MDE with Multiple Tickets

[FidFam]

I have a question I hope someone can help answer for me...

We have multiple tickets linked with our MDE account - several years ago when we heard the 10day no expiration ticket was going to be discontinued we purchased one for each of us in the family and linked it to our accounts so we'd have those tickets always available in the future.

We are now heading down this October for our annual pilgrimage to WDW but my youngest sister (who's a member of the military) is going with us and she purchased the Armed Forces Salute tickets that we plan to use on this trip. We've linked them to our accounts but now there are two tickets in there for each person.

How do we make sure when we use the Magic Band to enter the parks during the trip that it actually "pulls" a day from Armed Forces Salute tickets and not the 10day no expiration tickets from MDE? Anyone know? I did a brief search on the boards and couldn't seem to find a recent thread about this situation.

You'll go to guest services before entering the park and have them prioritize the tickets to make sure the military ticket is used first.

You can call now and ask them to prioritize your tickets, but I would still do as CAS239 suggested and confirm it before you enter the park. I often have the scenario of multiple tickets because I take groups and may have several trips in a month. Instead of waiting in a guest services line, I approach the entry tapstyles and look for a CM holding an Ipad. (Sometimes these CMs are only on the other side of the touchpoints, but I have always been able to call one over -- nicely!) I ask them to scan my band to double check that I have the correct ticket prioritized. They can fix it if it is not correct.

Thank you both! I'll call tomorrow and ask them to prioritize our AFS tickets...

I just created a second account on MDE and linked the tickets that I planned on using for my December trip over to my new account leaving my 10 day no expire ticket on the original acct.
