Semi-Used Park Hopper Tickets

[Ms. S. White]

Other than going to Disneyworld, is there anywhere I can find out how many days are left on my hopper tickets?

No, they can only be checked at Guest Services of a WDW hotel, or park.

I'm not sure but I'm wondering if you can call a guest services number. If I remember correctly, the passes have a serial number of sorts on them. Maybe if you called and gave them the number on the passes they could look it up?

I'm not sure if they can do it that way but it'd be worth a try...a lot cheaper than flying to WDW just to see if you have days left, right?

They "can" but they won't. WDW requires that that information is given in person. The biggest reason for that is that they don't want the tickets being resold as they are NON-transferable. Most people that are getting the ticket information in person are not intending to resell them, they are checking them for their own use.

Yes the passes have a serial number on the back.

But no, there is no place you can call that will look up the tickets and tell you how many days are left on them. Theoretically, they COULD, but they WILL NOT.

Disney does this on purpose, in order to kill the market for partially used tickets. They figure that only an idiot would buy tickets from a stranger if there's no way to find out whether the tickets are any good till you get to WDW.

But that also means that folks who have tickets left from previous trips have no way to check. This is also good for Disney, because it means that people are more likely to either A) Buy a bigger new ticket to make sure they have enough days when they get there, or B) Wait till they get there to buy tickets, which is more expensive than buying in advance. Either way, Disney makes a few dollars more.

The only time I have ever bought partially used tickets is from friends whom I trusted completely. I would never buy them from eBay or from a roadside stand in Orlando.
