Making ticket non-expiry????

[kjs1976]

We have one park hopping day and 4 water parks and more options left on our ticket from last week. We planned to make it non-expiry when we checked out, but the girl that checked us out didn't speak English very well, messed up our bill, which took a while to correct, and we were running behind to the airport by this time so did not have a chance to do that.

Can we call or go to a Disney store before the 14 days are up after we first used our tickets to make them non-expiry???? Thanks!!!

Normally no. You should not leave ticket modifications to the last minute.

Disney Stores are no longer part of Disney; they were sold off (spun off) several years ago.

Actually I do not know of any recorded instance where Disney added non-expiration to a guest's ticket after the guest got back home but who knows, under the circumstances you described, you might receive an extra sprinkling of pixie dust.

Your only hope (and be forewarned that it's a bare glimmer of hope) is to contact Disney Ticketing and plead your case with them. 407-566-4985 Monday through Friday 8:30-4:30

I wouldn't expect much but if anyone can help you, it would be them.

Have you done the math on how much it will cost you to add this to your tickets?

We had purchased 10 day tickets and we ended up only using 8 days so we had 2 days still left on our tickets. So I went to the front desk and they went thru the math with me and it would cost us more to put the non expiring on there (we would have to put it on all 10 days) then it would to just buy a 2 day ticket. So it wasn't worth it for us.

Depending on how many days you were there, I would check to make sure it's worth it.

I think only the Themepark admissions are non-expiring, I think the plus features will expire regardless of the non-expiring option being purchased. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

You should def investigate.

I am almost positive non-expiring would apply to the extras, like WP days, as well. I am certain they did not expire on the old park hoppers. We actually still have 6 of those with 2 or 3 extras left on them, and we plan to use them. It would not make sense to have those expire when you paid for non-expiring! I guess it pays to decide ahead of time if you will really use all of the extra options.

We had a mix-up with 2 of our group's tickets last Fall. Due mostly to bad information we could not get it resolved before catching our plane.

We wrote them with the address Guest Services gave us (PM me if you need it). We included all the relevant information (copies of tickets, etc) and they took care of the problem -- giving us a reference number which a CM could use on our next visit. Good luck!

Yep you're right I just looked it up, the plus options do not expire if the non-expiration is purchased.

But it still may be cost prohibitive to add on the non-expiring option depending on the length of the original ticket.

Leftover water park options may change a non-expiration charge from "prohibitive" to "desirable".

For math PhD's only, example only: Non-expiration for a 7 day pass is $69. Count two points for each remaining park day, one point for every remaining plus. For the OP, one day and 4 plusses equals six points. Divide $69 by 6 points (if it was a 7 day pass) and you get $12. per point. The seventh day cost $2. to begin with so adding the cost of the 2 points of non-expiration makes the investment $26. Since gate price of water park admission (2) already enjoyed exceeds the cost of water park fun, the entire cost of the water park fun is absorbed in the first vacation, leaving zero dollars and one point, total $12. investment per remaining plus.
