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

You only have 1 year from date of purchase to activate the annual pass. After 1 year, it becomes a credit that can be applied towards another ticket purchase or equal or greater cost.

So would it make any sense to buy,say a 2 day ticket right now,and then upgrade to an AP later in year using my current purchased 2 day ticket? (In order to extend that purchase date,and also to be able to spend more $$$ later in year vs right now) I don't see a downside of doing this,as I wanted to get either a ticket or an AP anyway,(and wanted to make that purchase soon)

I suppose there is no downside to that plan as long as you are fine tying up funds with WDW and will eventually go. There is really no particular value to be gained, though. Nothing gets “extended” and you don’t lock-in the AP rate.

So my parents are taking a trip to florida and might visit disney for a day. Issue is they arent staying on property nor are they very tech savvy so they dont have the disney app.

What would be the best way to get tickets ahead of time for them? Is there a way to purchase tickets and pick them up in person? Im afraid if they just show up day of they run the risk of no tickets being available.

All tickets are digital. Can you or someone they know help them download the app and creating an MDE account? You can then buy tickets and transfer to them. They can buy tickets at the window and the CM will walk them through downloading the app and creating an account.

So just spitballing other workarounds. I have then as guests "managed by me" under my account. Is there a way I can just purchase the tickets for then through my account and send them screenshots of the digital ticket and then get help at the ticket window? I swore one time I was able to get a physical card at the park when I was having issues with my digital ticket.

It is possible to get a card, but all it does is access the profile/ticket stored in MDE. They would need to prove they are the individuals in your account. I don’t know if a CM will allow that without you present or not. Maybe.

I am pretty sure you can note the ticket purchase is a gift on the Disney World website when checking out and it will ask you as the gift giver to enter the legal name on found on the government ID for the recipient. You then forward that email confirmation since it has their name on it.
