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

Our MWR office on base has 1 day tickets on the price list. Do you live near a base? Buy the tickets there, and then you can link them on MDE to make your FP at 60 days, if staying onsite.

MWR price:
1-day Magic Kingdom Ad(10+) $113.00
1-day Magic Kingdom Ch (3-9) $106.75

Thank you! And since they are on base, they are not taxed, right? Buying off the Disney site the total for 2 adult tickets was going to be $244.96 after tax...so it looks like I could save nearly $20 by buying them on base.

Military tickets are just about the only WDW tickets that are not required to have FL tax added to them.

Nearly all other WDW tickets, regardless of if you bought them even in a non-Florida Disney store (for example,) DO have
FL tax added to their price.

Yes there is no tax.

I should have added that they probably have to order them which will take a few weeks. And you can't make your FP selections until the order cones in. So if on-site stay I would order the tickets at least 3 months in advance

Ah thanks! We are actually exactly 3 months out today! I will have my husband check at work tomorrow.

Can that confirmation number be used to link tickets because I want to get fast passes? I want to buy Canadian tickets today to go with my split stay in August that I already booked. I know that I have to show passports when I get there but will it be on my magic band when I get it?

Yesterday , May 2 ,we upgraded 7 day undercover tickets to dvc annual passes at the front desk at blt. Today we noticed the date was Nov 19 as expiration date. I just checked with blt front desk.........and they told me all upgraded tickets are dated from date of purchase. This was a manager type person.




Just got off phone with member services, I need to go over to mk to get it fixed.

1. Can that confirmation number be used to link tickets because I want to get fast passes? I want to buy Canadian tickets today to go with my split stay in August that I already booked. I know that I have to show passports when I get there but
2. will it be on my magic band when I get it?

1. Yes.
2. Yes, you can access the ticket with your MB.

There is a reason to state this so carefully, as there is much confusion regarding
how MBs work and what they contain.

There is no reservation info, or ticket info, or credit card info, or FP+ info "put onto" a MagicBand.
A MagicBand only contains a unique serial number that is used to access the information that is stored in a guest's MyDisneyExperience file.
When the MagicBand is touched to a "Mickey Head Reader,"
the MB's serial number is read and that number creates a an instant connection to the the guest's MDE account info.

The MagicBand works like the combination to a locked safe, or a key to a locked door.
The MB, itself, is not the container of the ticket or FastPass, or Room key number, etc.
The MB just unlocks the guest's file of info, allowing it to be accessed from her/his MDE account when needed.

1. That might be what a CM who had no inkling of an idea of how APs actually work might decide to do things.
However, that has no bearing on correct AP procedure.
The real problem is that CMs must MANUALLY put in a date for the AP start-date, and if the CM doesn't know how to do this correctly,
(s)he could put in any old date at all.

2. Absolutely!

Where those pre feb 12th tickets? and what was the amount of credit they gave you if they were? We plan on the same upgrade in 10 days and i was just curious.

Edit to see...you prob bought them nov 19th? and thats why they dated it for that date.

Subtract the cost of the 14-day UK ticket from the current cost of the DVC AP that you want.
Pay that difference price for the upgrade.

I don't know if (or how) the exchange rate (either on the day you BOUGHT the UK tickets or on the day that you UPGRADE the UK ticket)
will affect the UK ticket's value.

 

[stacey dee]

Thank you, do I subtract the cost I paid for the uk ticket or the cost it is selling for now??

Thanks Stacey

I don't know, but my best guess is the price that it sold for when you bought it (exchange rate may affect this, too.)

It never hurts to "ask nicely" during the transaction about getting the better price (current value) for your original ticket.

That's great, thanks I will give it a try

Hi -

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked and answered - I did a search but didn't see this specific question.

We live in CT but own a townhouse in Kissimmee for which we pay all utilities. The Florida address is listed on those bills but they are mailed to us in CT. We are going down for 4 weeks this summer (yay!) and will purchase APs as that will be the cheapest option. However, I was wondering if we would qualify for Florida resident APs as we will have bills that have a Florida address although our IDs will be a CT address. I did call and the CM said she thought we would qualify as Florida residents but I'm not sure she sounded overly confident in her answer.

Thanks for your help.

Barbara

Hi - just wanted to give an update. I was able to purchase Florida resident tickets but I wasn't able to do it on line as it would automatically default to a Florida mailing address while I wanted to use CT. This was not an issue purchasing over the phone. I was also not able to use the monthly payment plan offerred to Florida residents as the will only allow that with a Florida mailing address. I've checked both the disney website and had confirmed by a cast member that my home insurance bill and utility bills are acceptable proof of residence. The CM I spoke with was quite knowledgable and helpful. I've received email notification the vouchers are on their way. Now we just need to wait until we get there to activate.

Thanks again for your help.

I have a FD package but then decided to start our trip a day earlier. I was unable to get FD for that first night so got a room only discount. I am sure I am unable to access FD until that second day but can I get my park tickets earlier so I can use them that first day? Thanks

This has probably been answered a hundred times so I apologize, but I am looking to upgrade my MYW package tickets to an Annual Pass on the day I arrive. I know I just need to hit guest services at any of the parks, but what happens with my magic band? Do they give me a new one for the AP, or just link the AP to my current one? Will they automatically know I'm an AP when they scan it for discounts and memory maker, or is there a separate card for that?

Sorry if all this is stupid questions. I've never been a passholder before!

1. Correct.
2. Nothing.
3. No.
(They have, in the past, sent a new AP MB at some point after your current trip, but your current MB will work just fine for your AP after you upgrade.)
4. Well, sorta. They link your new AP to your MDE account. Your MB then ACCESSES your MDE info.
5. They don't scan your MB for discounts.
6. Yes.

 

[ItsLayne]

Gotcha. Thank you very much for the information, Robo!

They will still provide a MB based on having an AP. When you activate the AP, and each time you renew, you can go on to MDE and confirm and order a MB based on having an AP. Any and all MB you have will work interchangeably so it's not required to do this. Mostly it's there for locals who don't stay on site to be able to get a MB without having to buy one. I always order it just to give us all the colors. I had all the colors of the last generation and I'm working on getting them all for 2.0
