No transfer needed. Just use them as they are.

Think of it this way.

If you buy/bought a ticket that does not expire, then it will "always" be good for use as a ticket to a park.

So if you have 3 days left, the ticket is good for 3 days' admission, regardless of "price increases".

Otherwise, what good is buying a "non-expiring" ticket?

The historical exception is that if you still have a ticket (unused, unexpired) that was purchased before a given theme-park was open (we'll say DAK, in this example) that ticket would only be "good" at MK, Epcot, or MGM (and not DAK).

Do keep in mind that three days left on old passes generally won't translated into three days on a new pass, if you choose to use the residual value of the old passes in the purchase of new passes. Folks would generally advise ticket holders to use the old passes directly.

To clarify:

During the initial opening period, tickets purchased prior to a new park's opening were either not honored (MGM in the pre-magnetic strip ticket era) or were surcharged (AK). This did not mean that the policy continues forever. In fact, the restriction on AK tickets only lasted for nine months.

If you still have old tickets (used or not) from the pre-AK and/or pre-MGM era, you can exchange them at no charge at Guest Relations for a ticket that now allows entrance to all four parks.

That only applies if you TRADE IN old passes to get a credit toward the purchase of some sort of new pass. The value you get on a trade-in of old passes is determined by what you paid for the old pass, which might be less than what you pay for a new pass because of price increases.

Three days on an old pass is still three days of park admission. SpectroMagic can still use those old days without any trade-in or exchange; they will work just fine in the gates.

Now, if you happen to have a really old park-hopper from the days before the passes had magnetic strips, then you would have to turn in the old pass for one with a magnetic strip. However, this is not a trade-in, it is a re-issue - 3 days would get you 3 days. It's exactly the same situation as when you lose, tear, or demagnetize a pass and Disney issues you a direct replacement.

Trading in 2004 and older passes towards newer passes with more stuff on them is no longer allowed (as of Jan. 2006).

It is better to save the leftovers for a very short vacation or for a vacation using only leftovers. If, for example, you are at WDW for 7 days and need to buy a new ticket, the 3 leftover days will knock only about five dollars off of your ticket budget.

I think that's what I said, eh?

On this same subject. We have old park tickets with only the extras left on them. We used the park addmissions but the weather was too bad to use for the water parks. When we go in May, we plan on taking these old tickets and having the options transferred to our new tickets. I assume this is allowed..smjj

They won't transfer the old Plus options to your new tickets.

However, the old Plus options are still good. Just take the old tickets to a water park and put them through the slot in the turnstile.
