Park tickets & DVC stay

[ontdvc2015]

So, we just got back from a non-DVC stay at Fort Wilderness. We had 3- 5 day park tickets that we bought a few years back, before the newest expiration date policy. We also had 1- 5 day ticket bought after the newest expiration date policy. And I have really come to HATE this new policy. Having a 5 day ticket only good for 8 days (I think that's what it is) when you don't buy them in a package is terrible. We stayed at Fort Wilderness for 12 days but we had to use our tickets by day 8.

Anyways, it got me thinking about DVC stays. Is there a way to "link" your tickets to a DVC stay so they would be good for the length of stay? We normally stay a week at a time. If we buy a 2 day ticket, it would only be valid for 4 days, but if we buy a "package" they would be good for the full 7 days. So is there someone we can call to have that changed to the length of our stay or are we just SOL and have to deal with it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Nope.

The new ticket structure only allows for use within X amount of days, depending on length of ticket.

It doesnt matter length of resort reservation. Now, I know they sell the flexible start date ones, which are more expensive, but I don’t know if those have a longer time to use up the days.

I agree it makes it tough if you want to do a stay that has a lot of resort time and mix up days in park.

The Flexible Date Option would give you 14 days (from first use) to use all of the entitlements on the ticket.

Tell the new CEO about your issue. I think he was the one who came up with that great idea.

It would be nice if we could link our tickets to our DVC stay so they would be good for the length of our stay. We can dream can't we???

That might be a great membership perk along side the Gold Pass, but it is a dream as they would rather have you pay more to get the flexible tickets.
