Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

[Robo]

I purchased 4 Canadian Resident tickets for myself and my family for our upcoming trip to Florida in August; staying offsite. When I look in the MDE app I see the tickets that I purchased indicating that they are Can Res tkts and I see our Magicbands linked to each family member from our onsite trip 2 years ago as well as ticket numbers linked to each family member (separate from the Can Res tkts)....
1. Will we still need to go to Guest Relations at our first park to verify we are Canadian residents or are we good to go if we don't need physical tickets because of the MBs.
2. Also, the ticket numbers on the tickets linked in MDE to the MBs do not match the exchange vouchers they sent me. Does this mean they are not actually linked and that these may be my old ticket numbers from our trip 2 years ago?

1. Go to the park gates and try to enter as usual with your MB. If there does need to be an ID, you'll find out at that point.
(Or, if you have some spare time before you go to a park, stop at any Guest Relations and ask.)
2. You'll need to call Disney to verify that.

I need some help! I’m pretty well versed in Disney BUT tickets just confuse me?! I read the first few pages and the last few pages but I just don’t undtand upgrades.

We are a family of 4, all Disney adults. I won 20 park hopper tickets. Can I upgrade those to 4 annual passes? About how much would it be?
Thanks for any advise!

It is very likely that the tickets you won cannot be upgraded.

The kind of tickets that Disney offers for groups for various fundraisers are considered "comp" (complimentary) tickets and have no upgrade value.

If you got 20 one-day tickets, they are almost certainly "comp" tickets.

hmm.. bummer. In that case I may wait to add mine until after I've entered EPCOT Friday morning. At this point I'm not really concerned with a 12-ish hour difference in when I do it, but I'd rather not risk messing anything up.

If you wanted to select FP+ for your other days, waiting to link will restrict you. If that doesn't matter, then you can wait to link and avoid going to GR.

Thanks for the reply! I don’t have them yet, I’ll take a look at them when they arrive later this week.

That's what I'm saying, ultimately I'm not worried about how much of a difference 7pm Thursday night vs 9am Friday morning will make in making FP for Monday-Wed. We've been enough recently that we're not insistent on getting them for any of the major headliners, if something pops up for those using TGM then great, if not, no big deal. Thanks for the help! xx

You won't lose your current FPs by adding a day, as long as you still have a valid ticket for the day on which you
already booked those FPs.

to the DISboards, TheJasonStation!

Thank you Robo!

Sorry if this has been answered before. I read thru a few pages in the beginning and did not find the answer. We have military salute tickets that we are using in April during some dates that the gold pass is blocked out. My question is on the last day of using our military ticket, on the way out can we upgrade our tickets to gold or do we have to do platinum? The dates we would next use the pass are not blocked out. Planning out how much I Disney gift cards
I need to buy at Target to cover the cost. TIA!!

You can upgrade to any level of AP you like (even though you used the original tickets during a blackout period.)

Hi!

are you able to purchase entrance to a water park only? If you went to the gate how much would it be per adult? (in late September) Thank you?

Yes.

The admission price is found on the usual www.disneyworld.com ticket site:
(I don't know if there is an "at-the-gate" up charge for WP tickets.)

If my kids have Florida Resident APs, and me and my husband do not have APs, do we get free parking at the parks and AP hotel discount opportunities?

If their FL resident APs offer those perks, then yes.

I purchased a 6 day ticket without park hopper, if I chose to go to one park in the morning and another park at night can I use another one of my tickets for the evening park?

Unfortunately, no. One park per day unless you have the park hopper option.

What's the current method on upgrading pricing? Bought old 7 day hoppers before all this date pricing stuff happened. They are linked to mde, and wanted to upgrade 2 7 day hoppers to 2 Platinum AP Adult passes, need to figure out what they will base my 7 day hoppers on for value? I want to be prepared with a correct cost before trying. thanks!

I have read through the ticket sticky and learned so much. I have a question to which I could not find the answer.

I purchased Undercover Tourist tickets (5 day PH before date specified pricing went into effect). They are linked in my MDE under my name. I would like to upgrade to an annual pass, wanting my activation date to be in Sept.

I would like to upgrade to AP sooner in case the SWGE opening leads to AP offers during my trip. (I read another post where someone booked a TSL AP event when they had AP that wasn’t activated until after they booked the AP event).

My husband often travels to Orlando on business. Can he upgrade my tix to an AP for me while there? Or is that something I have to my do my self in person?

He can go to any WDW Guest Relations and upgrade your UT tickets (in your MDX account) to AP certificates ("vouchers.")

An AP certificate is a UNACTIVATED annual pass which is valid until at least the year 2030.

Once you have the AP certificates, you can hold onto them (in your MDX account,)
and can activate them into APs, in-person (each adult will need a photo ID,)
during any future trip to WDW (up until at least the year 2030.)
