I have tickets from 2002 they had 1 or 2 days left on them. My question is are they still good and how can I find out how many days I have left on them?

QUESTIONS ABOUT UNUSED TICKETS

What happens to my leftover Park Hopper tickets now that they stopped selling them and the Magic Your Way tickets are out?

Your unused admissions for both major parks and plus options will continue to be valid until used up. Any restrictions associated with the tickets will still be in force, i.e. some specialty tickets had an expiration of 10 days after first use. That will continue to apply.

Why do I need to show a photo ID now to buy a ticket?

You have always had to show a photo ID when purchasing certain tickets like AP/PAPs. Now with the Magic Your Way tickets, the photo ID requirement has been extended to all theme park tickets. Every adult age 18 and up must present a photo ID when purchasing or activating MYW tickets/vouchers at WDW. Children under 10 do not require photo ID.

I have a 5 day pass but only use 2 days. What happens to the other days?

It depends on what ticket you have. If you are using one of the old Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus tickets, your unused WDW days remain valid. You can use the unused portion on your next trip or upgrade your ticket as described in the Upgrade section below. The unused PLUS options on the Park Hopper Plus passes also do not expire.

If you are using one of the MYW tickets, your unused days will expire 14 days after first use of the ticket un
less you purchase the No Expiration add on. The No Expiration option can be added to any MYW ticket prior to the 14 day window expiring. It is a flat fee based on the original length of the ticket, not a per day cost. Once you add the No Expiration option, your ticket and any unused park admission (or plus options if applicable) will never expire.

I bought a child's ticket for my son/daughter last time I was at Walt Disney World. There are still unused park admissions on that child's ticket but my child is now well past the 10 year old adult ticket level. Can I do anything about these days?

See the EXCHANGING OLD CHILDREN'S TICKETS section in the Upgrading WDW Ticket section for complete information.

How do I go about using the left over day on a really old 1980's five day park hopper? I know I have to transfer it to the currently used media form. My question is can I apply it to another park hopper and get a discount? Or would it be easier just to use the day as is and buy another pass?

You are right that you literally have two options right off the bat: 1) ticket media conversion for old pre-1996 passes or 2) ticket upgrade.

TICKET MEDIA CONVERSION - By converting your tickets to the current magnetic strip ticket media, you pay nothing and allow for the ease of use with the new magnetic strip reading turnstiles. Your magnetic strip passes can also be used in the FastPass machines. This allows everyone with any days left on their old WDW tickets to use them. You can convert these passes at any major park ticket booth or Guest Relations window at no charge. Once converted, the new tickets you get will be good at all four Disney Theme Parks.

TICKET DOLLAR CREDIT - You can apply the prorated dollar value of the old ticket towards the current purchase price of a new ticket. Guest Relations will apply to your current purchase of tickets a credit equal to the ratio of days remaining over days originally bought times the *cost* of the original ticket. ***Remember this credit will be worth less to you in the form of a credit then what it is worth to you as an admission medium***. The per day credit will be less than the per day cost of the new ticket.

Now, the question as to which you really should do. Yes, you can apply the credit towards the purchase of a new passport. But, in reality, if you will use up all the days on your existing ticket and the new passport with basically no trouble, then it would be worth more to you to do a media conversion and buy another passport when you need to. Only if you were never planning on coming back to WDW (or not for a long while) or if finances were a major concern, should you use the credit. If the ticket was a fairly recent one (within the past 2 years) then the per day credit would actually be close to the current rates and that would make it easier to decide to apply the value towards a new ticket.

I have some old passes with leftover days that say they are only valid for entry to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Are those still good?

Yes. Have them converted to the magnetic strip ticket and you can still use them. Oh by the way, once you do the conversion your days can be used at any of the four major parks now.

I still have some of the old lettered tickets at home. Are they any good?

You can still turn in for credit the old E, D, C, B, A tickets from the 70's. They will only be worth what their value was back then...e.g. 50 cents, 25 cents, etc. You may want to hold onto these lettered tickets for a souvenir. They are probably worth more to Disney memorabilia collectors.

I have a 5 day park hopper with three days left on it. Can I add two more days to it so it will be a five day hopper again?

If it is one of the pre-2005 Park Hoppers, no you can't. You can apply the current dollar value of the ticket to a new MYW ticket but you cannot "add days" to an old pass. But if it one of the MYW tickets, then yes you can although what you will actually be doing is upgrading it to a 7 day MYW and then having two days marked as already used This assumes that you do the transaction within 14 days of first use. Otherwise, you are looking at the dollar value credit.

I have some tickets left over from my last trip to WDW and I think they have some park days left on them. How can I check what's left on these before I go so I can figure out how many days I still need to buy tickets for?

The only way that you can find out what is left on old tickets is in person at WDW. Any resort Lobby Concierge/Guest Services, or Guest Relations window can scan them and tell you what remains unused on them. The Disney Stores cannot tell you nor can you find out over the telephone.

I have two PHP tickets left with a total of 5 unused plus options between them. There are three of us going down to WDW this time. Can I use three of my plus options to get us all in?

No you can't. WDW requires each person to have their own admission ticket to enter any park or gated attraction. You can use your two tickets for two of the people but the third will have to get their own ticket.

So that means I can still use the tickets that I had from 2002 with no problem. Right?

Yes as long as they did not have any restrictions on them when you bought them. The only way that you can find out what is left on old tickets is in person at WDW. Any resort Lobby Concierge/Guest Services, or Guest Relations window can scan them and tell you what remains unused on them. The Disney Stores cannot tell you nor can you find out over the telephone.
