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

The thing to note is that if you simply want to use your collection of already-purchased tickets, AS-IS...
you will be many dollars ahead of the interim price increases.

It's only if you want to UPGRADE the older tickets that the SNAFU situations come into play.

They'll mostly be used as is, I don't anticipate any other upgrades. In those cases what do I do, go to guest services first and pay the difference? I don't want to get to the front gate and not be allowed in.

You don't need to do anything.
You can use older, never used tickets, as-is.

But, if you want to UPGRADE, you need to go to any ticket booth or Guest Relations to do so.

Ah, thank you! I thought I had to pay the difference going forward for all of them, this is much better news.

Can a 5-day myw “old price” park hopper purchased from UT be upgraded at the gate to a 7-day non park Hopper? Thanks.

upgraded at the gate to a 7-day non park Hopper? Thanks.

Yes, it can be upgraded.

$435.59 Old Price 5-day Hopper
$436.65 Current Price 7-day Base

So, the CURRENT cost to do so would be $1.06.

What it will cost if there is another price increase is yet unknown.

(By the way, you said "upgraded at the gate" but what you mean is "upgraded at a ticket booth or Guest Relations.")

Yes. I use "at the gate" to mean at the booth. That's what we've always called it at Disneyland. I get that it is not done at the turnstile.

Thanks for the info. We had only planned one park-hopping day in our stay, and I don't even know if I'll actually go into both parks that day. Since it will be such a small cost, I might give myself the option for going into one of the parks on the two non-park days we have planned.

couple questions

My mother currently has 2 trips planned. one in June and one in September, both packages with tickets. The June trip we have 8day PH+ and she was planning to purchase memory maker for both trips. Running the numbers its almost break even to upgrade the 8day Ph+ to PPAP and get the memory maker for both trips through the AP. Her second trip in September is a free dining bounce back that requires ticket purchase and has different guests with her that need those tickets.

1. If she upgrades her 8day PH+ on the first day of our June trip, when does memory maker kick in? Is it as soon as AP is activated?
2. Can she save her September package tickets to be used at a later date and would they expire?

1. Yes.
2. Yes to both.
Expiration very likely Dec. 31, 2019.

Thank you. And saving the tickets from a free dining bounce back wont affect the free dining promotion correct?

Just add the ticket numbers to your MDX account under the "Tickets and Passes" listing.
There's a "Link Tickets" button.

Hello all - this is my first post here. This thread is great. I'm hoping someone knowledgeable can help me.

We purchased a 5 day ticket (buy 4 get 1 free) from the Visit Orlando site. This is a base ticket, not hopper. I have four tickets total, and paid $350 per ticket for two adults and $330 per ticket for two kids. Total was $1,360 before discounts were applied for a Black Friday promotion the site was running. I am posting an image below in case that helps.

Our trip is coming up on 02/24/17. I would like to purchase one additional day of base tickets to add onto this ticket we already have.

Can anyone help me figure out how much it "should" cost? My understanding from research is that we need to wait until we arrive at WDW and do this transaction at guest relations or a ticket booth, and that it may be a frustrating process of negotiating with the CM. I would like to be fully armed with what to expect so I can correctly negotiate with them.

Do we need to wait until we have used the ticket to upgrade it? (I.e., our arrival day we will spend at Disney Springs, first day in parks is 02/25...So can this be done at Disney Springs on arrival day?)

Thank you!

The "plus miniature golf free" on those tickets tells me it might be a ticket type that we can't price bridge (or maybe can't upgrade at all, depending on exactly what it is), so it's pretty difficult to tell you what to expect. I'd have to see the 'ticket code' assigned in the ATS system to know anything for sure.

Using it first won't make a difference either way, though.

Thank you for the quick reply! I received actual tickets in the mail, what looks like a credit card. I Also have them linked to my MDE account. Is the ticket code something I can find and share here? I'll look for it if you can point me in the right direction.

Nope, the code I'm referring to is solely inside Disney's computer system. It wouldn't be printed anywhere on your tickets or appear in MDX.

We purchased a 5 day ticket (buy 4 get 1 free) from the Visit Orlando site.

I just tried to check out a few things on their "site."

I can't get the WDW tickets part of the website to open at all.

I assume the tickets will be OK (I HOPE,) but holy cow, they make it impossible to find out anything on their website.

This is what we purchased; the buy 4 get the 5th day free ticket. At the time of purchase they were offering an additional 10% off the listed price (shown on my order summary).

All I get is a blank page with a (never-ending) spinning icon in the center.
