Help! Buying package but want to save passes because we have an annual pass

[Faline]

Before magic bands and my disney experience,you used to be able to separate tickets from key card by going to guest services and requesting a separate ticket. We currently have annual passes and want to save the tickets that come with the package, either to give to my children, or use at a later time. We definitely do not want to use them this trip. With the magic bands and my disney experience, I think that they would automatically be linked with my disney experience. Is there any way at all to separate them from my disney experience and or the magic bands. Or at least can they make it so our annual passes get used and not the tickets from this package so that they don't get activated, and we can use them next year or later? We are going with our children 2 months after this trip, and would prefer to give them the tickets, but if that is not possible, hopefully we can save them for another trip. Thanks for your help.

1. You can still do this.
2. You can still do this.
3. Correct.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. Yes.
7. You can.
8. You can choose to do that, if you like.

To accomplish any of this...
BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH THE PARK ENTRANCE GATE:
Just take your MagicBands to any Guest Relations or ticket booth OUTSIDE any WDW park or at TTC or at DTD
and ask that your current resort package tickets be put onto separate flat plastic RFID tickets.

We did this at Guest Relations.

They gave my wife a separate ticket and confirmed that her Annual Pass, and not the package ticket, was linked to her Magic Band. We still have the ticket for use on a future trip when we don't have a Free Dining package.

OP, your question is a good one, and Robo pointed out that they can still be removed and placed on separate media cards.

Many people don't realize that having more than one ticket on MDE could cause problems with the "wrong" tickets being used to enter a park. You could keep multiple tickets in MDE but you'd have to check with Guest Relations outside the park to select which ones are to be used. Even then, a "glitch" could rearrange the MDE ticket priorities if you don't stay vigilant about it. I totally agree with removing the extra tickets and taking them home.

Can we do this at the hotel at check in? We have a similar issue.

Please listen to this advice from Robo! It would have saved me and the kids about an hour of hassle/waiting at guest services. (I had thought I was so smart, marking my 'no expiration' tickets as 'inactive' on MDE on my computer before leaving for vacation because I had bought annual passes. I activated the annual passes at Epcot (outside guest services), and asked if they were priority. Thinking back, the response was non-committal... Anyway, I only realized after the kids and I went through the turnstiles on day THREE that they were dinging the no-expiration passes! AND, to top it off: they couldn't re-instate those days. Instead, they had to give me 9 live one day tickets (3 days, 3 of us) and told me I can't link them to MDE until my annual passes expire. I can only hope they are hoppers (I can't link to view them online, so who knows.)

Until they get this glitchy mess called MyMagic+ straightened out…

To do this safely, go to a Guest Relations outside any park, or at TTC or DTD.

Thanks Robo for your help. We are planning on Blizzard Beach for a low key first day. Can they take care of this there?

That should work.
