Multiple tickets MDE question

[HolidayRose]

My family of 5 is staying offsite with four days spent at WDW. Two people have very old 4 day hoppers from UT. Two of us have very old 3 day hoppers from UT and I just purchased a one day regular (non MK) ticket for each of those two. The fifth person has an Orbitz voucher.

I know I have to call Orbitz to get the magic number, so I will do that. I don't foresee any problems with the two 4 day hoppers or the Orbitz ticket. I am confused as to how the system will use the other tickets. I want to use the single day tickets on our EPCOT day since that is the only day I'm certain we won't hop. Is there any way to accomplish this?

You must have the tickets prioritized at guest relations before entering the park. I would either stop in guest relations the night before or leave time first thing outside the gate at GR. The turnstiles will search for the first available ticket so if you leave it to chance it may use your park hopper ticket instead. Bring everyone's MB

We are staying off-site so we won't have magic bands, I think? I suppose we have to go to GR anyway to trade the old tickets in so I'll prioritize them then. Thank you Wishes Count.

If you are not using MagicBands, you don't need to "prioritize" anything.

All you need to do is take any older tickets to any ticket booth or Guest Relations and they will (free of charge)
convert them (individually) to new RFID plastic tickets that can be used at any of the parks for entry
and same-day FP+ reservations.

Same goes for the Orbitz voucher…

Then, YOU can just use whichever ticket on whichever day at whichever park you choose.

OK, thank you, Robo; I'm obviously not thinking well today.

What Robo suggested is what we did during our last Dec. '13 visit and actually upgraded them also. New plastic tickets were issued, no problem.

But if you want to book any FP+ in advance you will need to link both tickets to those people on MDE. These tickets still need to be prioritized.

Ticket A 1d PH and Ticket B 1 day are both linked to "Joe". In the computer system these tickets are now stacked together. If Ticket A is on top it will draw from it EVEN if you physically use Ticket B at the gate.

Prioritizing is necessary if you plan to link and book FP ahead of time.
