Comp tickets plus date based tickets tickets questions

[ThreeKMom]

Hi all! I'm a former Disney Store employee who's lucky enough to have a brother-in-law that works for ABC.
I have booked a trip for March 10-19.
I will be receiving 6 comp tickets- do I need to reserve a park for each ticket?
Are any of these dates blocked out?
If I add date based tickets to My Disney Experience how do I indicate which ticket to use each day?
Is there any other issues or restrictions when combining comp tickets and date based tickets?

I really miss my Disney Store and my 459 family! It was much easier with my main gate pass.

Thanks for your help

459? I worked there for 2 years before switching to 370. You DO have to be careful that they use the dated ticket on the day it is intended. I personally had them not use a dated ticket for my son, and used comp ticket, and then the next day we went to enter a park with the comp and found out 1. the comp had been used the day before, and 2. that dated ticket was now expired and gone as it was the next day. ARGHH. They DID fix it but it took about 1/2 hour. I was frankly surprised it did not pull a dated may 15 ticket, assigned to my son, ON May 15, but instead pulled a comp under his name.

So, you want them to prioritize the tickets correctly, and can also ask again at the turnstile. Sometimes they can do this at the resort, or guest services.

Hi Pat! I worked at 459 for 7 years - Lauren and Becky hired me as seasonal and I got to stay!

So I got very lucky with tickets from my BIL - he had 8! We won't need to purchase date based tickets so no worries.

This will be our first trip back since my DH was diagnosed with cancer - my youngest DD is a senior in college and is playing in her last spring break softball tournament so we will be in Disney for 9 days but only have time for 4 park days.

2024 was a tough year - I need some MAGIC!!!

MK is blocked on your dates- but that is for MEP not comp tickets. So have fun.
