Can you sell/give away your hopper passes?

[Walt Disney1955]

Okay, here is the thing. Up at home you can buy the Disney hopper passes at CAA (think AAA just in Canada). It is legit, I've done it before. No issues.

We all know that a 7-day pass isn't a whole lot more than a 3-4 day pass. I know that you have to use them within 14 days unless you pay a little extra for a "no expiration" clause.

So here's the thing, what if you use 4 days of a 7 day hopper pass? There is no expiry date. Can you give them to someone else? Or does it have to be you? Do they take the whole fingerprint thing seriously at the gate? They never did before as long as you had a hopper pass.

Anyway, just wondering.

Once you use them they are non transferable.

Two things... First, No, once used it cannot be transferred legally. Also I am having a problem understanding what you are saying when you say "if you use 4 days of a 7 day hopper pass. There is no expiry date." Unless you have purchased the non-expiration add on, it will expire in 14 days from the first usage. That may be what you are saying, but, it isn't real clear.

That brings me to ... Second, it is hardly a "little extra" to add the "no expiration" clause. It in most cases almost doubles the cost of the ticket now.

It isn't actually very much more to add the "no expiration" clause. However, I did read some more fine print and it claims the tickets are non-transferable.

I just remember my dad buying some unused hopper passes back in the 1990s from someone and he claimed we could use them in the park, and we could. Wisely enough, at the end of what we thought was our last day at a Disney park my dad went to City Hall and found out there was one extra day on all of them.

Anyway, just was wondering.

From Mousesavers - for a 7 day ticket it's $266.25 to add, no matter how many days are left on the ticket. You can't just add the option for the remaining days.:

Yes, back in "those days" you could.

Today and for a while now, we have biometrics and MDE.

Once a ticket has been used to the assigned party, transfers can't occur.

Since a 7 day park hopper goes for $408.00 then add non-expiration for another $266.00, I'd have to say that it is a pretty significant difference. And remember that is only one ticket. Multiply that by whatever number of tickets you are buying. The sentence highlighted in red is very important to know.

Your Dad may have bought unused hopper passes back in the 1990's. (there is a good chance that a lot of us did) And again it depends on whether or not he bought them for the remaining days or if they were new tickets never used. In the 1990's or at least most of it, they didn't have a good system of checking it, they do now. If he bought them totally unused, then that is not a problem, even partially used was not really a problem in the early 90's. Until fairly recently, all tickets purchased were non-expirational. They were good for life, be they hoppers or regular non-hopper passes.

Couple things, with the old Key Card when you walked in the gates Disney did not scan your finger prints. It was the size of your finger and the amount of pressure you used, that's why all the CMs told everyone to push down real hard each time. It really didn't matter though because I used my fiancé's card and she used mine a few times and our hands are a lot different in size. Next thing, since WDW switched to these Magic Bands I don't remember having to scan my finger anymore (last trip was March so I could be wrong) but even of they did its still not your finger print. The inside of your Magic Band has your name on it and once they scan it I'm sure they have access to your information but I don't see how they would know who is the original owner of the band. I mean as long as the names (if checked) made sense when matched to who ever was wearing them, all should be fine.

With all that being said, your not technically suppose to give away/sell left over tickets but I'm sure it could still work. They have resell places advertising up and down I92 right outside of WDW property.

It probably would be much easier, but not foolproof, if the tickets were current and have the RFID chip in them already. If not you have to go to the ticket kiosk or guest services to get that one voided and issue a current ticket. That is where the plot gets a lot thicker.
