When do my tickets expire?

[matsterrocks]

I get my 7 day park hopper tickets on Sun Oct 7th. When is the 14 days up?
Can I use them on Sun Oct 21st? (Dose the first day count towards the 14 or is it 14 days after first use?)

I think they're good for 14 days including first day of use (unless you purchase non-expiry). So if you use it for the first time on Oct 7, the last day you could use it would be Oct 20.

You get the tickets on Oct. 7, but will you first USE them on Oct. 7? They are good for 14 days after first use, not after purchase.

mousesavers talks about having to add upgrades "within 14 days (day of first use plus 13 days)" so I'd suspect that's when tickets expire.

allearsnet also talks about having to double up on two days to completely use a 10-day ticket with 6 water park days, which would also suggest that you have 14 days total to use the ticket, not the first day plus 14 days.

The usage lifespan is 14 consecutive Disney days or fractions thereof. (A Disney day ends around 3 AM, after extra magic hours end at all parks.)

The 14th day, starting on the 7th, is the 20th. If the first day of use is a Saturday, then the last day that it will work is the second Sunday.

On the officially published (public on display) sheet is the following: "Theme Park admission and Options must be used within 14 days from first use unless the No Expiration option is purchased." The word "within" is the critical word.
