You would have had to add the no expiration date option at an additional charge.
The no expiration date option has been gone since like February 2015.
You can still use your no expiration date tickets if you have them.
My parents still have one day left that they will likely use for MK during their next trip to Florida.

I'm so disappointed by this 2018 change. Totally changes the way I used to visit. Just another cash gragrab. I'm planning to send an email that will be promptly ignored

I visit from the UK so get 14 or 21 day tickets anyway
Your tickets automatically last 14 days? That's great, as it should be.
I'm not giving Disney 400+ dollars to get what used to be standard. Spending less days in the parks now. They should let us all buy British tickets! Ha!

UK tickets are for 7, 14 or 21 days of entry to all theme parks and water parks including park hopping. A 14 day ticket is £399 (about $523), so about the same as a US 10 day ticket with park-hopping, meaning we get four free park days (and free water park access).
Realistically as I spend some time at Universal and SeaWorld/Busch I only use 10 days of the Disney ticket anyway.

I think it was later then that. Up until a few years ago I was able to buy 10 day tickets and every ticket, regardless of the number of days, was no extra charge for being non-expiring... they all were. I don't remember the exact date when the stopped selling them to last forever, but, it wasn't 2005, I'm sure. Like I said, I no longer buy tickets ahead of time and usually will just buy two days, neither of which start counting down until I actually use them. I did have to say the week I was planning to be there, but that was it. If I crossed over into a different pricing, I just had to pay the difference. Does anyone else feel robbed because if we pay for 4 days and only can use three that Disney gets to keep my money when I didn't get anything for it, but, if by chance one of my days goes into a new area I have to pay the extra even if I still only use three. I guess it is like everything else in the world, if you're rich and powerful, you can steal and get away with it and get congratulated on being extremely profitable.

Just how many negatives can you put in one sentence?
Not sure what you were trying to say here.

@Jon81uk wasn't saying they stopped selling them in 205. He was saying they stopped automatically being non-expiry at that date.
You could pay a premium after that date to make them non-expiry tickets. So your recollection is incorrect, you did pay a premium for them after 2005.
This is from the website FAQs:
Walt Disney World Resort continues to honor all unexpired theme park tickets with remaining admission days.
However, be aware that unless you purchased the No Expiration Option, theme park tickets purchased after 2004 expire 14 days after their first use. While the No Expiration Option is no longer available, if you have previously purchased theme park tickets with the No Expiration Option, your tickets will still be honored.

OK, I must have forgotten. They were reasonably priced enough so I just figured that it was worth it and didn't give it another thought. Sorry, I was relying on my memory of 15 years ago. Probably not a wise thing to do at my age.@Jon81uk wasn't saying they stopped selling them in 205. He was saying they stopped automatically being non-expiry at that date.

Memory...I don't remember what that is.
True story, I prepare dinner during the week and have it hot and ready on the table when my wife gets home, except for Wednesdays, when we just pick up something after Wednesday evening church service.
Just came home and ate cold dinner I prepared earlier because I totally forgot it was Wednesday.

I spent all day today thinking it was Thursday. I was wrong!
