Partially Used Tickets vs No Expiration Option

[Coral Reef Diver]

Currently, Disney honors partially-used tickets, but has a policy in place to deny any partially-used tickets not purchased with the No Expiration Option. They haven't invoked that 2004 policy, but could presumably do so at any moment.

From the Mouse himself:
Q: I purchased theme park tickets years ago and never used them. Are they still valid?
A: Walt Disney World Resort continues to honor all unexpired theme park tickets with remaining admission days.

The FAQ goes on to discuss the No Expiration Option that Disney once offered.
However, be aware that unless you purchased the No Expiration Option, theme park tickets purchased after 2004 expire 14 days after their first use. While the No Expiration Option is no longer available, if you have previously purchased theme park tickets with the No Expiration Option, your tickets will still be honored. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/tickets/converting-old-tickets/

What is not abundantly apparent in Disney's carefully worded policy, is that Disney has TWO policies on unused tickets. One for completely unused tickets (will honor these), and another for partially used tickets (will honor these, if purchased with the No Expiration Option).
​

At least, that's how I read it. For questions on specific tickets, call 407/939-1289.

So you read into that that they WILL honor partially used tickets purchased after 2004 without the No Expiration Option? I don't. I read it that those tickets expire 14 days after first use. And I have certainly never heard of anyone being able to use days on such a ticket after that 14 days.

I read it that those tickets expire 14 days after first use.

You're right, I did misinterpret that. I corrected it in my original post.

Is this in reference to something specific?

I'm unsure as to why this thread was created.
There is no question nor a real topic of discussion in the OP...
Am I missing something?

Yeah, I caught that, too.

But I'm confused by the very existence of the thread, so I can't even begin to make sense of the finer points.

Can you come back and clue us in on the purpose of your post or the question? You copied me in another thread with this same information, and it didn't make sense there either.

I have non-expiring tickets from 2004. I lost them for several years. But once I found them they have been honored with no problem.

Because there is a Ticket Sticky here on TPAS, closing this interpretation of tickets.
