ticket window at MK?

[Angel Ariel]

Is there one there (not at TTC)? I'm trying to picture where it would be and I'm drawing a blank. We have AFS tx to activate before we enter today. Thanks!

Sorry for the double post...stupid phone browser

Not positive, but I thought this was. Otherwise guest relations.

Yes, there are ways to purchase tickets at the MK gates. You don't need to go to the TTC. Self-ticketing kiosks. Or Guest Services. You probably need to go to GS to activate the tickets you have.

Thanks for the map! That's a huge help!

Is that Guest Relations outside the park typically less busy than inside the park?

We have APs for the first time, and I'm a little unsure about what I'm supposed to do when I get there to activate it and purchase TiW...

1. Like anything at WDW, it's just a matter of your timing and luck-of-the-draw.

2. Nothing special you really need to "do" but bring the credit card used to originally purchase the AP, and a legal photo ID
for anyone 18 years and older.
The CM will activate the APs, give you AP cards (for making AP discounted purchases,)
and you can purchase your TIW card at the same time, if you like.

I'm remedial.

So I HAVE to go to GR before I can enter a park (i.e., to activate the AP)?

It's also good to know we need the credit card and IDs. Since MK doesn't sell alcohol, we usually don't take our IDs with us on those days.

You don't have a valid ticket (AP) until you activate it.
Otherwise, your AP would have started to count down (expire) on the day that you purchased it.
The "activation at Guest Relations" step allows you to keep a pre-purchased AP
fresh and new (even for years, if necessary) until such time as you arrive at WDW and want to start using it.

Also, it is wise to always carry your photo ID at WDW.
It can allow you to get things re-issued or reinstated very quickly and easily if something goes awry
with system glitches or lost tickets or lost MagicBands.

No you can go to any ticket window. The only AP that required the longer GR line is the Premier Pass for both WDW and DL. Avoid the GR lines.

#9 on Robo's map was not crazy busy yesterday. I think we waited between 5-10 mins before we were at a window. We got there a little after 12pm, maybe 12:15 when we got to the window(it was our arrival day, we came straight from the hotel).

It was a MVMCP day, though, and MK lines were pretty short overall. A busier day may be much different
