US/IOA hoppers - ID?

[rjmom]

Has anyone recently used the 5for2 US/IOA consecutive day hoppers? Does the park Finger Scan or otherwise mark this for use by a single person or is it possible if part of our group departs early that someone else can use the remaining days? (we would not try to use the same pass for 2 different people on the same day, but 2 of us already have a 2-day only park hopper so we would need to purchase or acquire another day if we decide to go back a 3rd day.)

Also, does anyone know on the MC promo that offers a 5th ticket free when purchasing 4, do all 5 need to be used together or can one of the tickets be held for a future visit? I've read they don't have expirations, but I'm wondering if it is a package deal that all 5 get used at same time.

Thanks for any insight!

I'm doing the 5 for 4 deal and its my understanding you use them individually but you have to give them names for each pass so I don't know how that would work for future visit if same person is using 1 now and one later. HTH!

We used these on our last trip and any 'completely unused' tickets are able to be used on a future trip. Any ticket that is activated and used for one day expires within 5 (or 7? - I forget) days of the first day used.

The tickets have a line where you write your name and then a space below for your signature. They have you fill in and sign the card on the first day of use - do not sign it beforehand. On two of our 3 'consecutive' days we were asked to sign a clipboard with our signature as we entered and they compared the signatures before letting us in - they didn't do this to everyone, just picked a few of us out - I saw them doing this in several of the lines. They did not, however, ask us for picture ID or anything when using the tickets. I suspect they could and would if they suspected that the signatures did not match. There was no finger scan done for these tickets.

We just returned from the parks and were asked to sign the clipboard just about each time we entered the parks. They then really do compare them to the signature on the ticket.

Do they check signature just on the 5for2 or for there normal tickets aswell?

Just received my AAA 2 day with 3rd day free tickets and they also have the spaces for names and signatures.

Anyone know if the regular 2 day/ 2 park tickets or 3 day/2 park tickets need to be signed? - not the ones with 3rd day free (know they must be used for consecutive days and expire) - we were hoping to use the unused days for another trip- I was assuming they could be used by a different person if necessary.
