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

I have some family members that were going to Disney with us. Now they are saying they may not be able to afford it. I already bought MVMCP tickets. They don’t know because it was going to be a surprise ugh. If they don’t go can I get a credit to put towards the dining plan for the rest of us ?

Very unlikely. You can typically only get credit towards another special event (not including enchanting extras). This happened to us when we missed a party because DH was in the ER from a bad fall at our hotel. Even with the paperwork from the ER at the time of the party, nothing else was offered.

Looks like we should probably take advantage of this gift card deal and purchase an AP for our 2 year-old a few months earlier than anticipated (for when she turns 3). Still feels SUPER young to be getting an AP lol.

I have tricky AP question. Pre-covid, I was an avid WDW AP holder and haven't been back since then. I am so far out of the loop it isn't funny. I have a WDW Platinum Pass Adult Exchange Certificate from Tickets at Work that I bought in 2019. How are they going to handle this? Will they really exchange it for an AP at this point?

I read in another thread that someone who bought very recently called and was sent the GC. It’s worth a try!

The Platinum Pass has no expiration and should still be honored by WDW without any additional payment from you. Legacy passes are still listed on the blockout calendar on the WDW website https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passes/calendar/platinum-annual-pass/

Since you have Platinum it's actually easier than a Gold since those blockout dates changed. Platinum has no blockouts so WDW will most likely just convert your Platinum Pass certicate into an Incredi-Pass WITH PhotoPass downloads. PhotoPass is no longer included with new APs and is an up charge so make sure whatever they give you has it included.

You'll sadly get varying answers depending on who you speak with and how long they've been with Disney. If the frontline CM you speak with is unsure just politely ask to speak with a supervisor.

Has anyone here successfully upgraded 3rd party/authorized reseller PH tix to an AP under the GC promo? CM indicated to me that it could be done but haven't seen it confirmed.

Third party tickets can be upgraded to AP so I see no reason why the GC promo would impact that. Your credit for upgrade will be the price WDW sold same ticket on the date you purchased from the reseller.

Historically no, they will not issue you a refund nor will you be able to apply the money towards the DDP. The credit for the funds would remain in your account and need to be used towards another special ticket event in the future.

Thank you!

We did try already but were told this wasn’t possible. New purchases only starting July 22nd. Maybe worth one more try
