Photocopying Passes

[WillCAD]

Wow, I'm confused. I bought my tickets from Ticketmania. We have 7day no exp, and we will not use all the days in one trip. Should I put them on my room key or not? Does the info stay in Disney's computer forever? What if it's ten years til I use them again? Can I trust their computer system? And now I'm concerned even if I make a copy of the tickets, since I bought them from Ticketmania, if I lost them maybe they wouldn't replace them anyway.

You can have them put onto your room keys if you want, although I have never personally seen the need. I really don't think it's a horrible, incovenient hassle to have two cards in my lanyard instead of one.

No expiry ticket info will stay in WDWs computer system forever.

Yes, you can trust the WDW computer system. It's as trustworthy as the computer systems that track your credit card use, ATM use, checking account info, and other bank information.

The card holds no information other that its serial number. All of the info related to the card, such as the number of days on it, the number of days used, and the biometric data from the finger scanners, is stored on the WDW computer system. The system works just like a credit card system - your credit card has no info on it, it only has the credit cards number on it. If you lose it, all you have to do is call your credit card company to get it cancelled and replaced.

I purchased my tickets from Ticket Mania recently. Our trip is in May and I just started looking for the tickets, found the envelope but no tickets in it. There was a copy of the back of the tickets so I called Disney and they told me that they would not replace the tickets from a photo copy. They said I needed to go through where I purchased the tickets. Ticket Mania said they wouldn't replace lost tickets. I was out of luck! The good news is, I FOUND the tickets, all five of them, woo hoo!!!

Must make a difference on where the tickets are purchased as far as replacing lost ones go.

Glad you found your tickets, but the CM who you talked to on the phone is a call-center CM and not completely reliable when it comes to in-park information.

Any WDW ticket can be cancelled out of the computer system and replaced if you have a photocopy of the back of the ticket with its serial number on it. It doesn't matter where they were purchased, they are still WDW tickets. Plenty of people have lost or demagnetized TicketMania tickets and gotten them replaced - that's the whole reason that TicketMania sends you a photocopy of the tickets in the first place.

So if I transfer my tickets to my room key, should I make a copy of that or at least write the numbers down so if I lose it I can give Disney the numbers to look it up, or will they know just by my name in their computer?
