last August, I called Disney to confirm (it sounded too good to be true!). Anyway, yes, they did confirm it, and told me to go to any Guest Services place. Guess what? The GS person who helped me tried to get me to pay for the upgrade difference! However, I stood firm on what I had been told on the phone, and eventually someone else came along and they got it straightened out. So, just a warning.

We had 2 days left on Passes bought when DS was 6. Last summer, when he was a 5'9" 20 yo, they got him in to Epcot and MGM without question. We just went through the gate. I think it was pretty obvious that the person with the "child" pass wasn't a child.
