Question about non expiring tickets

[ADisneyQueen]

I used up 5 of my 10 non expiring days. Will they give me new cards when I return? Mine have my old dates on them and also dining plan info. Am I correct that you cannot let another person use them? Not sure if DH can go next time and wanted to give the days to my mom. Also, should I make photo copies of the cards or do they have my numbers on file in case I lose them. I bought them with the MYW package. Thanks.

Hello, we just got back from Disney on Monday and used our tickets (non-expiring from 2000). We had 6 days left on them and used only 3 this time. They advised that we could continue to use the same tickets until all of the days have been used. I would think because this time we had to place our fingers into their finger print machine that only that person is now going to be allowed to use those tickets, thus no more sharing of tickets. I would suggest calling Disney directly however and inquiring about it to make sure.

Had a blast at Disney, Epcot, MGM and Animal Kingdom....

Tickets are non-transferrable. I think making copies of tickets is a great idea in case they get lost.

All tickets are Non-Transferable: Must be used by the same person on any and all days.

They can re-print your tickets if you damage them, as long as either the magnetic strip and/or the numbers can be read. You don't need both, but if you cant read at least one, it's as good as lost.

Not sure how true/accurate the person was, but last year when we went for 8 days, I talked to 3 different CM's in regard to this and got different answers. One of course is the answer you always here no one but YOU can use that ticket. The other two(one was some sort of Supervisor or higher up person ) said the same thing that when you put your fingers in it doesn't truely take "your inprint" it is a measure of relative bone density of the person to keep from "abusing" the ticket system. They both said that 2 people of relatively the same size can use the tickets. Like I said I don't know if this is true because I didn't nor had no reason to try it, but would sort of make sense ie adults not using kids tickets etc Like I said just what was told to me

Whether someone can get through the turnstile with someone else's ticket based on the biometric scan might be interesting information but it really is irrelevant since the tickets are non-transferrable.

I realize they are non-transferable, and wasn't suggesting someone try to, however if it were a normal paper ticket, then yes if someone of the relative same size tried to use it, it would work (stolen, given away, whatever) if the 2 CM's knew what they were talking about that is all I was trying to say

Generally, No, even if the person is the same size - the fingers will still have a different structure. Because they aren't finger prints, they aren't 100% genuine to that individual person - but there aren't going to be a lot of people that match either!

, I talked to 3 different CM's in regard to this and got (3) different answers. One of course is the answer you always here no one but YOU can use that ticket. The other two(one was some sort of Supervisor or higher up person ) said the same thing that when you put your fingers in it doesn't truely take "your inprint" it is a measure of relative bone density of the person to keep from "abusing" the ticket system.

1 is true. All the admissions on a given ticket may only be used by the same person.
2 is true. The biometric system records "coarse detail" such as finger dimensions, not the fine details of fingerprints.
3 is true. Two persons with similar sized fingers can probably get through turnstiles using the same ticket (at different times) but keep in mind that they may not do it.
