I was just at Epcot a few weeks ago and I had 4 separate 4 day hopper passes 2 from 1984 and 2 from 1986. Each pass had one day left on them. The 2 from 84 had my picture and my son's (who is now 16) The other two from 86 had no pictures on them.
I think you have your dates mixed up. The park hoppers that had the photos printed onto them were only sold from early '94 to early 1996. If you had one with your son's photo on it from '84 he'd have to be at least 21 by now (18 years ago plus he had to be 3 for the ticket).
I asked at Guest services in Epcot if I could add those days left to our 3 day hopper passes that we currently had for this trip. The guy had no problem and there was no extra charge...
If I understand what you are saying correctly, you had a new 3 day PH that you asked to add the one left over day from your old passes to on a single ticket, thus making a 4 day PH on one ticket and costing you no additional money. If you found a CM to do this for you, you were very lucky as this is strictly prohibited. Not only should you have been charged the price difference between the 1994 price and today's gate price but the combining of days from multiple passes regardless of where or when they were purchased without upgrading is a big no-no for a CM. You did nothing wrong but the CM did big time.
