Old Child Tickets for Older Kids

[DadtheKid]

We have 2 tickets with no expirations that were purchased for the kids when they were younger. They are now 11 and 13. Can we still use them for the kids?

Yes the tickets are still theirs to use anytime in their lives.

When they look obviously too old they can exchange what is left on the tickets for adult admission, no charge.

Where is this done, and how much credit would one get? My DD's gf is going with us this weekend, and she's 14 now. She has a bunch left from when she went last time, when she was 6.

You should be able to do it at ticket windows. I'm not sure about guest relations or hotels..... It's not totally necessary to trade them in for adult tickets, but if you do, you'll just get an adult ticket with the number of days that were left on the child's ticket.

Right, go to Guest Relations at any of the parks. You should be able to do it at Guest Relations at Downtown Disney as well. Not sure about the Resorts. We've had to exchange our child's admission to an adult admission two times and found that Epcot Guest Relations was most efficient. Our DD had two days and three plusses left from an old ticket and she received two days and three plusses on an adult admission. It worked very well and DD11 was delighted to be an adult!

Maybe you have to go to GR now, but 2 years ago, DS used his child's ticket's last day from 1989. In 1989 he was 6 yo. A couple years ago, at the age of 21, he went into MGM with his Child's ticket.

He must have made a pit stop without you.

In 1996, all of the tickets went to the current mag stripe type tickets. If for no other reason, he would have had to stop to exchange his admission for the mag stripe type of ticket.

Nope, I was with him from the time we left the hotel. He just showed the ticket to the CM at the entrance, who stamped it, then opened the gate for him to walk through. You're right that the ticket didn't have a magnetic stripe, but he never needed one.
