? on Disney World Tickets

[ctc917]

I have some tickets that were purchased when Disney sold Non-Expiring Tickets and I was wondering if anyone thinks that since Disney seems to be changing how they issue tickets over the last few years do you think there will come a time when they will no longer accept Non-Expiring Tickets? or do you think they will always accept them with the hopes that people will run out of the Non-Expiring tickets as some point where its now or years from now?

Thanks

They should be valid for the foreseeable future.

(Disney has never rendered older tickets invalid.)

If they open a 5th park, they may not let you into that new park with your old ticket (they did that with AK for a while)
But there is a high likelihood that your old ticket will always get you into MK.

Disney knows that the massive amount of bad publicity they would garner from invalidating a promised non-expiring ticket would cost sales rather than make them. Better to let a smiling customer in to the park "free" and let them spend money on concessions and balloons.

I don't really recall that they ever did that with DAK.
It was that way for a couple of months, or so, at DHS, as I recall.

I could be wrong, but I thought In DVC lore, the original OKW purchasers received length of stay tickets (for half of villa occupancy) for the 1st 10 years .. and those free tickets were not valid at the new AK park.

Anything is possible.
I have the "restricted old ticket at new park" info somewhere in my huge stack of DIS info.
I gave up trying to find it.

I agree, eventually, there will be no usable non-expiring tickets showing up, but, as long as they are out there, they will honor them for all the reasons mentioned. And it wouldn't be letting anyone in for free. If, for example, you bought a 10 day three years ago, and you only had one day left, you still paid for that day. If they don't honor it, they, in affect stole money from you. Now that is not to say that they might not find a devious way to charge you the difference between what you paid back then and the new prices, but, that would be more confusing then it would be worth.
