Question about signing tickets..

[MouseCrazy96]

(I haven'the had luck searching the threads for this answer so i decided to post. ) We will be attending our first MNSSHP on September 19th! We received our tickets in the mail a few days ago. I was surprised to find that they are the plastic tickets since they are just for the event. Anyway, my question is - do we each sign the back of the tickets now or do we need to do so in person at the gate? Also, does it matter who signs which ticket? ( there are 7 of us) When I placed the order it had me enter everyone's names, which then appeared on my account in the MDE app. But the physical tickets don't have a name on them so I just don't want to screw something up and have us all sign them just to get to the gate and then the signature doesn't match the name in the system. I hope my question makes sense. Thanks for the help!!

First off, congrats on being practically the first person ever to realize you're supposed to write names on tickets without being explicitly told to by myself or one of my co-workers. It matters less for party tickets than it does for multi-day or park hopper tickets, though - the main point is that people in a group remember whose ticket is whose to make the whole finger process at the touchpoints easier. For a single day, single park ticket, or a special event ticket like a party, the only reason you'd need to know is if you booked different FP+ for different people or if you plan to leave and re-enter.

That said, if you entered names upon purchase, and the names appeared in MDX, they're almost certainly linked to MDX. On the back of each card is a 12-digit alphanumeric code called a Visual ID. If you log into MDX and navigate to the "MagicBands and Cards" section, each person should have numbers listed. One of each person's numbers should be one of the cards you received.

If you also have MagicBands linked to those same people, you probably don't even need to worry about it.

Mine were listed in my MDX so I matched the numbers and wrote the names from there. I'm sure whoever you get at the gate will help you get it sorted if need be. I wouldn't stress about it.

Thank you SO much!! One less thing for me to stress about now. I had to sign in on the full website for MDX and found the numbers that matched the physical tickets. For some reason they don't show on the app.

We've always gotten the plastic tickets. We will write our initials on the back with a Sharpie just to keep track of them. It just seemed logical to do that.

Why I love stalking the forum - tips like this that never would have occurred to me and we would end up as those people clogging the line, trying to figure out which card worked with which fingerprint! I feel like they had recently implemented the fingerprint scan last time we visited, but adults carried their cards via lanyard and I don't think the kids needed fingerprints scanned.

Correct.
Back then, they didn't.
