Old Pleasure Island ticket question

[esulerzy]

I have four old Pleasure Island tickets (when the Island itself required admission). I bought them at a Military commissary and have never used them. Since Pleasure Island/nightclubs are going away, do you think Disney would give me any value on them towards a 10-day hopper, no expiration ticket? I still have the receipt of what I paid for them.

My next trip is in March so I guess I could take them with me but thought a Dis'er ticket guru could give me an answer now

If you bought them a while ago, I doubt it. Even though you won't have the option to use them after the end of September, you bought them some time ago and had plenty of time to put them to use. You chose, for whatever reason, not to use them in the ensuing time. Now, if you havent' taken a trip to WDW between the time you bought the PI passes and next March, you may have a case -- saying that you bought them years ago with the express purpose of using them in March 2009 -- but I'm thinking that might be a tough sell.

However, if you do get Disney to let you put the value towards a 10-day hopper, you will only be able to use one of them per hopper. Disney ticket policy has always been that tickets can only be upgraded on a one-to-one basis. You can't bundle four PI tickets together to put towards one hopper. If they let you trade them in at all, you'll only be able to put the price of one PI ticket towards the price of one hopper.

People still turn in unused River Country and Discovery Island tickets for credit with no problem. You should have no problem doing the same with PI tickets.

The only time you might meet with resistance is if you attempt to turn in an unused ticket for a hard ticket event whose date has passed. Those tickets were sold expressly for a one time use on that date. All other tickets like RC, DI, PI, etc. were sold with a "good until used" presumption.
