Old Ticket Question

[Badge]

So, last year I had a MYW + Free dining package for 9 nights (9 day PH's) for 2 adults. 12 hours before the flight, my friend backed out of the trip. I still went and had a blast!

When I go into my account now, I still see her unused 9 day park hopper and it gives me the option to reassign it to myself. I just have a few questions about this.

1) Can I apply the value of the unused ticket to my next trip I have booked?

2) If I reassign the ticket, what magic band will it go to? When looking at my account's Magicbands and Cards page, I have 6 listed just for me (2 bands, 4 cards) with another on order for my next trip. I currently only have 1 band and none of the cards.

3) Say I reassign the ticket to myself so my magic band has 2 valid tickets (the old one and the new 7 day PH for my Sept trip). When I go to the park, will it know to use my 7 day ticket or will it default to the oldest ticket on the band?

Ideally I can just apply the value of the old ticket to my current package total but if not, I would like to save that 9 day PH to use next year when I go to visit Avatar to save some money. Just confused how it all works.

You can't apply a ticket's value to a future trip.

Leave the ticket where it is linked (friend's Profile) until you need to use it. When you actually know you'll be using it, reassign it to your MDE Profile/line and all linked MagicBands will provide the link to the ticket.

Short answer:

Don't do anything with or to the ticket until you are ready to use it as a ticket at WDW.

Thanks for the advice.

My only other concern is with the FP+ then. Last year, when I clicked the button to pick FP+ times, it had a little lock on it and would say what date I could make them. Now it lets me "make" them but when I pick myself as the "party" it says I don't have a valid ticket so I can't pick the rides. I take it because I am not at the correct time, it doesn't think I have a ticket. If I check in on Sept 15th, what day can I make FP+ reservations?

It's showing an open FP booking window based on your friend's linked ticket.

Your FP booking window opens 60 days before Sept 15th based on your package check-in date. You can begin booking at 7:00a that day.
