Ordering Passes Question....

[MemoryMakers2669]

When you call and order your passes over the phone and they mail them out to you, are your names on them when you get them? All Passes have names on them now right? And then you do the finger scan the first time you enter the park?

If names are printed when you order them, can you ask them to give Minnie to one person, Mickey to another, etc? Or do you get what you get? A family of four, do they get four different characters?

Our tickets just have our last name on them - no first name.

We ordered a Child and an Adult MYW tix (I have an AP). They gave us Mickey for the adult and Goofy for the child. But I don't know if it matters when you are talking about multiple adult tix.

I guess I wasn't very helpful, was I?

You can't request specific characters, hehe. They may indulge you if you purchase at a counter in person, but if you order by mail your order is processed and mailed from a computer.

As far as I know, they aren't even doing characters anymore, but park logos. Someone posted some pics of them not too long ago, I believe. Just take what you get and enjoy it - it's just your ticket. The magic is in the parks.

Good luck!

N.E.D.

I'm not sure if they would or not...

The tickets are in rolls inside a machine, like a roll of toilet paper. The machine KACHUNK - cuts the individual ticket from the roll, prints it, encodes the information on the magnetic strip, and then spits it out.

There isn't even a Mickey roll, or a Minnie Roll, but they're all on the same roll.

I have an AP, so this isn't about me. My friend has three boys and I can assure you all here that her 12 year old would be PRETTY darn upset if he ended up with MINNIE! That assuming of course that they printed names (first) names on them. If they are coming off of one roll, her family of four will most likely end up with one of each, which is good. I guess we will find out when they arrive.

And the roll of tickets is not done in the pattern you might think. You would logically think that the first one would be a Mickey, then a Minnie, then a Goofy, the a Donald. After that, the pattern would repeat. But it doesn't. It's random. That's why you can go up to a ticketing location (booth or GR) and buy four tickets and you may get two Mickeys and two Goofys.

Actually, I have seen them do it - all can reprint/cancel them till they get what they want. Most wouldn't do it - but I have seen it done.

Hehe, I'm sorry if I offended you. I actually think it would be pretty funny for a 12-year old boy to get a Minnie ticket - charachter building through characters.

But, as I said, you don't have anything to be concerned about - they have stopped using characters and now use park logos. I'll try to find a link to the pics I've seen recently.

Good luck!

I ordered 10 day park hoppers, the 2 we assume are for the adults have the Soarin logo, my dd's has Cinderellabration, and ds's has the Lights Action Motor cars logo - I didn't see any names at all.

I ordered 4 MYW 7 day hopper tickets from Ticket Mania in March. No names are on the tickets. 2 of the tickets are for ages(10+) and one ticket is Minnie and the other is Donald. 2 of the tickets are for ages(3-9) and tickets are Mickey and Goofy. Maybe some tickets are logos and some are still the characters.

I'm glad to hear that they won't have any names printed on them. I'll be doing the ordering through Ticketmania, and my DD, DGD, DD's fiancee and I all have different last names.

Yeah, I couldn't remember what order, if any, that they ran in. I've never actually dealt with the rolls in question here. I have although destroyed the old "Lion King" ticket stock. Now THATS a pain in the butt.... I always worked at the WPI stations.

It's technically "possible." I just don't think it's something that GR does. Golden can probably answer that better than I could. I just know it would be a major waste of cardstock to do that for everyone, and it makes more room for errors in the tickets

Our 8 day tickets have characters on them-Mickey, Donald and 2 Minnie's so I'm not sure about the logo thing.
