Is this ok -- conference ticket question

[kniquy]

I did post this on the theme park thread, but i thought i could get some input from the knowledgeable fellow DVCers.

I will be attending a conference coming up -- I have an AP for this year but i did notice that i am given the option to buy discounted tickets. I am wondering if anyone has ever purchased conference ticket and use them at a later date. Here is a quote from the terms of use:

Tickets are for sale ONLY to individuals attending a meeting or convention in Central Florida for their and their companions' use during their stay, or to meeting planners for ultimate use by those individuals or their companions during their stay.

But this next statement make it sounds like i could use them later -

Tickets will be valid for use only for entrance to the applicable Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park(s) of the applicable ticket type. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Tickets, bonus visits and options, if any, must be used within 14 days after the date of first use. First use (or use of a 1-day ticket) must be by December 31, 2018.

The conference is in April so if that is the case why would they allow these tickets to be used up until 12/31/18? Buying tickets for what i need would save me only a little over $100, so i am just not sure if i would run into any problems if me and my family would use them in April of 2018 -- certain before the expiration date.

Any thoughts or experiences with this?

How do you obtain conference tickets? Are they able to be linked to MDE?

Every conference ticket I've bought from Disney has a use by date that is close to the conference date. I'd wonder if IT just copied over general ticket use instructions.

It really depends and may not be worth the gamble. Some times the tickets they sell aren't true conference tickets and expire at the end of the year and sometimes they are only valid the week before during and after the conference.

Guess ill just play it safe. Not really worth the minimal savings (comparatively). I might actually call just to inquire about the policy, and will report back in case this affects anyone else.

I wish DVC would offer a evening admission for Epcot as a perk. Not a freebie but a discount .
