keeping tickets separate

[auntyjenn]

Do you hate the questions that start, "This may be a stupid question, but...." Well, How do you tell your tickets apart if you send one person in your group out to get fastpasses for everyone? Can you write names on them, or do you have to memorize the little numbers on the back?

Don't they have characters on them, such as Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, etc.? (I have an AP so I'm not sure if the characters are on MYW tickets) If there aren't too many people in your group, maybe it would be easiest to remember by the character on your ticket?

They have different characters on them and we remember whose is whose that way. But I wouldn't see why you couldn't write on the character side with a sharpie.

Sharpie is the way we're going to go. I hope it won't rub off, though. We've got the plastic tickets, and both adult tickets we were sent have the same character, so we can't tell them apart from looking at them. Doh!!

The MYW tickets have a space to write your name.

With the new ticket tag system all the passes will have individual names on them. If you are staying on site and the tickets are encoded to your resort key card the name will be printed on the card and each person will have to sign the back of his/her card. If they are the myw tickets (not on the key card) then each party still has to sign the back to enusre the same person uses the pass each time.

Even if you are using an old park hopper the cm will likely ask you to sign it when its is next used.

So no worries, each ticket will have the name now!

We got 10 NE passes w. the free PH and pluses for our trip in Jan for 3 nights after a 4 night cruise. Will we just hold onto out KTTW card with the unused days on them?

If you are staying onsite and bought your park passes as part of your package then when you check into your resort each member of your family will get a room key (hard plastic like a credit card) that has their name on it which is a room key and there park pass ... so real easy to tell whose is whose

If you have bought your tickets separately, which we did, I just wrote each persons name (initials actually) on the back of their ticket. That way we could keep them straight for park entry, fast passes etc.

Sharpie markers have worked on ours. From personal experience, the markings do start eroding after about 2 years or so... It's been that long for us; in a few weeks, we're heading to WDW for the first time after adopting our son.

I use ID badge holders with a plastic card holder and a laynard-each person wears their own. We have also written initals on the corner with a sharpie

 

[auntyjenn]

Thank you. I'm so excited. I hope you all have as much fun as I plan on having!

Going in January

Yes, hold on to unexhausted non-expiring tickets and unused tickets for future vacations.

It is a good idea to re-verify KTTW cards (room keys) with unused admission ticket privileges before you go home. Once in awhile a room key is found to be defective where the defect shows up only when the admission privileges are used during the same vacation which use is not always favorable.

Our annual passes kept demagnetizing, or something, so we kept having to get them replaced at guest services. Now, get this... eventually we were all using passes with the same image on them; albeit they do have our names printed on the other side, but you would *think* (!) that the CM might endeavour to avoid us getting all the same image for confusion purposes - especially with annual passes which traditionally have needed a finger scan! (I know all tickets do now). But, anyways, the CM said that the images were random and printed at the time on the ticket.... Now does that sound wrong to you? I mean, I can understand if the images were in random order on pre-printed tickets, but surely the machine at Guest Services doesn't print the image at the time of purchase, nor print on both sides of the ticket.

The CM is absolutely correct. The ticket stock that is used by Guest Relations and the ticket booths comes on a roll (think of paper towels on a roll but smaller). The character designs are already printed on them but they are done in a random order. That means the CM cannot pull up a Mickey ticket or a Minnie ticket on every fourth one. He/she has no idea what will come up until they print out your ticket and it comes out of the machine.

Disney does this to stop the waste that would be involved if everyone asked for a ticket with a specific character or design.

Not only that.... but the encoders also have several ticket rolls inside that encoder. Most tickets print off Roll #1 or Roll #2, but there are a grand total of FOUR ticket rolls inside that encoder, all with images printed in a random order on the rolls.

I used to work at AAA and sell Disney tickets and people would say "Now little Johnny wants goofy, and Sarah wants Minnie, and my husband wants Mickey and...." NO!!

I know when I sold them- we have to sell the exact serial numbers in order. It wasn't like I just had a big pile of tickets and could pick and choose.
