Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

[Robo]

Question(s). I have a BB booked that I haven't changed since the original booking (free dining booked last October). If I want to upgrade my ticket from a 6 day PH to a 7 day PH, would all of my pricing change from the original pricing? (Dining plan upgrade, ticket prices, etc). What if I wait until check in?
Also, if I wait until check in to do it, can I upgrade just mine and my son's tickets without having to upgrade my friend's ticket (if she doesnt wanna do a park the day I want to)? We are all on the same package in the same room.

Only in advance must all guests in the resort package have identical tickets.
But, once you check in, you can treat EACH ticket differently (upgrade or not,) if you wish.

If your package was booked prior to the Feb. 2018 ticket price increase, it is likely that you will
have to pay the "2017 Prices" ticket upgrade procedure.

Great. I'll most likely just wait to do it at check in since it's no big deal to wait until then.
Thank you so much!

Okay, so I've read a fair bit in this thread, but can't find an answer here. Maybe I am missing it? I have a Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining booked for myself, two children, and one other adult. The other adult (my Dad) just had to have emergency surgery and cannot come on the trip now. My mother is taking his place. Can she just show up to all reservations/fast passes, etc., and use the magic band and ticket assigned to him? They are six day park hoppers that say non-transferrable in My Disney Experience?

We have 6 people flying in on Saturday afternoon, but aren't planning on any parks that afternoon/ night. 5 of us have actual tickets from UCT. 1 of us has an UCT eticket. All of us have magic bands linked to our tickets and FP+. We plan to do EMH at HS early Sunday morning. Do we need to go to DS and get a hard ticket for the eticket on Saturday or will the magic band be ok for our EMH Sunday morning. Don't want to mess up the EMH!

Thanks!

1. Do we need to go to DS and get a hard ticket for the eticket on Saturday or
2. will the magic band be ok for our EMH Sunday morning.

1. Nope. Not if that ticket can be seen in that guest's file in MyDisneyExperience.
2. Yes. If that ticket can be seen in that guest's file in MyDisneyExperience.

3. and use the magic band and ticket assigned to him?
4. They are six day park hoppers that say non-transferrable in My Disney Experience?

1. Sorry to hear that. Hope he's doing A-OK!
2. Yes.
3. Yes. (Your dad's name will pop up on the CM's view-screen, but it will make ZERO difference.)
4. New, never-used tickets can be transferred to anyone.
But, that's not a concern in this case, anyway.
The first time that ticket is used (in this case, by your mother) a new finger-scan will
be taken at that first gate, and the scan will THEN become the "correct" scan for that ticket
the rest of the trip. (And, it will be your mother's finger-scan.)

Thanks Robo!

How do I know if it is in the guest file in MyDisneyExperience? It shows up on her profile and under "my reservations and tickets".

That's all there is to it.

You are the master! Thank you so much!

Hi all! I will be using my AP Magic Band for the first time on Saturday. I already activated the AP on a previous trip, but will I have to go to GS to link the AP and the Magic Band or will it work automatically? TIA!

 

[Fangorn]

Nothing is ever "linked" to or stored on any Magic Band. Not tickets, ADRs, FPs nor Reservations. Magic Bands are merely electronic keys that access your MDE account. You can have multiple keys all of which are interchangeable.

Assuming the AP MB shows up on your MDE account, then it will work without you doing having to do anything else.

I have a package booked with room, dining and ph. I’m having second thoughts on the ph portion. Am I able to change it to MYW tix? If so, I’m assuming they just take the cost difference off the balance due on the package? (We’re not going until June).

Thank you!

MYW (Magic Your Way) tickets are the overall name for WDW tickets.
What you are asking to do is to change from PH (Park Hopper) to BASE tickets.

Under "normal" circumstances, you can do that, and they will allow for the lower ticket cost.

But you say "dining" is part of your package.
If it is "FREE" Dining, then there may be certain minimum required tickets.

Sorry, I meant base tix. No free dining, just regular dining plan. I’m assuming I probably need to call or is this something I can modify online?

Just call and drop the tickets on the Dec. resort reservation, then buy tickets for those who'll need them either from Disney or order tickets from a discounter.

One last question I swear..... if I decide to keep the package with room, dining and tix and I keep making payments on it until we leave, if the tix prices go up in February (or whenever) will my package price go up to reflect that increase or am I “locked in” on what the price is right now when I purchased the package? Can you tell we’ve never booked a package before?! Thanks again!

You will be locked in.
If you decide to KEEP all of the tickets in the Dec. package, you will be able to SAVE your unneeded ticket(s)
until such time as you DO need them in the future.
You can even use their value to renew your AP, buy a new AP or any other ticket of equal or greater value at that time.
Those tickets will have an expiration date (likely Dec. 31, 2019) but you won't lose any money, as after they expire, you can still use their original value toward buying a new ticket in the future.

Quick question- I got tix through a TA (quite the magical deal). Once I use those once, will I be able to upgrade them to AP?

I know the tickets are technically convention tickets.

TIA!

Maybe.
But, any "deal" you got will be lost.

You will only get the value of the price of those convention tickets if they do allow an upgrade.

Using a ticket before upgrading does not affect the ability to upgrade, nor the price of the upgrade.

If you intend to upgrade, you'd be much better off buying your tickets
via an Authorized ticket discounter (like UndercoverTourist.com or many others.)
You then WOULD get to keep the discount when upgrading to AP.
