Thank you so much for maintaining this thread!! For years I followed and relied on Cheshire Figments advice & knowledge on tickets and I appreciate your willingness to continue to help us with this complicated subject!
Small background ......from approx 2007 to 2015 we would travel several times a year to WDW. Some years with AP's, others with WDW travel pkgs, old tickets etc. I have bridged multiple types of tickets in the past. In the last several years we tended to have more trips revolving around seasonal events: a long weekend for F&W and MNSSHP, and around Thanksgiving for Christmas. We didn't always have a longer trip in a given year. After the unpredictability of our trips combined with HUGE AP price increases, I started utilizing non-expiring Hoppers w/Water park tix. These were VERY expensive but were a great option for our now more common short trips, which may consist of a separate entrance party ticket, and only 1 or 2 days of other WDW park hopping. Fast forward to Feb. 2015, and with 2 days notice a frantic purchase from UCT of 2 Adult & 1 Child non expiring 10 day tix, with all the bells and whistles. It was money I wasn't prepared to spend at that time , or I may have purchased even more of them.
As a result of the non expiring tickets no longer being offered, and soaring WDW admission prices (AP s have doubled), I have been very stingy using my non Expiring tickets. Some trips we only use party tickets, hang at resort, and maybe do Seaworld (Super Grover APs). Now this is nice, but I miss our old trips , but Disney may have priced us out....ok mini rant over...
My problem.....due to my stingy use of tickets, my then child, now Disney Adult, has not used one of the non expiring tickets, we are still working on using another up. I know that the partially used ticket can be corrected, but what do I do about the ticket that hasn't been used yet? I dont mind paying to upgrade it, but can I even do that since they dont offer this type of ticket anymore? Will they only credit me towards an Adult expiring ticket?
The bummer is, if they had been hard tickets I probably would have managed them better, using each ticket, but on the virtual Magic Band system, originally it was a chore to find a cast member to reprioritize correctly. Also probably due to fact we didn't always use them, instead using old Dinning plan tix, party only...etc.
So sorry for such a long winded question ...I used to know the ins & outs , now I'm out of the loop.
Thanks again for all of your assistance to the Disboards....it is VERY appreciated!!!
