Using WDW tickets at DISNEYLAND

[RESEARCH]

I have 4 one day hoppers left over from my trip to WDW.
I call DISNEYLAND and no one could give a firm answer if they would accept
those tickets as park entry.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE PAST EXPERIENCE ?
Can they be used to "hop" between both parks?

WDW tickets aren't valid at DL. You'll have to buy new tickets.

Yes, you can exchange your left over WDW park hopper days to get DL tickets, and yes it will be park hopper. Theory is that since WDW passes cost more than DL, Disney is coming out ahead because you are using a higher priced ticket for a lower priced admission.

This has also been confirmed on mousesavers.com

Just go to guest service on the left side of Disneyland's enterance and they will exchange them for Disneyland Tickets.

I have personally used old, like five years old, WDW tickets at DL. At the time, I didn't need to exchange them but did have to wait about 10 minutes to have them verify what was left on the ticket but disneychrista is probably right about having to go to guest services now to have them exchanged. Probably need the new ones for fast pass.

Annual passes are another matter. Those are not transferable.

I'm surprised that no one has stated this yet, but why would you do that unless you were absolutely, positively, beyond the shadow of a doubt, never going back to WDW for the rest of your life. Save those tickets for your next trip to WDW! They NEVER expire. DL tickets are generally cheaper, so you would essentially be losing money using WDW tickets at DL.

example.... for the sake of argument let's say you paid $20 per day for these older tickets and there are two days left on them... for a total of $40.

But WDW daily prices are now $50 (just for the sake of argument... I know it is not this price) and DL prices are $30. You are using a $20 ticket to pay for a $30 day in DL rather than a $50 day in WDW. Again, I was just using random numbers for an example... but I think you get my point.

The only reason I could see to use these would be....#1. you just cannot possibly come up with the cash to go to DL right now any other way. or #2. you are a person who easily loses/misplaces things and you figure you have been lucky to hold on to these for this long and figure you better use them now. or #3. Like I stated above, you absolutely will never return to WDW for as long as you live. HTH.................P

If you are going to Disneyland for only one day I can see how it might be worth it, since 1-day hoppers are $73 and there is not as much of a price difference on WDW hoppers, say between 4-day and 5-day, if you were to go back.

How about WDW AP holders? I assume that these cant be used at DL.

Annual Passes are only good at the sepcified Resort. WDW is only good at WDW, DLR only good at DLR, etc.

I am trying to save money and these 4 x 1 day hoppers were given to me by WDW as a customer service consideration. I have been to WDW 3 times in the last 6 years and do not see going back for another 4-6 years. I WAS HOPING TO GET AN ANSWER that
would give me a chance to explore my options.
I realize the tixs are more valuable but if it saves me $$$ why not use them now.

If these were "comp" tickets then you may not be able to use them at Disneyland.
