Ticket Question

[Porsche4]

My daughter and I are coming from Australia and intend to be in the parks for 8 days. The only option for us ticket wise is to buy a five day pass and a three day pass. I would like to buy the five day pas with Genie+ and three day one without. My question is how is the Disney App going to deal with this when I try to link the tickets and then choose the days I want to visit the relative parks. Is it going to get confused do you think. I thought one way around it would be for my daughter and I to have separate disney accounts ( adding the other as part of their party) and then linking one account to the 3 day pass and one to the five day pass. Am I overthinking this. Will the Disney App be clever enough to utilise the park ticket with the Genie+ attached for the nominated day that I want to use it or will it get confused and try to utilise a non genie pass to a just a random day. Grrrr this is doing my head in.

You are definitely way overthinking this.

If you want to buy G+ already included, you buy it with the ticket. So in your case you would be buying a 5 day with G+ and a 3 day without. You can also just buy each day so it's spread out on days you feel you need it more. There's no advantage to buying in advance at this time other than if you're worried about exchange rates.

When you scan in to the parks, you choose the ticket you want to use. It doesn't just pick one from your account. Reservations are also tied to the ticket so if you tried to use a ticket that did not have a reservation on that day, it would not work anyways.

Also as a side note: Australia and New Zealand usually have access to a longer ticket (10 days I believe?). It would be a lot cheaper than buying a 5 day + 3 day. I'm fairly sure I heard this is still available. Worth looking into.

Anywho. Just buy the tickets you want, make your reservations, and link the tickets to all Disney accounts (or have everyone log into one; it's up to you). It's really a LOT more simple than you're making it.

ETA: for making reservations, if you are not buying directly from Disney (if you are, you make the reservations as you purchase them; you can always cancel and rebook no issue), then you choose the ticket you want to make reservations for. Reservations are made online. Not directly in the app (the link will redirect you to the website and open a browser).

Thanks for the feedback I thought I might have been thinking too hard. I have tried to buy the 10 day tickets available to Australians, however due to Covid and the fact that our borders are just opening up, all travel agents here are telling me Disney has no longer made these available to Australian Travel Agents. Our trip is for the last week in April and I don't really want to take the chance that they may or may not offer these at a later date as I want to lock in my park reservations now. Also I thought if I bought my tickets through Undercover Tourist who offer a refund then I could always cancel them if Disney decide to reoffer them to Australian residents. I also thought I would like to buy tickets now before they probably go up in price in the next few weeks. Thanks again for your input.
