Saving on park passes???

[ellenec]

We are going to Disney in April and I have a question about passes. My parents are elderly but enjoy joining us at Epcot for dinner and maybe one or two rides. I thought about buying each a seven day pass from Undercover Tourist. My question is if they only decide to join us for 3 or 4 nights can I add a no expiration date to the remaining days on the ticket??? Any ideas would be appreciated.

You can add no expiration to the ticket, but it'll be for the total amount of days, not just the days left over.

If you want to, buy a 3 day base ticket, and then go to the ticket window to add days if they go more often. Since I believe you pretty much pay full price for the first 3 days, and after that it's only a few dollars more for each day. So it won't be a huge out of pocket expense to do it. And in the afternoon, it shouldn't be that bad to get to a ticket window. Just a suggestion.

Basically if you add NE to any ticket it is based on the total number of days on the ticket, not the number remaining. Also, if the are Florida Residents and they will only be joining you at Epcot it may be better for them to buy Epcot After 4:00 Annual Passes.
