Magic Your Way Ticket Question

[aladdin2007]

Hi everyone

My dad has a 3 day Magic Your Way ticket with no expiration. There are two days left on it. I was just wondering, can you use both days left in one day if you wanted to?
For instance next week we wanted to to do mgm for the morning/early afternoon (i mean hollywood studios sorry) and then in for late afternoon and for the rest of the evening go to Magic Kingdom.

So are you allowed to use it up that way? Or do they only let you use it once per day.

Thanks

Only if you have the Hopper option - if not, you're at one park per day

No, you cannot do that. The tickets are coded to allow a certain amount of DAYS, not admissions. If you have three days left on a ticket, you get admission for three days. If you have the park hopper option, you can come and go through any of the 4 parks all day on any given day. If you don't have the parkhopper option, you can come and go as many times as you please, for that one day, to and from the one park that you initially visited that day.

No matter how hard I try, or how fast I type, I never can seem to be the first one to reply to this type of thread! :hammer::ROFLOL:

Thanks everyone, so ok can we instead add on a park hopper option to the existing ticket? There are two days left on the ticket, would it still be worth it?

Adding park hopping is the same price regardless of how many days are left on the ticket. Whether or not $50 is worth it to you is a personal decision.

I just sit in front of the computer 24/7, eyes peeled and hitting refresh every 5 seconds - no problem

Upgrades of any kind (even with tickets that have the no expiration option) can only be done within 14 days of first use of the ticket. So if it has been longer than that since he first used it, no, he can not upgrade the ticket to a park hopper.

Thanks all. We just called on the phone and they did say we can add on the park hopping option for $52 (even with two days left on it) and even though we have had it for three months. Apparently you can do so up to 180 days. We just have to do it in person at the window.

They raised the price on park hopping, too??? Last I knew, it was only 35 bucks per ticket to add park hopping.

ANy chance this is a Florida resident ticket?

If it's not, I'll bet you a case of Mickey Bars that the CM you spoke to was incorrect. They haven't changed the Magic Your Way ticketing system ... NO ticket may be altered, added to, or upgraded after 14 days from the ticket's first use, regardless of whether or not the ticket has the No Expiration option.

Why should you trust some stranger from New Jersey versus the Disney cast member you spoke with? Because Disney call center cast members are NOT adequately trained beyond their primary function, which is to sell resort reservations, sell new tickets, and make dining and activity reservations. Disney call center CMs are quite famous, unfortunately, for giving wildly misinformed "answers," and I urge you to understand that the answer you got was one of those.

My concern is that you'll get to a ticket window, expect to pay to upgrade that ticket to a hopper, and then be told by the ticket window CM, a person who has been properly trained in Disney's ATS system, that you can't do the upgrade ... and then you'll be righteously perturbed that Disney gave you bad information, or that the ticket window CM was wrong.

I know this makes no difference at this point, but for future reference I think it's important to point out that if the ticket was meant to be used as one day for one trip and then the other two days on another trip, then buying the No Expiration option was a waste of money.

A 3-day non-expiring ticket costs $235.

A 1-day ticket costs $75 and a separate 2-day ticket costs $149. The total for those 3 days of admissions is $224.

In this case, buying the No Expiration option cost $11 more that buying tickets as-needed for each of the two visits.

 

[aladdin2007]

Yes it was a Florida Resident Ticket, will call again in a couple days before we go to double check.

 

[CleveRocks]

OK then ... ignore everything I just said, because Florida Resident tickets have different rules than regular MYW tickets.

The 3-day Play Pass adding the PH option for only $25 is an awesome deal.
