no expire tickets and water park plus question

[brenda1966]

Thinking about buying my tickets prior to the expected increase this weekend...

Was planning on the 10 day no expire hopper plus water parks. You get 10 water park (or disney quest) visits. That's a LOT! I just want to make sure that my 10 water park visits also do not expire.

I would expect to use up my 10 park days within 3 years, but would probably only use half of my water park days in the next 3 years. So, will they also not expire, even after I've used my last park day?

TIA

Yes, if you add no expiration, all the entitlements on your ticket (all your theme park days AND all your fun visits) are good forever, until you use them up. I've seen non-expiration tickets with all the theme park days used up and 7 or 8 water parks still left. These are invaluable for future trips when you might decide on the spur of the moment to visit a water park or DisneyQuest.

Thanks! Now the key is to not lose them.

Exactly. My recommendation: take a picture of the back of each ticket (focus on the string of numbers at the bottom of the ticket) with a digital camera and print a few copies to keep in a safe place. As long as you have those strings of numbers and can verify with the CM that the tickets are yours, they can be reprinted at any of the ticket windows or Guest Relations at any of the parks.

Yes, good idea. I've also heard to scan them or photograph and then email yourself a copy to save, etc. Good idea to have multiple copies around!

that Undercover Tourist keeps a record of your ticket numbers in case they are lost. We still make a copy that we carry with us to Disney.

We added the WPAM option on our last tickets with non expiry. When I explained that the water park entries would last beyond the major park entries she wouldn't believe me. She checked with the conceirge at our resort to verify.

Take a photo of the back of the ticket. This way if they get lost they can be recreated. I learned this the hard way.
