I'm one of the people who have an AP, but bought a 7 day MYW ticket in order to get the free dining. I just called to have them add my info for DME and got a really nice, helpful CM (Jacquelyn) who as we were going over my information mentioned that she saw we had MYW tickets. I mentioned to her that yes we did, but only my son and D-I-L would be using theirs as I had an AP which I planned to use and then would use my MYW ticket next year after my AP expired. She got real quiet for a minute and then said she wanted to put me on hold while she checked something. Several minutes later she came back and said that if we had bought the tickets seperately that wouldn't be a problem, but since they were part of a pkg that the MYW tickets would automatically be activated at check-in and I would need to add the no expiration option. I told her I had specifically asked that question when I booked and the CM checked with guest services who told her as long as I didn't ever put the ticket into a turnstile it wouldn't activate. She said she had just checked with guest services and was told that with a pkg the tickets activate automatically at check-in. I told her I was a member of three different discussion boards and alot of AP holders on all three boards were doing the same thing I was and had been told by the CMs that it wouldn't be a probelm. She said 'let me get a another opinion' and then put me on hold for almost 15 minutes while she checked.
She finally came back and said I was right and the ticket would not be activated unless I put it in a turnsile. I said no problem as I planned on locking my room key up in the safe and just using my son's or D-I-L's room keys for the free dining. She then said we would all have to have our room keys to 'pay' for our meals, and that the meals would not be pooled onto one room key. She also told me the people in guest services were really still discussing whether or not the MYW tickets purchased as part of a pkg would automatically be activated at check-in, as there were still some of them arguing that it would. They better make their minds up, as there are going to be alot of mad AP holders, if it comes out that we can't use these MYW tickets next year as we were told. I'm tempted to go ahead and pay the extra $55.00 to add the no expiration to my ticket just to be safe. What do you guys think?
