How soon can you use your park tickets??

I am not sure what board to post this question on. We have a one night reservation for POP on Sat. Nov 8th. and a 6 night reservation Nov. 9-16.
Because of Free Dining dates it would not be all on one reservation. I have no tickets on the Nov 8th reserv. and I have 7 days on the 6 night one. Question is, can we start using our tickets on Sat. Nov. 8th??? We really don't need tickets the day we fly out anyway.

You should have no problem using yours on the 8th!

When you check-in on the 8th at Pop, ask if you can start using your package tickets a day early. If the answer is no (and this is not uncommon), then when you arrive at the theme park that day, go to Guest Relations outside the front entrance. The park map you pick up at the resort Concierge desk will show where GR is located. Tell them you are there for early package ticket pick-up. They will want to see your package reservation info, and a photo I.D. You won't be able to get your dining credits early, just tickets.

OK, thanks. Hate to go to Epcot with a 6 year old and be told no though. She will be so disappointed. Maybe we will just do DD.

I thought that early pickup for package tickets was against the current policy.

At this time it is still allowed to pick up your tickets up to three days before the start of a pkg. We did this last year in November. We arrived a day before our pkg started so I went to guest relations in epcot ( was the least crowded at the time) we were a party of three. I brought all three magic bands plus my licence and had no problem getting this done. I did try it at the resort but they had no idea how to do it.

I posted on your other thread and corrected the link to the Ticket Sticky, but I'll add the link here as well. This time it's the correct link. The procedure is in post 15-I:
