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

[Avery&Todd]

1. Yup.
2. Any tickets that are seen in your MDX account are already accessible via any MagicBand that is active in your MDX account.

THANK YOU!!!

 

[LeslieLou]

Nope.

Many thanks for the confirmation, Robo!

1. Doesn't sound like it'll be a "thing" to me. (But, I don't have any inside scoops.)
2. Not in my opinion.
3. You could.
4. First day of use.

Thanks again!

3. Nothing is ever "put onto" any Magic Band (MB.)
Tickets are linked to ("put into") your MyDisneyExperience (MDX) account and then any MB that you own can ACCESS any and all of those tickets.
4. Nope.

1. That ticket can remain exactly as it is in your MDX account for the duration of your October trip.
2. Before you go on your October trip (right now, today, would be a good time to do this)
create a "new person" (fake name) in your MDX account. Then, transfer the new 4-day ticket
over into that "new person's" account.
That way, your 4-day ticket will not accidentally be used by you in October because it is no longer seen under your name.

Then, after your October trip, you can transfer the 4-day ticket back under your real name.

When you get to WDW in February, BEFORE going to a park gate, go to any Guest Relations and have your 4-Day ticket's PRIORITY set to the HIGHEST PRIORITY.
That way, the 4-day ticket will be used first and not the remaining days on your Non-expiring ticket.

Hi Robo -

One more question!! If I purchase a 3-day ticket and add to MDE to use in October (instead of using my 10-day no expiration ticket) can I go to Guest Relations in October and request that they give the 3-day ticket HIGHEST PRIORITY? Then I would add the 5-day ticket and have them give that HIGHEST PRIORITY in February. (I would think so but just want to confirm )

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
You can have any of your tickets' priority set and/or reset as many times as you need.

(You could change which ticket was used "next" multiple times per trip, if necessary.)

1. Yes.

Thank you!!!!

Are Annual Pass prices/restrictions going to change tomorrow? I am trying to decide if I should purchase our Platinum Passes today for our December trip. One of us will have to wait until December because we are using old tickets towards the purchase of his AP but should the other three get our passes today?

No one knows for sure but they haven't in the past. AP have had a different schedule.

Thanks, Angi! I did just chat with Disney on their site and the agent said that only standalone tickets will be affected by tomorrow's price changes and AP's will be unaffected by either pricing or restrictions. Do you feel the chat agents are a reliable source of information? Anyone have any experience with that?

My coworker bought three 4 day PH + tickets in 7/2004. Each of the three tickets have 1 day left. They did not visit any water parks only Disney Parks. Would they be converted to three 1 day PH tickets or can they be merged into one 3 day PH ticket. And what becomes of the "+" entitlement on each ticket? Would it be for a total of three water park visits, either all on one ticket or one visit on three separate tickets?
TIA,
Amy

What do you all think should I buy my tickets today for end of August 2019. I only need 2 day tickets for MK and HS for my family of 4. Was going to do a room only booking and buy tickets separate. I'm so confused as to what to do. Thanks!!!

Couldn't you just convert your room only to a package by adding the two day base ticket? And if, for some very unusual reason, ticket prices lowered for your dates, you could just convert back to a room only reservation. I would think it would be best to add them to your package today.

Does anyone know if it's still possible to have old non-expiring tickets converted onto RFID media. I've been meaning to do that since they switched to the RFID but didn't know if it could still be done since the elimination of the NE tickets several years ago. I prefer not to have them loaded onto MDE at this time because of AP's but would like to have an up to date usable media if we want to use any "extra" options.

Yes, it is.

TIA,

Nothing can be changed, upgraded or combined on tickets that have been partially-used over 14 days ago.
Old tickets with any "visits" remaining can only be used for the actual visits that remain.

 

[Robo]

Do you feel the chat agents are a reliable source of information?

Lots and lots of "experience."

Reliable?
No.

But, even a stopped clock is right two times a day.

(But seriously, it is quite possible (and many of us do believe it) that tomorrow the APs
will not be "changed."
But, that only speaks to tomorrow, and even that is only speculation.)

I jumped (pardon the pun) on 2 10-day PH from Undercover Tourist for our December/january trip and my plan is to bridge them to DVC Gold APs once we are out of the black-out dates. I have not bridged since the new rules were put in place. It used to be that the tickets were "worth" the same as the gate price of a current ticket of the same length & features when I bridged and that would be applied to the AP/upgrade. Now, they are "worth" the price when the ticket media was issued. Will the expected value to be applied to my AP be today's gate price or today's advance purchase price? I often have problems bridging tickets (even when it's straight forward) and it's good to know what I expect to pay in advance.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Yes, it is.

Thank you Robo! I'll have to try and remember to bring them along on our upcoming trip and get that taken care of.

1. Many "new rules" have still not been put into place. Some change tomorrow.
2. Yup.
3. That is true of the "more recent" tickets.
4. Many "new rules" have still not been put into place. Some change tomorrow.
5. Tune in later this week for more current news.
