Thank you!

Just as a confirmation, we purchased our APs a week ago (not activated yet) and made our 5 park reservations for Christmas week already.

Did you buy your AP online or did you call?

Online. Just bought them, assigned them to my wife and myself, and did park reservations the same day.

Thank you. I’ll do the same thing.

Are they activated the first day you use them? If I buy it now but don't use it until April will it last until April 2026? Thanks!

Yes, it doesn't activate until you go to the Guest Service windows by the entrance to one of the parks and that will be the start date of your 1 year.

I believe technically you can go to the window and activate it but it won't start counting until you actually enter the first park but i'm not practiced in that.

Yes, they're activated the first day you use them, not when you buy them.

If I buy it now but don't use it until April will it last until April 2026? Thanks!

Yes, if you buy it now (June 2024), you will have one year to activate (start using it), so you could wait until April 2025 to start using it. Then it will last until April 2026. For instance, if the first day you use it is April 15, 2025, it will expire on April 14, 2025 unless you renew it. If you renew it, the expiration date of the new one will be April 14, 2026.

Curious, is the going rate for an extra PH day around $95 still? (Asking about this week...comparing 2-3d hoppers, or just adding on at gate.

Cost to add 1 day will vary based on your actual dates. But I just spot-checked a couple of dates this week and it looks more like $150-ish plus tax.

Hey all! We are headed to Disney in late October for a short 4 day trip. I know the current ticket deal for 3 or 4 days expires prior to our trip unfortunately. Do you think a new ticket deal for fall may come out or should we just plan on buying our tickets soon at full price.

Never say never... but I'd be highly surprised if WDW offers a ticket special for the fall. That's a very popular time, while summer has been low crowds the past few years. Unless you simply want to get everything done and paid for, you can wait a couple of months to buy tickets. And watch the authorized resellers because they often have some deals (not necessarily as good as the 3-day or 4-day Magic ticket but some savings).

Hi all.

We have 3 single day (non park hopper) tickets as part of our booked vacation package. We also have a complimentary park hopper ticket that Disney gave us awhile back that we'd like to use on our upcoming trip.

Is there a way to specify which ticket to use when we enter a park for the day? We have a specific day we'd like to park hop, towards the end of our stay and want to make sure it doesn't get used on a day we don't plan to park hop.

Thanks for any advice given!

Before you enter your first park of the trip, you need to visit Guest Relations outside the park and ask them to prioritize your tickets so it will use the one you want on that day. And after you enter, you need to visit GR inside the park to make sure the right ticket was used, because if not, it’s much easier to fix at that time.

To be completely certain the right ticket is used each day, I would repeat this process each day until there’s only one ticket left!

DD and I arrive on 9/21. If we buy the 4 day summer special ticket(1 park per day) as long as we use it on 9/22 we can use the other 3 days right? (All in the same week)

Yes, Sept. 22nd is the last “start date” and as such you have through Sept. 28th to use the 4 days.

Thank you. That’s how I read it, just making sure

Can you modify or change dates through MDE. My tickets were bought through MDE and all I get is an error.

Im buying a 2 day, date based PH. As long as I pick a start date that includes my 2 park days should I just pick the cheapest start date or is there more to it that I am not thinking of? Im staying on property so the new LL system is based off my resort stay start date If I understand correctly.

Just pick the cheapest start date that includes all of your intended park days. It won't matter as far as booking the new LL - the system will simply look to see that you have a ticket that could be used on the date you're trying to book.
