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

My child was 7 yo we last used a 10-day non-expiration ticket. He is 14 now and we will be visiting the park using unused days from that ticket.
Will he have a problem with the fingerprint scan getting using this ticket?

Nope.

If you are using the actual plastic card ticket, it would be good to take that ticket along with the now 14 year old to any Guest Relations or ticket booth and have that old ticket converted to an Adult ticket at no charge. (The new ticket will have the same remaining assets as the current "old" ticket.)

We have a child platinum AP Ages 3-9 voucher for my son who is 7 years old now. What if we don't activate it until he's 10? I know there was no price difference when I purchased, but just seeing if this will be any sort of an issue.

No problem. They will issue an Adult AP at that time.

Trying to determine our best ticket approach. We have two 4 day park hoppers that were not used from 2020. Ideally we would like to upgrade those two tickets to APs, but I hate to wait too long to see what happens there and miss out on park reservations. We have one trip with DH and I planned for Feb 2022 (1 week) and another with DH, DD, and her friend in May 2022 (12ish days).

My thought is to go ahead and purchase 7 day tickets for Feb. If APs become available, then we can go to Guest Services and apply the 7 day tickets to the purchase of those (wouldn’t lose park reservations, would we?). We could then take the existing 4 day tickets and upgrade them to either a longer ticket or APs for DD and friend (would booking park reservations in February be too late for May?).

Appreciate any thoughts!

If we are staying at Disney World for 8 nights and have a 2 year old who turns 3 in the middle of the trip. Does she need a ticket when she turns 3?

 

[DSLRuser]

don't buy a ticket.....no one will ask.

I had that situation many years ago...and they told me don't buy a ticket...no one will ask

Unless rules have changed in the last year, she stays 2 for the whole trip. We had this with a grandkid.

Another question , does she stay two for any meals? We didn't do any TS that trip, so I'm not sure of those rules.

I would think if she is 2 for tickets, she is also 2 for meals.

Applies to dining also.

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

Her age at check-in is her age for the entire trip. That applies to tickets as well as dining (and anything else age related, for that matter).

 

[danceintherain]

Nobody ages at Disney.

 

[BethanyMouse]

We have the exact same situation. I called and spoke to a Disney cast member. It goes by your check in date. So my little one will be 2 for our entire stay!

1. My thought is to go ahead and purchase 7 day tickets for Feb.
2. If APs become available, then we can go to Guest Services and apply the 7 day tickets to the purchase of those
3. (wouldn’t lose park reservations, would we?).

5. (would booking park reservations in February be too late for May?).

1. OK.
2. OK.
3. You would not do the upgrade until you had actually USED the first 4-6 days of the original tickets.
That way, you'd keep all of your reservations, and the cost of the upgrade would not be affected.
4. OK.
5. Nobody knows, as time goes by and things (ALL things) change.

Thanks Robo! I’m thinking a better plan would be to upgrade the existing 4 day tickets to the 7 day tickets now (if they will do it by phone). Would I then be able to upgrade the now 7 day ticket to an AP, if they are available in February? I want to use the value of these 4 day tickets, but am also concerned about booking parks. Thanks again!

Thanks again Robo! Greatly appreciate your patience. Have a great night!

we are heading to Disney next week and I have 4 day park hoppers. My son and I will be back for 4 days in February for his birthday. Does it make financial sense to upgrade to APs for us, or just buy new tickets? If so, when should we upgrade?

Currently, there are no new APs being sold.

Two questions:

1)Daughter bought a promotional 4 Day/4 Park ticket from Disney for a June 2020 trip but trip was cancelled due to Covid, I believe she has until 9/2021 to use it, but won’t be able to use it by then. What are her options to not lose that ticket?

2) Bought 5 6-day Tickets through an authorized Disney reseller for a family trip in June 2021. Son isn’t able to take off work now since his recent promotion, so his 6 day ticket can’t be used for this trip. Do we just lose what we paid for that ticket?

 

[lanejudy]

Two questions:

In both situations, the unused ticket(s) will retain it’s value to use as credit towards a future ticket. I suggest making note of the ticket number and value (when bought) because it will disappear from your MDE; however WDW will still be able to see it when you are ready to upgrade.
