Transferring MYW Tickets to Room Key **Updated on post #6**

[J and R's mom]

Has anyone bought their MYW tickets early (preferrbly through TicketMania as I would like to do) and been able to have those ticket transferred onto their room keys recently?

I purchased our tickets ahead of time at the Disney Store. When we checked into our resort they told us we could not transfer them to the room key.

How long ago was that trip and what resort did you stay at?

I've posted this question on several boards and get varied responses. Some have done this numerous times with no problems, while others say that the first CM tells them it can't be done but they get help from either a manager or more experienced CM and get it done.

When I call disney and ask I have gotten two responses. One from a gentleman that had previously worked at BCV and said that he had done this for folks many times. The other from a lady who said that it could only be done if I purchase the tickets at the resort upon check-in (which will cost us substancially more than the discounted tickets).

I don't know if you can do this through ticketmania, but you can purchase MYW tickets in advance from Disney and have them put on your room key. We just did this. I believe they call it "Key to the world" tickets. When you call Disney reservations, specify when you order the tickets that you want them on your room key. I was told that the ticket purchase was attached to our reservation (room only), and the tickets would be put on the room keys when we checked in. I did this just a few days ago.

We were there in July and we had purchased our tickets through Ticketmania, at check-in I asked to have our ticket put on our room key and they did it without any problem. BTW, we stayed at POR.

Thanks for all of the responses!

I just called BCV directly and asked them if this could be done. The CM said, "No," at first and when I told her about reading on the DIS that some folks had had it done she put me on hold to check into it further. When she came back on the line she said that IT CAN BE DONE and to take the request over to the hotel concierge desk and they'll handle the transaction there.

I hope this helps anyone else with this same question. At the very least, be prepared for a NO at first and then keep asking and someone will eventually be able to get it done for you, most likely the concierge desk.

Sometimes it amazes me how the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. And people wonder why the government has a hard time with it.
