1994 ticket used...

[WDWVolFan]

With the exception of 1 day tickets, UNUSED tickets never expire. (One day tickets have clearly marked expiration dates.)

Once started, most if not all tickets expire 14 days after first use, even if you didn't use all the admissions. The old no expiration option is no longer available.

Demagentized cards and bands are no problem. The codes on your ticket can be manually read and replaced. Magic bands just point to your ticket.

Think of it this way, once you buy a ticket and put on MDE, the bands and cards just point to the ticket. Even if the bands and cards are lost, the ticket still exists in cyberspace.

Until you put it in MDE, if you lose it you could be in trouble unless you thought to take a photocopy of the back of then ticket. Then they can replace it too.

So what does Disney see as beginning to use the admissions allotment?
If in my stay I have 5 days at the parks and use only 4, so I have 14 days from the first day I entered a park to use all 5 days? In other words, if I didn't use up all 5, the last one is gone after a couple of weeks?
Is that it?

Exactly. A five day pass expires after either all 5 days are used -or- 14 days have elapsed since the date of first use, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. First use is defined as using to enter a theme park or water park. When it is scanned, the clock starts.
