Hi friends
This is my first post in along time. We have previously only been to Disneyland but have booked to go to Disneyworld in January 2023 and are super excited.
We are coming from Australia and have booked 2 lots of tickets for each person.
One is a 10 day ticket and one is a 3 day ticket.
The 10 day ticket is valid from 13th -26th but we will use all the days by 24th (10 days at Disney and 2 at universal)
Our 3 day ticket is valid from 25th - 29th and we will use that for the 25th-27th. We then fly home on 28th.
My question is do Disney scan the tickets and used based on the dates? I assume they would as that is why I figured they have dates on them.
My hubby is worried that if we get a magic band and/or link the tickets via the mobile pass in the phone disney may scan the wrong ticket (ie. scan the 3 day first then the 10 day) and by the time we get to the last days of the 10 day ticket they would be expired if that makes sense.
I assume Disney scan which tickets are the ones in date so we should be ok.
The only other thing i can think to do is get the plastic cards when we get there 2 each for the 2 seperate tickets but I was excited to use a magic band.
Can anyone confirm? I hope this makes sense as I never assumed it would be a problem but hubby questioning it has me worried.
Thanks for any advice
 
You add the tickets to the Disneyland app. Just make sure you show the bar code for the correct ticket when you scan.

no magic bands yet, although they say they are coming.

since they are date based tickets, the computer SHOULD pick the correct ones, but in order to make sure they do, don’t use the magic band until you are inside the park (if you have genie plus), just use either the hard ticket (get at ticket booth) or the correct barcode on the app.
 
At Disney World: MagicBands or hard plastic cards, it doesn't matter, both/all access the same - any tickets you have linked in MDE. Since your tickets are date-based I don't believe you will have any problem. The 2nd ticket that is set to start on 1/25 will not be used earlier than that. The only issue you may run into is if you end up skipping a park day on the first set of tickets and therefore you have valid entitlements left that overlap the second ticket. However, if you want to really be sure, just stop by Guest Relations or a ticket window and ask them to "prioritize" the 10-day ticket. But again, since the tickets are date-based and looking at your plans I don't think you'll have any problem.

Thank you so much! This is super helpful and makes me feel a lot better 😊
