I also have DVC tickets, and the purchase confirmation email includes this wording - I don’t know if this means they will ask to see the DVC ID to get the party wristbands.
Is this certain? I was telling my family to buy tickets through UT once the 90 day mark hits (hoping the night isn't sold out) so they can get refunded most of their money but, if Disney will let them put the money toward a ticket in the future, maybe it's best to do that before there's a chance for them to be sold out. Of course it's not a refund but I'm sure they'll plan to go another year in the future. Also, if this is true, do you have to call them to let them know you won't be using the ticket or, when you call in the future, they will see the unused ticket in your MDE?
I honestly never had to show an AP or DVC card for party or after hours tickets. A DVC-discounted AP is different because you need to activate that at Guest Relations or a ticket window. The live party tickets with a MB or card should be fine. If DVC early entry returned that would be different, but don't try entering during the DVC only time.
Thanks for the info, this is a new process for me,
Thanks so much! And, I guess this is the same for unused UT Halloween party tickets in your MDE? The price you pay will be applied to a future ticket? Can it be any type of ticket or only a special event?
Neither have I but I wanted to see if anyone had done this exact thing without any problems. When I asked DVC, they said that while I was welcome to purchase tickets for others with the discount, I (or the other Owner) must be present for all of us to use them because ID proof will be required. I've never had to show the proof before and this might just be the rule that they must state when asked. That's why I was checking to see if anyone had gotten in without a problem using these discounted tickets without the proof.
Thank you, Leigh L! I hadn't checked the SOG ticket prices page (duh! I logged in, but didn't look at the right page.) Anyway, I am wicked surprised that the adult price on the day needed is a bit more than the DVC/AP price. I did see the higher cost listed on the military tips site but I thought it was a typo since I expected the military price to at least = the DVC/AP price. The good news is I won't need to order from SOG (& pay postage.) I'll buy directly from Disney. I will need to pay $11.47 more (tax) but I won't have to make a special trip or, as I mentioned, pay postage so it's the better option for me this time.
I think it was last year, the discount for the parties became very minimal. Last year I think it only saved the tax.
May I ask how long ago you ordered? Mine are in MDE but we did not get them in the mail.
You made a great call! I wouldn’t have gone last Fall if my friend hadn’t wanted to so badly. She had to bail and since the weather cooperated I decided what the heck, I’ll go! I LOVED it. I was an adult standing there watching the Boo To You Parade grinning from ear to ear. Fun atmosphere, fun outfits, just a special time in the MK!
It does! Thank you!
