Ticket Question - No Expiration

[Mom2Dash&JackJack]

My children are heading to Disney World with their Aunt in a couple of weeks (lucky kids!). We have also a 2015 DCL Land/Sea trip planned for July 2015.

I'm toying with having their Aunt upgrade their park tickets to include the days required for our 2015 visit, and include the No Expiration option.

If she does this while she is there, how will our package work in 2015? The kids will have tickets already, and DH and I will both require park tickets as part of the package. Would Disney be able to handle this when calling to book the land portion of our package for next year?

TIA!

It all depends on how long each ticket is needed for. I buy my tickets from UCT unless I am getting the dining plan. Take a look at UCT and compare the price of 2 tickets vs 1 NE ticket.

Also, for the children, it may be less costly to purchase an AP as long as your next trip will be competed within the yr.

No-expiration tickets aren't usually a good value unless they cover 3 complete trips. Also, If you book a package for your next trip you will have to buy new tickets for the kids anyway.

You should run the numbers, but I would bet that adding no-expiration wouldn't save you any money.

There's not necessarily a need for you to book a package next year; could just do room-only.

I did a bit of study before buying my NE 10 days hopper n water park ticket. You could try to price around with 2 sets of tickets for your kids which cover both trips. If it is more expensive than AP. Then AP is your choice. If not, buy 2 separate sets of ticket rather than adding NE.... Normally it is cheaper that way. Also more flexible, once the finger is scanned, no one else can use the remaining of the ticket except the owner (your kids). I bought mine because I am from overseas and could foresee that I will be coming back but not sure when, so a discounted NE 10 days... ends up giving me a cost of $76 per park day not to mention I got another 10 entries of water park. As I guess I will be doing 3 park days each trip maybe which is the most expensive type of ticket to buy anywhere. So my 10 days NE could last 3 trips....
