Ticket Question

[aggordon2]

We are going this August and staying at CSR. We have 2-day tickets with the package and also have non-expiring tickets from UT that were never used. I was able to link the UT tickets to my MDE account, but I want to make sure that we use the 2-day tickets first before we use the UT tickets.

Is there a way to do this before we go?
Since the UT tickets were never activated (not sure if that is the right term?) do we have to bring the physical tickets to the park or just having them linked to our MB's is enough?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

1- Is there a way to do this before we go?

*****1- Maybe. Call WDW Ticketing at
(407) 566-4985 (option 5)

If they can't/won't set the PRIORITY of your tickets over the phone,
just go to a Guest Relations outside any park (or at DTD) and have the
PRIORITY of the tickets set before you enter a park.

2- They don't need to be activated. If you see them on your MDE, they are ready to go.
You might want to bring the tickets with you, just as a backup.


***** Since it is seldom a good financial plan to use two different KINDS/SETS
of tickets during the same trip, have you determined whether you should actually USE any
of the "Non-Expiring" UT tickets during this trip at all?

Do the math to see if UPGRADING your 2-day tickets to cover this entire trip
won't be dollars-ahead for you.

Thanks Robo for an answer.

Besides being non-expiring the UT tickets also have the WPF&M option and are park-hoppers. We want to go to one of the water parks this trip. I was under the assumption that to get into one of the minor attractions I would need to enter one of the major attractions first. Is that not correct? If it is correct, then using the UT tickets for the major parks would make sense.

We originally bought the UT tickets (4 of them) about 2 years ago and never used them. We received a bounce back offer with free dining last August and the stipulation for the package was at least a 2 day ticket. That's why we have 2 different kinds/sets of tickets.

Thank you in advance for your help.

1. I was under the assumption that to get into one of the minor attractions I would need to enter one of the major attractions first. Is that not correct?

2. If it is correct, then using the UT tickets for the major parks would make sense.

Thank you in advance for your help.

1. That is not correct.
2. Again, no.
3. They are very valuable (and, therefore, very costly) to use.

4. It can make much more sense to continue to SAVE all of the assets
on those UT tickets and use them ONLY on very short trips where
they are the ONLY tickets you will need.

I urge you do the math to check how MUCH it is costing you to
USE one or more of the theme park assets on those UT tickets,
vs just upgrading your current 2-day tickets for use on this current trip.

Unless you are ONLY using one or more "Water Park" assets from the UT ticket,
(which you CAN do) it will likely be very costly to use both a UT ticket AND those 2-day tickets
in the same trip.
