Linking old paper tickets

[Sunshine2U]

I have 3x hopper tickets, each with 1-2 days remaining - they're the paper ones from around 2002. Is there a way to get them converted to the new ticket formats without visiting the park? I want to use them with our other tickets to book FP at 60 days?

I was just told no when I called, but seem to recall something I had seen about getting them linked to Magic Bands in advance. We have a resort reservation for November. Thanks!!!

I had one from back in 2006 that I linked--I had to call and tell them the name on the card and type used to purchase them, the last park visited, and when (year) they were bought. Don't know which number you called but this is from the ticket linking page:

Is the purchase date printed on your ticket prior to 2007? Please call (407) 939-4357 for information on how you can use pre-2007 tickets. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.

Thanks Robin!

The telephone number Robin provided was correct. It took about 2 weeks but the tickets have been added. I was told they have a backlog and work on them in order of reservation date. Ours is Nov. 2 so still in plenty of time to reserve FP.

QUESTION: I see the two tickets in MDE. They say they are 5-day Hopper Passes but I don't see a way to verify number of days remaining on each ticket. Is there some point in the FP reservation process when I will be able to tell how many days remain on the tickets?

You can go to the FP area of MDE now and book consecutive days of FPs. When MDE alerts you that you've used your number of entitlements, then you'll know how many days remain on the tickets.

Then, go back to each FP and Cancel them.

Thanks so much - worked perfectly once I realized I could pretend like I was going in August (instead of our November dates). So sad - only one day remaining on the 5-day passes. But can't really complain since they've been in our "safe" for over 10 years.
