After reading a few posts, I have to ask the question... can i combine some of my tickets for a MYW ticket? and if so, what would be the advantage of that?

Currently my husband and I have: :teacher:
3- 1 day park hoppers
1- 2 day park hopper (left over from a 4)
1- 2 day park hopper plus (left over from a 5)
 
I would suggest having one of you use up all the old tickets and the other purchase a MYW pass for the entire vacation, if it is 5 to 7 days.

1. It is an excellent bargain to use old tickets as-is during a vacation when no new tickets are needed to finish the vacation or if the vacation is 1, 2, 3, 11, or 12 days long.

2. It is a very bad bargain for one person to use old tickets for part of a 5 to 10 day vacation and buy a new ticket with less than 10 days to finish it off.

You can trade up one old ticket towards each new pass you buy, the result is generally better than #2 above although not as good as #1 above.

Example for #2. You have six days. If you buy an all new 6 day pass that will cost you just three dollars more than a 5 day pass. So using an old ticket and buying a 5 day pass throws away the old pass for the sake of three dollars.
 
i never thought of it that way. Thanks so much for the info!
 
You can only use one old ticket toward any one new ticket. You will be better off using your tickets as is, as their value toward a new ticket decreases every year.
 

Use up your old tickets. They are not worth very much toward the MYW tickets. My parents experienced this last week. They both had 2 days left on their old PHP's (1997). Well, the CM said to trade them in for the MYW ticket they would only save about $12-15 because Disney doesn't take the value from the beginning of the days, they take it fromt the end. So, if you've looked at the new pricing, you know it is only a few dollars more to go from a 5 day MYW to a 7 day MYW. If I would have thought about it, I would have told my parents to have one of them use up all the days on the 2 PHP's and the other one get the MYW ticket, but the CM was staring us in the face and we had already said one was his and one was hers. It could have saved them a few bucks. My parents really did feel kind of ripped off, though.
