Does Disney still honor the tickets that were bought

I don't quite understand what you wrote. But I think you are asking if you can use old tickets that have no expiration. yes you can. You can use them forever! But it is supposed to be teh same person that used it before. And I think the ydo a finger scan now to be sure the same person uses all the remaining days.

Yes, as a matter of fact, an adult friend of mine used some child tickets his parents bought 20 years ago. He did have to go to customer service at the park to change them to the new type of ticket, but other than that, no problem.

by my sister, and she and her dh just can't use them due to their schedules. She was going to give them to me so she hadn't wasted her money.

Wow I call Disney to ask about our kids ticket and they said there would be a charge to make them into adult tickets. I am jsut holding on to them for now. I have 1 adult and 2 kids with one day left, so it really didn't work for this tirp for us, but maybe at a later time we will use them.

TIA = Thanks in advance
sorry wasn't sure if that was what confussed you or not

We had tickets from 6 years ago that we were given from friends. We had no problem using them. Disney didn't give us any fuss what so ever that they weren't ours originally

I don't think it matters who originally bought them, it just matters who uses them. They scan people to make sure they don't give tickets away and let someone else use them.

This past May when we went to Disney, we used older multi-day tickets to get my Grandmother into the parks. I never had really paid attention to the small print on the back but it does say they are non-transferable. When my gramma had to put her finger in, she was confused by it because she had never used the system before. A manager up front noticed this and came running over and grabbed the ticket away from her and started yelling about how they were non-transferable and this wasn't her ticket, blah blah. I think they used to not pay as much attention to these things but are really cracking down now. You might get unlucky and have problems with it like we did.

I think it's kind of unfair. I understand not transfering APs between people, but if you bought the ticket, you should be able to do what you want with it. If we want gramma coming to the parks on our (old) dime, we should be able to have gramma come to the parks with old tix we can't use because we all have APs now. But I didn't get consulted on the rules

My old tickets are from before scanning days, so they technically wouldn't know. But some of mine are kids ones ,so if I should up with a 40 year old to use tehm, the ywould know it wasn't the same person. I've gotten different answers on what to do with them. No one is real clear. Some say use tehm with another kid. Some say the origional user can use them. I called Disney and was told it would cost to up grade them to a adult ticket now. But others say they never had to pay. Who knows?

I just used a ticket thatI had purchased back in 2001, before scanning days. I just gave it in at guest services at the hotel and they put it onto a new ticket that the machine would recognize. EASY and NO PROBLEM!

In 2003, I bought tickets and one of my sons was a junior at that time. In 2005, we went to Guest Services to check if the old tickets were still usable, and they were! They also re-issued the junior ticket to an adult ticket at no cost. Other than the wait at Guest Services, it was painless and a delightful surprise! We are using those tickets for our next WDW trip.

So I have two old tickets that are for kids from about 8 years ago. if I bring them this time they can upgrade them to adults ? And they still have no expiration? And I can do this at my resort? (POP) I plan to go in the future again, so if I could use them as adult tickets then, it would save us some cash.

It has to be done at Guest Services at a park or Downtown Disney but... as long as you bring the children with you to the window as evidence that they were actual children when you bought the tickets and have now aged to Disney-adult (if not actual adult), you should be able to exchange them for the equivalent days/entry on adult tickets.

I won't ever most likely have the two older ones with me again at the parks. I guess I'll just bring the tickets along and see what I can do.

The kids should keep their old tickets themselves for their own future use. You do not have to accompany them to do the exchange.

Self explanatory. However the CM should not have grabbed and yelled.
