Star & Stripes pass questions

Note that the higher holiday pricing only applies to 1-day tickets. Any other length ticket is the same price all year.

Thanks! I'd edited my post and had deleted "1-day" for some reason and just says "day tickets". Thanks for the correction, I'll edit that.

"The number of days on your ticket must match your length of stay and must be used consecutively."
(The maximum number of days offered is 10.)

Right, and this year's price sheet also says "Unused days expire one day after first use." Which I don't quite understand?? However, I have also seen reports on the tickets expiring N+1 days after first use, so a 9 day ticket would expire in 10 days. Last year they allowed me to purchase less than length of stay, and I thought this same calculation applied. Since I had to cancel my trip last year, I planned to upgrade to 10 day ticket, but the cost was $100+/ticket, not worth it for one day. Just trying to plan if I need skip arrival day or buy a one day ticket. Will probably spend day doing something else (cheaper) like pool, Disney springs, etc. Really hoping, I can have a rest day mid trip without losing a day in the park.

I sent an email to their ticket office and will probably try calling here shortly if I can get thru with short wait.

MYW tickets also now expire in 2022 where it used to be 2030.

I also noticed my additional S&S ticket expires 14JAN23, not 31DEC30 like the ones I bought last year.

Just called, and was able to get thru w/ no wait right as the ticket office opened. She confirmed that "Yes, you can skip one day, and then need to use consecutively after that." I will wait to see what the email response comes back with, I always feel more comfortable having it in writing.

Edited to add: confirmed via email from SoG: "Yes, you may skip a day."

Yes.
This is why I originally said you could skip a day.
But, when I found the precise wording on the "Military" site, I wanted
to post that here.
I can't figure why (or HOW) they would "allow" tickets of shorter length than the hotel stay if they would not allow guests "to skip a day."

And while we're discussing "rules" that don't seem possible to follow, as stated...



What the heck does "Unused days expire one day after first use." mean?
Consider that on a multi-day ticket, ALL of the rest of the days on the ticket are still "unused" after the ticket's first day is "first used."
Why print rules that cannot possibly be correct, as stated?
Does nobody proofread this stuff?

That was my question exactly! Do they mean after last use? I included the phrase for interpretation in my email question to SoG and they didn't really address other than to confirm we could skip a day.

I'm going to GUESS that the line, "Unused days expire one day after first use."
actually means, "Unused ticket days expire one day after resort checkout."
(That info would actually fit the "Length of Stay" ticket description.)
