Ticket ???

[m-0f-thomas]

Hi
I have spent the last couple of days re/searching for all that is US and IoA. When I started I did not even know that there were two parks. We have been to WDW many times and I am planning a last minute vacation for the kids, we have tickets to WDW (we buy no exp.). We will spend 2 days a WDW.
I just want to know a couple of things about the tickets to US.

If I print/buy the tickets at home, will the tickets have our names on them or will I write them in when they are printed? I ask this because we are meeting some friends out there. My youngest might want to just chill at the resort and I would want to give this ticket to them.

I saw that someone said that if you buy the tickets at AAA they do not print the name on them - you write the name. Can someone confirm this.


I just do not want to buy a ticket that has my sons name on it and not able to give it to one of the other boys (we would not be sharing the ticket) I do not want to wait until we get there. I would like to have the 4 tickets purschased, he might want to go, and it would be just easier if the night before to write the names on the tickets.

This name thing is driving me crazy. Once the ticket is used I do not care if it has the name on it, the fingerprint is attached to it. So we know who the ticket belongs to. I just want no name on it before I get there. (Help) Can this be done?
Thanks
We leave in 11 days

I dont think if you print at home it has your name on them. If you buy them at AAA they do not have your name printed on them. When you arrive they will sometimes ask you to print your name on the ticket at the gate. The best thing to do IMO is to just buy the tickets online and then do the kiosk pick up. That way you will have the little ticket stubs as soon as you arrive.

Well, I am not sure about the AAA tickets, but I am fairly sure that when you buy tickets online, you have to give them the names. We normally pick up the tickets at the front gate using the computers becuase it is just as easy as printing them from home, but you get an actual ticket, not a piece of paper.

Overall, depending on the kids ages, the names should not matter. This is purely an example, but if you put your sons name on the ticket, and then he decided not to go so you give it another child from the other party, the person at the gate will not know this. They won't ask for an ID or anything like that. Also, since the ticket is new, names will never be an issue. Just like Disney, whenever you have a NEW ticket, they never check anything with it. Its only after you have used the ticket with your finger that problems can happen. As long as the ticket is new (and if the ticket type matches the age...can't buy a child ticket for your son and give it to somebody over the age of a child ticket), then the name thing will make no difference.

EDIT: Like Melanie230 said, do the Kiosk pick up. Its SO much better than the print at home option. Just take your order number and the credit card you used to purchased the ticket to the Kiosks at the front of the park. I have NEVER seen a line at this machines. Just type in the order number, slide the card, and out print your OFFICAL ticket, not some print out piece of paper that can get all messed up like the print at home option can.

I have done the print at home tickets several times and never had the names on except for the one who purches the tickets and just ordered some on travel site and the only name on the voucher for the two I ordered was mine

It may depend on what tickets you buy. Jan 2010 I bought those 2 park 7 day $99.00 tickets they were advertising online. I had to enter our names. I planned on going down there solo in May, then my husband and I were going in Oct, so I bought three. My name was on two and his on one. It didn't give me an option. I had to put names on each of them. Once I got down there last May I decided to upgrade my ticket to an AP and save my second $99.00 ticket for later. A couple of weeks ago I renewed my AP, so still have that $99.00 ticket. I just went and got it, to double check and it definitely has my name on it.
