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

I'm considering buying a 3 day ticket from AAA. It's a nice savings from the WDW website price. It also comes with a $20 dining voucher, but I won't be going to any of those restaurants. I'm not going to AK or to Disney Springs (where all the restaurants are). Does anyone know if I can give the $20 voucher to someone else?

Edit: NVM. I found cheaper tickets on unlocked magic without the dining credit.

If we have to cancel our upcoming trip that starts on 11/16, what will happen to our dated tickets if we don't use them because we can't go? Thanks for help!

Make note now of each ticket number and Disney’s online price when you bought them. If you don’t use them, they’ll convert to a credit that you can apply 1:1 to purchase of new tickets or APs later. They’ll disappear from your MDE, and you’ll have to call to use the credit, because only the CM will be able to see the credit on your account.

Thank you so much for the info - great tip about noting the numbers and price!

PP's info is good if you bought tickets outside of a package.

If you bought tickets WITH a package and are cancelling the whole thing -- talk to WDW. You may be able to push out the vacation with little or no penalty. If you do this, the tickets will move with the resort reservation to the new dates. If you cancel outright you may be subject to a $200 penalty (for packages) and the tickets will cancel along with the room reservation.

Thanks for this. We haven’t booked a package for years, so I forget about those aspects!

I have a question regarding upgrading to an annual pass and I can’t figure out the best way to proceed.

I currently have a 10 day resort & ticket package booked for October 2026 for a solo trip. My fiance just suggested that we do a trip to Fort Wilderness February/March 2027.

I know that I could save money if I upgrade my tickets from the October trip to an AP for myself and then just buy his tickets separate for February. The AP would likely save me some money on the resort booking for February. My question is this: should I buy an AP, change my October trip to room only with AP discount and activate my AP at Disney Springs before checking in to the resort to ensure an AP discount or keep the package as is and upgrade to an AP when I’m onsite in October?

I’ve gone back and forth so many times I think I’m confusing myself.

There is no guarantee you will get an AP rate for your desired dates and resort so I would keep your current package.

You can check once the AP discount is released for fall 2026 and decide. If the math is better with an AP discount call in to book it, cancel the old package 31+ days in advance, buy the best ticket deal at the time from an authorized dealer, and upgrade the ticket in the My Disney Experience app.
