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

That sounds like some kind of comp ticket, which would need a theme park reservation for the first park of the day. Your cousin should create an MDE account, link the tickets, and make the theme park reservation. Everything is digital now so just showing up won't work.

Re-reading... THIS Saturday? As in tomorrow? They may need to just show up and plan it will take them some time to do the above. I'm not sure 17-yr-old tickets will even link to MDE without assistance. But they should probably try at home just in case it does work.

lol, yes tomorrow… I lost track of my days and didn’t realize it was tomorrow!
Yes I’d be surprised if there is any way to link this tickets online.
Thanks for your quick response. I might come back here and report how it worked out for them.

What does it mean when it says "Reservations are not available for this date", but under the date is a green circle. I thought that meant I was OK. I'm trying to make park reservations for this next week. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (the 26th, 28th, and 29th) are apparently "Good to go" days, so I don't need reservations. On Tuesday, the 27th, however, that's the date that says "reservations are not available for this date". Does that mean I'm not allowed into any park that day?

Never mind! Apparently, I'd already made a park reservation. If I want, I could modify or cancel, but it's already in My Plans, and I forgot.

Does Disney still price bridge tickets? For some reason I thought something changed and that practice went away, but maybe I imagined that. To be more specific, we need tickets for a June trip. We may want to upgrade to AP's (Sorcerer AP's since we have DVC). Is it still beneficial to buy from a discounter such as UCT, use the tickets, and then do the upgrade in person? If so, would we still get "credit" for the full price value of the ticket on the date it was purchased, in order to figure our upgrade cost? TIA!

Your credit towards upgrade will be the price WDW sold that same ticket online at the time you bought from UT. No need to use the ticket first, it makes no difference in the credit value.

I have an AP but my daughter does not. I have memory maker added to my AP, will photos of my daughter and my granddaughter show in my memory maker if I scan them in? We are all traveling together, so while I am standing there with them, I often do not want to be in the photos myself.

Simple answer, Yes.

As long as they are in your Family and Friends List and everyone has photo sharing turned on, then any pictures scanned to anyone's MB should show on your account without the watermark. Just did this in Dec with family. Everyone is linked to me, and I have MM. They see the pictures with the watermark, I see them without it, and can download them. Doesn't matter who's MB is used to scan, but i tend to always use mine if I'm around, just to be safe. Suggest on your first day, you try it, having your daughter scan the photos and verify that you see them without the watermark. If for some reason it doesn't work, there are PhotoPass locations in each park that can figure out why.

Awesome thanks! We are all connected in F&F.

Question about using old, 'non-expiring' tickets.

A friend has a couple of 'non-expiring' tickets from 2007. They have 4 days remaining on them.

They plan to use 2 of the days this year. Will this trigger all 4 days to have to be used within a certain number of days or, can they use 2 days now and save the remaining 2 days for another trip? I'm pretty sure it's the first scenario but wanted to ask.

Bridging & Lightning Lane Question: I currently have a 10 dated ticket and I plan on getting lightning lanes for ~6 of the days once my window opens up. I then plan on bridging my tickets to an AP the day before our first park day at Disney Springs. Couple of questions:

1) Will they dump my lightning lanes for more than 3-days out? Or can I keep them all?

2) If I bridge before my first park day, but in the middle of the my dated ticket date range, the AP won't actually start until the first time I tap into a park, correct?

Thank you.

These tickets were originally longer had the “non-expiring” option? They can use 2 days now and save the last 2 days for another visit(s).

If they are fully unused 4-day tickets all entries must be used within 14 days of first use unless the extra was spent for non-expiring option.

Thank you. I’ll find out more info. Thanks for your help!

Why not just buy an AP to begin with and save yourself the hassle? If you use a day of the 10 day ticket before upgrading, that is the day your AP will start, you won't get extra days. Not sure if you qualify for any of the FL resident or DVC passes, if you do, make sure your ticket isn't used during an AP blackout period, because from what I understand, you won't be able to upgrade it if it would have normally been blocked out. For instance, if you want a Sorcerer's pass and one of the days you use your 10 day ticket is in the blackout window for that pass, you won't be able to use it to upgrade. If it's an Incredipass, you should be good as it doesn't have blackout dates. @lanejudy is the expert, I am sure she can provide feedback, too!

Thanks. It will be the Incredipass. The reason to not upgrade it beforehand is to get the better Lightning Lane Selections that a multi-day ticket provides verses the AP.
