I am seeing a Kids 50% off offer for tickets right now. Do we know will this be able to be bridged?

Going to be purchasing DVC AP (let them lapse last year as we took a year off from WDW).

I have bridged normal tickets from a reseller in the past but didn't know about this 50% offer one if it could be bridged or not.

When does Disney usually post 2026 tickets for sale? I have a trip in January which I did last year but it's ben 2 years since I planned that so I can't recall the timeframe.

If purchasing from an authorized reseller, I expect it would be credited for WDW’s sale price, not full price.

Its the same company we used last time when they did the full price of the tickets even though we were discounted. https://www.undercovertourist.com/

If that changes your answer any?

Was WDW offering the same discount last time? Or was it just “regular” discounted through the reseller? Tickets through a reseller are almost always discounted compared to WDW price. The 50% off child’s ticket is available through both WDW and the resellers — so no I don’t think it will bridge to full price.

I searched through the last few pages and found a partial answer to my question, but I want to make sure I understand things.

I am going to WDW with 4 friends later this month. One pair will be there for 4 days so we are going to get them a 3-Day 3-Park pass and a 1-Day base pass to the Magic Kingdom. The other pair will be there for 5 days so the plan for them is to buy a 3-Day 3-Park pass and a 2-Day base pass starting on Day 3. They plan on going to the MK twice, on Day 3 and Day 5. This turns out to be cheaper, especially for the 4 day folks.

(1) Our plans are as follows: Day 1, Epcot; Day 2, DHS; Day 3 MK; Day 4 AK; Day 5 MK

(2) I know they will have to prioritize the 3-Day 3-Park pass when we go to AK on Day 4. I don't want to waste time at Guest Services outside before entering the park. Can we double-check the correct pass was used while inside the park, maybe on the way out?

(3) Will I be able to make LLMP/LLSP for all 5 days? Will the system pick up that the 2-Day is valid for the 2 MK days?

Could you stop the night prior, on your way out of MK, to have the 3-day Magic ticket prioritized for the next morning? That would be your best option. You can (and should) also check after you enter AK that the correct ticket was used; it will be much easier to correct at that point rather than waiting until the next day or even back at your resort that night.

DSIL is at WDW now and has this question-in 2022, she bought 6 single day 1 park tickets, with the expectation that she, DBIL, and DMIL (the 3 of them) would spend 2 days at parks. Unfortunately, DMIL had a severe stroke at the hotel the night before they expected to go to Epcot (we'd planned to meet them there) and in the aftermath, emergency life-flights, hospitalization, etc. the tickets were forgotten. Now, 3 years later, DSIL and DBIL plan to go to Epcot and want to know if there's any value to the tickets? Can the value of them be used to buy new tickets or are they expired and useless?

Sorry about the medical emergency.
Yes, the unused tickets still have value since they were single-day tickets. She’ll need to call and the value can be applied towards current/future tickets of equal or greater cost, paying any difference. It’s a 1:1 credit (cannot combine 2 single-day tickets towards a multi-day ticket).

I have an annual pass that expires October 30, 2025.

I want to let the pass expire, then purchase a new annual pass to activate in March 2026.

The annual pass price went up in October last year, so I would like to purchase the new annual pass in September 2025. However, at that time, my current annual pass will still be active.

Can I purchase the new annual pass in September 2025 and let it sit in my account until I activate it in March 2026? Will this work?

I believe when you renew before it expires, the new AP starts the day after the old one expires.

I don't want to renew it. I want to purchase a new pass and wait to activate it until next year. I'm wondering if I can purchase it before my current pass expires and wait to activate it.

 

[lanejudy]

You should be able to purchase a new AP voucher. If nothing else, "park" it under a different profile in MDE. Make a profile "JPoppy" to hold the new voucher so it doesn't get mixed up with active tickets listed under "PoppyJ."

Sorry. I misunderstood what you wanted to do. In that case, I have no idea, but it looks like lanejudy knew.

Just to be clear, if you get the “renewal discount”, your AP starts at the expiration of the old one and you can’t activate it when you want.

I would purchase a new pass. I did go to the website to do a mock purchase and it did give me the option to purchase at the "Annual Price" or "Renew Now". I went through the steps to purchase a new annual pass while logged in and it all seemed to work, which is a good sign that this plan will work.

I didn’t know this was even an option. Didn’t want you to get an unpleasant surprise.

Hello,
When booking a Walt Disney World Resort & Park Tickets Package, why is the limit for park tickets only 10 days?
Thanks in advance?

 

[gottalovepluto]

For the US market they only sell tickets up to 10 days, duration of resort stay does not change that.
