The one with the dusty, wrinkly, moldy-oldy 4 day park hopper ticket from 1992! (August 2025)

Your mother looks so young-especially for having a knee replacement already! But I have "children" close to her age, so I'm looking thru old, cataract-corrected eyes.
Haha!! She is 55 and had me when she was young (21) - plus she jokes that 'a perk of being fat is that you have less wrinkles' :rotfl2: I don't know if there's any truth to that but that's what she says! I look a lot more like my dad than I do my mom and it seems I inherited all of his less-than-ideal traits so I doubt I will follow her "looks good at 55" footsteps and will more likely look like a wrinkly old female version of him, but oh well :laughing:

What do they do now, especially if you've purchased LL? DS used one day from a passport he bought in 1989 (actually it was a child's passport, so we bought it) back in 2003, when he definitely wasn't a child anymore. Except for the fact that he couldn't use it at Animal Kingdom (because it hadn't existed in 1989)
Goodness now you've got me worried - we only used the 2 tickets at DHS & MK so didn't even try DAK yet - I will definitely research this before her next trip! DAK didn't exist back in 1992 either so that would make me think that she couldn't use it there if they didn't let your DS use his!! Eek, thanks for sharing!

The CM at Disney Springs converted them to the digital version of tickets we use now, so they're in the app and everything.

It says this:

"04-Day Magic Your Way Ticket with Park Hopper & No Expiration Options (Ages 10+) and then at the bottom it says "Theme Parks: 2 Days Remaining" and "Valid Through: 12/31/2030" (which sort of negates the whole 'with no expiration options' haha!)

My eyes couldn't tell-how many days of the 5 did she have available?
So it was initially a 5 day Passport and she used one single day back in Jan 92 (I would have been a month old, crazy!) so had 4 remaining.
 
What do they do now, especially if you've purchased LL
I didn't notice any hiccups with LLs - we weren't able to purchase it before she got the tickets converted over obviously because the system won't let you buy LL without a valid ticket but when I purchased them on the bus ride home from MK that day it went without a hitch! And then using them on the following Monday at DHS was no issue either.

It sounds like the tickets don't include any reference to 1992 now, so she should be fine. When DS used his in 2003, he just took it to the front gate. Luckily the CM still had a date stamp, so he's got the ticket with all the dates stamped, 5 in the fall of 1989, then the last one in June, 2003. But hers doesn't have a date, so Animal Kingdom is certainly an option.

OH! I misunderstood! I had called when we found this old ticket and asked if they would accept them and they said not without stopping at Guest Services (whether in Disney Springs or at the actual theme park) so that process must have changed in the last 22 years (I guess not too terribly surprising!)
