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

[Robo]

Thank you so much. As you can tell this is one thing I have never done in all the years I have been going to Disney . What will he need when we get a new admission ticket. I am assuming he needs something with his name on it to show the names match ~ do I need to have something as well/do I need to even be there when he goes for the new card?

All adult guests should carry a legal photo ID at all times at WDW.

I am aware of that, thank you. I will call Disney directly to get a complete answer to my question. Sorry for being an annoyance with my questions.

I recommend that you do not call Disney for these kind of things.
The answer you get will likely be incomplete, at best, incorrect, at worst..

Are there some questions that you still have about this that have not been answered here?

Your reply was all:

I guess your answer would apply for my question of I assume he needs something with his name on it. Not sure how it answers if I need to have or do something or even be there when he goes for the new card.

These may seem like dumb/stupid questions but as I stated in the post this is the one thing that I have never done in all my years of going to Disney. I want to be able to have whoever needs to be at guest services there and with exactly what they need in order to get us in and out of line quickly and not hold us or anyone else up.

Your response of every adult should carry a legal photo ID made me remember why I don't ask questions on this site. A lot of times you are made to feel like an idiot.

Your response below makes me laugh, as you too gave an incomplete response.

Once a ticket has been transferred to someone else in MDE, that person can claim it with an ID.

I am going to be purchasing Disney Youth tickets for Beta convention. If I choose to add a day at the park, does anyone know the cost? Is it the difference between full-price and what I paid or would it be the same difference from what I paid and what I would have paid if I added the third day?

I am looking at either buying a 3 day single park (@$247) or a 2 day park hopper ($227) and possibly upgrading a third day if we want. Any ideas?

Thanks!

hello, I have a question please. I am up for renewal, received renewal in mail the other day. I would like to add a pass, is this possible or will it have to be a separate transaction? Thanks!

I read the posts in the beginning, but I'm still a bit unclear on the cost.

I purchased a 5 day PH from UT PRIOR to the price increase. My trip is in November, and im considering going to a park on arrival day, but that wasn't the original plan. My qustions:

1. If I add a day to the park hoppers prior to using them, is that okay or do I need to use them first and then stop on our way out?
2. Is it the cost difference between the two tix prior to the increase, so I'm paying for a 5 to a 6 day pre-Feb which is about $20 or is it going to be $60?

TIA!

Hey! Question about tickets. (Sry if it's already been asked)... we're looking at planning a vacation this Fall (hopefully when free dining becomes available if possible.) If we book a ticket for 3, what happens if one person is not able to attend? My daughter may bring a family friend this year, but I know how teens can be and I don't want to get stuck with a ticket cost if it "falls through" after the cancellation window. (long story- she had a friend that backed out of going on a vaca last summer ONE DAY before we were leaving.... I felt so bad for her. Financially wise it didn't involve tickets at a place like Disney thank goodness, but it has me being cautious now.)

I know there are new expiration requirements, that you have to use the ticket by Dec of the following year. So my questions are:

1- if the worse should happen and she backed out after the deadline for changing my reservation, would we be able to use the ticket by Dec of 2018 then? 2- Or if we didn't end up using it, could trade it in on a future ticket even if it's after 2018, (as long as it's unused of course), but pay the upcharge to whatever current price would be minus what we paid?
3- what would happen to the free dining promotion part of the ticket? (I'm sure that would NOT stay with the ticket since that promotion is linked to specific dates, but would we be able to use the free dining meals when we were there at least? It would be quick service so we could use some of them for "fill in" meals- or convert to 'bring home' snack options at the very least.)

Sry if this is clear as mud, I looked everywhere on line and couldn't see any info

If she backs out after the cancellation window, you'll just be charged $50 to remove her from the reservation. Sometimes you'll get a cast member who wants to sprinkle pixie dust and they will waive that. If it's the day prior to arrival, that may not be possible, I've never dealt with that.

But even if she bails and you don't remove her from the reservation, the ticket will be transferable. If not used prior to expiration it will hold its value toward a new ticket. Her meal entitlements will remain in your pool to be used however you like.

Hoping someone can she'd some insight...

Arrived today with a 6 day hopper purchased with a room only package. Since I purchased the package, I've learned I'm coming back in November with my daughter's dance group, so I decided to upgrade to AP.

My understanding was that I should upgrade the first day so that benefits would kick in, but the CM at the ticket booth said absolutely not, I can only do it on my last day or "you could lose everything!". I tried to clarify if that meant my fastpasses? She said EVERYTHING! I was confused at this point, and asked, "what do you mean, everything? They're going to ask me to leave the hotel?" I was kind of joking...She said "possibly". At that point, I wanted to talk to a supervisor, she then said that she's let me do it and supervisor said it was okay but that I'd probably (you guessed it) lose everything! At that point, I was afraid to do anything since my sisters have the same package and I didn't want to mess anything up.

So is the problem one person on a package trying to upgrade? Any insight appreciated! Thanks!

The CMs were absolutely BATTY!
No truth that you would lose ANYTHING.

Go elsewhere and upgrade

Ok, good to know. My coping skills were compromised by both a lack of coffee and a desire to get into the park for 7am EMH, so I didn't really want to invest any more time at that point! I will give it another try tomorrow - thanks for the response!

My suggestion is...
To be SAFER, I would purchase the new AP (it will be an AP "certificate" if purchased on-line, or over the phone) as a separate transaction.
That way, the new AP will not accidentally have the old anniversary date of your current AP renewal.
It will then have a new, later anniversary date. The date that you finally activate it at WDW.

2c. or is it going to be $60?

TIA!

1a. Yes.
1b. Nope.
2a. No.
2b. The price may or may not be $20-ish, but it is not related to the situation you described in 2a.
2c. It is still unclear about the cost of "adding a day." (I hope it is $20-ish.)
It never hurts to "ask nicely" for a better price, it the upgrade cost seems too high.
Please report back and let us know what happens.

Do these tickets have an expiration date or "use by" date.

 

[emsstacey]

I think I found the answer. These are Disney Youh tickets and I don't think ink they are upgradable. We don't have them in our hands yet, was trying to decide prior to purchasing.

Thanks!

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered

We have a bounce back MYW free dining package booked with 8 day hoppers and Waterpark August 11-18. We will be driving down and will arrive the afternoon of August 10. Would we be able to use the MYW tickets before the package begins? Would we be able to go into the parks in August 10 with the magic and?

Thanks!

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Your MBs will work for park entry and FP+ as soon as you activate your tickets.
Simply go to any Guest Relations with your package info and the CM can activate
your tickets up to 10 days before check-in date.

Thank you for asking this question. I was just going to ask about using tickets in a package while staying at the Dolphin for 5 nights before an on-site package begins. I read through all the FAQ/Sticky posts and didn't find the answer (but could've missed it in all those pages). Good to know when making decisions about (rumored) free dining with limited check in dates late in November.
