Early Expiration Date for Undercover Tourist Physical Tickets?

[boilermakeric]

We received 6-day MYW physical tickets in mail today from UT, with a sticker on the order stating an expiration date of February 28, 2019. I was thoroughly confused by this, as I thought all expiration dates ended on December 31, with rolling years 1+ year out?

I called Disney to get an separate confirmation of this date, and the CM confirmed it, but with complete confusion of her own. (Actually their system showed March 14, 2019, but she mentioned that was somewhat consistent with the 14 day total use window). She mentioned that in 5 years of ticketing, had never seen such a date show for expiration, versus year-end options.

I looked back through the fine print on UT's website, and did see some language that they have some remaining December 31, 2018 tickets in their stock, but that doesn't seem to fit here either. I can actually see "born on" dates of these physical tickets within the last month. I would have thought those naturally adopt a December 31, 2019 expiration.

Any others finding the same situation? Ideally, this will be a non-issue for us as we have a trip planned for October of this year to consume these tickets. But I'm nervous in the background if something disrupts that travel and we are left with an early expiration; especially with the expected introduction of tiered multi-day pricing.

If they do expire before you can use them, at least you won't lose your money.
You will be able to use their value (maybe even the full "Disney value" for identical tickets) to help pay for
NEW tickets when you do get to make a WDW trip.
Not ideal, but much better than just losing your "investment."
