Ticket Question

[Bronte]

Now with all these new rules about tickets I have a question about old tickets.

I have friends that have old tickets (no names on them) that have days left on them.
They want to use them next week to go to the magic kindom for just one day
Here is the break down ...

1. One day hopper and two water park days
2. Two day hopper and three water park days
3. Three day hopper and two water park days

I know when we go to the magic kingdom they will require each person to show ID and they will convert the old ticket to new plastic ticket which will forever have that persons name on it but what I want to know is will the water park days or the left over hopper days be under the new regualtions or will they be good forever with no need to pay extra to use them in the future?

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

No photo ID's required for converting or using the tickets.
If the tickets were previously used with the current "one-finger" scan, that will be the "ID"
when entering the gates.
If the tickets were previously used BEFORE the current "one-finger" scan, no "ID" will be needed.
When the person uses the "converted to RFID" ticket at the gate, a new finger scan will be taken (automatically) and that will become the "ID" used until all assets have been used.
The tickets can be used until all assets (theme parks & others) have been used.

THANKS Robo !!!

So the new "converted to RFID" tickets we will get at the magic kindom on Thursday will not have names on them but the finger scan will idenify the person to that ticket.

Do the fingure scans last forever ???
I know one of the old tickets is really really old so no finger scan but the others where from 2005 so they might have had the finger scans back then right ??
They have no idea whos is whos ... will that be a problem ??

I had some of the old never expire tickets with left over water park days. I was able to convert them to the new tickets and use them but then they expired in 7 days.

So when you covnerted them they went from no exp. to exp. in 7 days !!!!
How many days were left that basically disappered after the 7 days ???
That is exactly what I want to avoid ... My friends are only going for one day to the magic kindom but I do not want them to loose their water park days or their unused park days (they only go to Disney every few years)

Robo ...
Do you know if the unused water park days and hopper days will expire ???

Converting tickets from paper/tyvek form to a plastic card is not supposed to modify the non-expiration option. The ticket entitlement lives in Disney's computer, the card is just a shell that represents it.

Sorry, but something is not correct about this.

The tickets don't change. Only the ticket media changes. All the rights and privileges of the tickets remain. If it has the no-expiration option, that stays with the ticket. If someone's ticket expired after being updated, someone did it wrong.

Thanks ...

Anyone know about the finger scans, where they being used in 2005 (my friend has no idea who's tickets are whos and her son is not coming down with her this time)

The current one-finger scanners were not yet in use then.

A new finger-scan of the guest will be assigned to the ticket for the remaining assets... upon first use of the converted ticket.
