multi-day ticket transferrability

[noryglory]

If one bought a multi-day adult ticket and different adults used it on different days to take kids into the park is that legal/fair/possible? I'm not talking about trying to use a ticket on a same-day basis, but for this: one adult uses days 1-3 and a different adult uses days 4-5 of a five-day ticket.

I'm not worried about the ethicality of this, as I understand it, it's a ticket, not a pass issued to a specfic person and it should be completely transferrable from one person to another. Just want to verify that is true and there's no "association" to one's ticket other than use by the day.

I know tickets don't need to be used consecutively, and expire within a larger set of days (like 12? 15? something like that) but I'm not worried about using them later. In our case it really would be consecutive day use, just by different people.

Thanks! Half our trip I'm taking with my friend and her kids, the other half will be with my husband and other son who meet us to continue on after my friend leaves. It seemed like it would make financial sense to buy one pass with more days on it and hand it off at the conclusion of the first use.

DLR clearly states on all their parkhoppers that they are not transferrable. However, this doesn't mean that it isn't done, and since they don't have you sign your hoppers and check it against an ID, there really isn't a way for them to enforce it.

I'm not about to go into the ethics of it all, but DLR is very clear that the tickets are non-transferrable.

From all that I've read, parkhoppers are non-transferrable. A multi day hopper is technically supposed to be used by one person, thus the discount on price from single day tickets. Would the cm's at the turnstiles know that you dh will be using a parkhoppers used by your friend earlier in the week? Probably not. There's a signature line on the back of parkhoppers and I believe can request that you sign it to avoid sharing a parkhopper but we've never signed our and have never been questioned about it.

I believe all your information above is correct.

A ticket is admission for one adult or one child, and doesn't distinguish between which adult or child. As you've said, Disney only cares about people trying to use the tickets to get multiple people into the park on the same day, which is not what you are doing at all. I've heard of people offering partially used tickets (with a day or more left unused) to others, and that is the same thing you are talking about here.

Given that there is a discount for subsequent days on each ticket (i.e. a 6-day park hopper is much less than 2 3-day park hoppers), Disney does care if you pass on a partially used ticket. WDW introduced the finger scanning thing in part to counter this. Selling partially used tickets is against the rules (not quite the right term, but you know what I mean). Just because people pass on their tickets (or sell them on E-bay), doesn't mean that this is legitimate.

Now, will DL "catch you" and/or doing anything about it? That is a different question.

Thanks everyone! I really don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I'm the constant on this trip and half my party is floating through at different times...

Since I and my son will have five-day passes I'd like the rights assigned to those passes to "match" the ones with my travelling companions. I'm "sharing" my vacation with my friend first, and then my husband. One is replacing the other on different days. Same vacation, same hotel room, same tickets, different people at either end.

I think in order to do this you should be forced to call your husband by your friends name when ever you use the tickets.

Tickets are non-transferable. When my BBF and her DBF came with us they had parkhoppers, they were asked to sign them before they could use them. Now, would that stop someone else from using them no but IMO it's against the rules and you shouldn't do it. When we went last year our park hoppers were hard plastic, like a credit card, no place to sign them but I still wouldn't pass them on if I didn't use them all. My 2cents.

my DH had to work one trip and we had already bout 3 day hoppers, his nephew used the ticket one day with us and DH met us there and used the other 2 . I feel no guilt we paid for 3 days and got 3 days use of the ticket.
