If you purchased a MYW ticket, as long as the ticket has not been used to enter any park gate,
it is considered "unused" and remains valid forever.
In addition to being held by the guest for future use, an "unused" ticket can be given or sold to anyone.
I am going to OKW for Thanksgiving with children and grandchildren (big group). We will be buying a lot of tickets (8) and getting them before the next price increase (Feb.?) should save a lot. However, you never know when someone may have to cancel their trip and before we put down a lot of money I want to know if the unused tickets can be used on a future trip. Before I found the above post about MYW tickets having no expiration date I had called Disney to see what the expiration date on unused tickets actually is. The Disney CM told me that unused "non-discounted" MYW tickets would not expire, but when I inquired what "non-discounted" actually meant I did not get a clear answer. I explained to her that I often buy tickets through AAA, and needed to know if this would be considered a discounted ticket and therefore expire at some point. I did not feel comfortable with her answer. She did not say tickets bought from resellers would be recognized. AAA gives a small discount over Disney prices. Does anyone know if I have to buy directly from Disney to be sure the tickets won't expire? Thanks.
