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

We have 10 day tickets for our upcoming trip in February. While we will be there 14 nights at Fort Wilderness, we will most likely only visit the parks 10 days BUT, what if I want to go another day or two? Can I add one or 2 days? The most I see is a 10 day ticket. Thanks!

1. You can "ask nicely."
2. 10 is the "normal" maximum number of Theme Park days for USA tickets (other than Annual Passes.)
But, in the past, some guests staying at a WDW resort were allowed to book extra park days for their longer visits.
What you could also do is upgrade to the Water Park option and visit the options that those tickets offer.
(It could turn out to be a bit cool in Feb. for Water Parks, but you never know about Florida weather, and there are other options with the use of those tickets besides the Water Parks.)

Thanks for the info! I think I liked it better when we could get a length of stay pass

With a 3 day ticket bought online from WDW, is the price to add a 4th day while at WDW the difference of the online rate for 4 days, or is it the difference of the gate pricing? Which adds $20?

The online price.

FL resident Annual Pass - my mother is buying a 2nd home in FL and unsure if she will make it her permanent residence. Questions
1. Can she get a Florida ID card and keep her license from her home state?
2. Can she bring her utilty bill and home title and her NON - FL license and be eligble for a FL resident AP?

Thank you!!

Try having HER move the ticket.
If using the phone app, try using a computer and browser.

Restart devices.
Try tomorrow.

Here now, thought I would provide an update. They found my ticket - some how it got linked to another profile I had when I set up Disney Plus. Also while I was at GS I asked them to check some older tickets I had that I wasn’t sure if they had been used. And I asked for an RFID card for my DD to use instead of the old paper ticket from years ago. It is a 5 day MYW ticket and can be used as is. I asked if could add park hopping and she said no, you can’t add hopping because there is no way of doing it because that type of ticket doesn’t exist in the system anymore. Now that gets me thinking of how to posslbe work around it. Maybe they Would apply the cash value to a new ticket? But I’m sure that would cost a lot more. OR ask a different CM and maybe get. Different answer?

1. Sounds good.
2. Well, we don't know exactly what is meant by that statement because (in simplest terms) there do currently exist 5-day tickets with the Hopper added. (We just don't know what the CM "created" for you.)
3. Maybe, but...
4. Yup.
5. You can always ask nicely for what you'd like. (No way to know the answer.)

to upgrade a ticket to an annual pass, is it just before the end of the last day or entry (so 3rd day of a 3 day ticket when we're leaving the park?) Or do I need to do BEFORE using the last day?

By close of business on the day that you use the last ticket asset.

No later than the end of that day. However, there is little or no benefit to waiting that long, now that they’ve closed the loophole that allowed guests to upgrade a ticket to an AP that would have been blocked out on the days the ticket was used. So many guests are choosing to upgrade early in order to get discounts and other AP benefits throughout their stay.

Can the upgrade be done prior to entering your first park day? Both my sister and I have seven day parkhoppers attached to our resort pkg. Were planning on heading to Disney springs on our arrival day (12/4) and going to guests relations to do the upgrade so we can starting using the discounts and they can help with any park recovery issues if necessary. I'm assuming there is no way to upgrade ahead of time (meaning today). I never really bothered to call since it would turn our pkg into a room only reservation and the resort were at is sold out. I'm afraid that when they cancel to rebook, I stand a chance of losing my room

I can think of 2 possible things going on here:
1) is it a partially used non-expiring ticket? It cannot be upgraded now if partially used.
2) I don't believe they can "add" hopping without upgrading to current pricing. Which might not be worth it depending on the value they offer for the ticket in hand.

2. Hmmmm that is true. She just said that the tickets we have they no longer sell so they do not have a way to modify them in the new system. The only reason it would be nice to know ahead of time before March IF this could be done because it would make a difference for dining reservations. I think I will try to ask again before I leave this week. If not maybe I’ll just tell them to buy hoppers and save these tickets for a future non hopping trip. Who know is when or if that will happen. Silly of me not to have gotten the hoppers to begin With. I wonder if these tickets could be used towards an AP renewal? I know they used to able to do that but if they can’t have hoppers added I don’t see how they could upgrade to an AP either. Will let you know what happens when I ask nicely again.

I asked. It has never been used. It is a 5 day MYW ticket bought in 2013 from an authorized resellers.
I wouldn’t mind paying extra to add the hopping. But like you said depending on the value, might not be worth it and better to just buy new tickets and save this for sometime someone comes with us who doesn’t hop. We have been using APs ourselves for many years so these tickets were bought with our kids in mind to use.

Hi, we want to go for 8 days. But on one day we would like to hop to another park. The park hopper is 72$ more for the 8 days, but a day more is 14$. Can I pay for 9 days and use 2 tickeys days , morning at AK and evening in EPCOT? Thanks

Sorry, no, you can’t use a multi day ticket as a hopper.

Hi all. I have an AP that I bought back in 2019 but never activated...planned on doing it in 2020, but you know. They were just called "Platinum Pass" but now when I look they're called "Platinum Pass Exchange"...I've seen discussion of it on the Boards, but never a real solid explanation on what it actually MEANS? I have a trip in April 2022 that I planned on finally activating my AP.

Anyone know?
