Can I use old Disney World Tickets?

I want to know if we can use some old Disney World Tickets? I have 3 Four Day Super Passes that I purchased on our last trip to Disney (approximately 9 years ago). We only used 3 of the 4 days on the 4 day pass, and I recall being told that we could use the final day on the pass during our next trip to Disney. Is this true, or did I dream this?

An old Disney World Ticket

All old paper tickets with days left will still be good

Dad's Dreams Come True Answer

Years ago the answer was Disney tickets never expire. It was a big selling point with the Super Passes. Buy them today and use them anytime in the future.

Dad's Disney World Ticket page

While that's not true anymore. In 2005 Disney changed ticket policies and added a never expire option. Tickets purchased before 2005 never expire. Tickets purchased after 2005 expire 14 days after first use unless the never expire option was added.

In 2013, Disney discontinued the never expire option. Now all tickets expire 14 days after first use.

How to exchange old Disney World Tickets

You will have to trade your old paper or plastic tickets for the current tickets. If you have MagicBand you can add them to the MagicBand. If you don't you will be given a plastic ticket in exchange. The good thing about exchanging is you can use the new ticket media at FastPass locations.

To exchange old Disney World tickets, go to a ticket window at the parks, to a concierge desk at a Disney hotel or to Guest Relations at Disney Springs. Present the old tickets and they will be exchanged.

Find out how many days left

To find out how many days are left on the ticket you either have to go to a ticket window or you can email ticket.usage@disneyworld.com to see what is remaining. Check out the Disney Ticket Remaining page for more details.

Dad's Bottom Line

You might have been dreaming but at Disney World - dreams do come true. Your old tickets may still be good. If they were purchased before 2005 and even later if you added the never expire option. If you have old tickets it doesn't hurt to check them out.

5 days left on a 6 day no expiration
by: Rob

I have 5 days left on a 6 day pass bought in 2000 with the no expiration option. If I trade it in for the new plastic ticket with the same amount of days, does the new ticket retain the same ability to use 1 day now, another day a year from now, and the last 3 days further into the future like the original ticket was supposed to function like? Or do I basically transform it into a ticket that needs to be used up in 14 days?

Dad Answers

This is one you probably ought to contact Disney on to be sure. My feeling is they ought to make good on the never expire. But that's just what I feel.

Old ticket
by: Patricia

I have a ticket from the 90's,question is....
Will I have to pay difference?
Thank you

Dad Answers

If you have days available on that ticket you can trade it for a new ticket for the same number of days.

If you try to use it to upgrade or add more days, you only get the dollar value at the time of purchase.

Trade it for a new one.

old tickets
by: Mike

We went to DW in 1987. Purchased tickets at Best Western and went to park for three days all was okay until we went to Epcot. We were hustled off to security and told tickets were counterfiet. Park was nice enough to give us three day passes (6). We couldn't use them and returned home. Alas my parents died and when cleaning out house we came upon these tickets. Are they still good after all these years?
How do I get new ones if its possible?

Dad Answers

Mike, take the tickets to a ticket window at one of the parks or to the concierge desk at a Disney hotel and they will be able to convert them if they are good (and they should be).

Can I use 2004 tickets from Mom & Mother-in-law?
by: Robin

My husband & I purchased 4 day hopper tickets to Disney World in 2004 for our 2 young children, our mothers, & ourselves. Our mothers did not use 2 of the days, so each has 2 days left on the tickets. I have read that the finger scanners were not in effect until 2005. However, there are magnetic strips on the tickets. Will Disney be able to tell that these were our mothers’ tickets? We would like to use them ourselves this summer. Thanks in advance for your help!

Dad Answers

You will be able to use them. Just take them to a ticket window or a concierge desk at a Disney hotel and exchange them for current tickets. There's no way for Disney to know.

Using old WDW ticket in Disneyland
by: Laura

Hi there -
I’ve heard rumors that if you have an unexpired leftover WDW ticket, you can take it to the turnstiles at Disneyland and they will give you a ticket for one day at Disneyland. I was wondering if it is indeed still true, as my dad has an unused day leftover from a multi day WDW pass from 1994. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Dad Answers

Laura, that practice ended in 2013. You can no longer use Walt Disney World tickets at Disneyland.

Bought 5 exchange certificates - need to sell 2, possible?
by: Anonymous

Hi,
Were bought Disney exchange certificates during the Canadian 35 % off sale last spring (we are Canadian). My in-laws were to come with us, but now have to back out for health reasons. Can I sell two exchange tickets to another Canadian? Do they expire? Can I use the value towards another service? Help... I am stuck with 2 6 day park hopper tickets worth 1000$ CAD.

Monika

Dad Answers sorta

Monica, I can't find an "official" answer for you. My guess is that it's probably not a good idea. Canadian's must produce identity proof when they activate tickets and if the names don't match I think there might be problems.

Linking old tickets for fast pass?

My husband has an old ticket from 2003, park hopper with 3 days left. My Disney Experience website won't recognize the ticket. Any way we can book fast passes in advance with this ticket? We emailed Disney and all they told us was the amount of days left on the ticket.

My guess is you can't link that ticket. You will have to exchange it for a current ticket before you will be able to make FastPass+ reservations.

Hi there, Its 4:20 PM here, i just found in an old box that was in my closet with a load of Disney World Tickets.. A,B,C,D and E..There is no date but they look from mid to late 1970s how can i find out what each ticket is worth in credit towards a new ticket? thanks for your time RVD

Dad Answers

Rob,

Disney will give you the value of the ticket at the time it was purchased. How much is that? Here's what individual tickets cost in 1972 through 1982 when the ticket were phased out -

A Ticket - $0.10

B Ticket - $0.25

C Ticket - $0.50

D Ticket - $0.75

E Ticket - $0.90

Full ticket books are worth around $5.

You might check. Selling them on eBay might make you more money.

Expires date on Disney ticket
by: Niceb

My purchased Disney tickets have date of Sept 2016 are they valid to use in May 2017.

Dad's Answer

There are two possible answers here. This sounds crazy, but it could be yes and it could be no. It depends. Have you activated the tickets? Have they been used at the parks?

If they have been activated, used at the parks, then the answer is no they won't be valid unless you purchased the never expire option and they still have days available. They expire 14 days after first use.

Here's the direct quote from the Walt Disney World website - "Walt Disney World Resort continues to honor all unexpired theme park tickets with remaining admission days."

14-day ticket expiration
by: Steven

The folks at Disney Ticket Inquiries are about equally divided regarding the meaning of Disney's 14-day expiration policy. Do multi-day tickets expire 14 days after their first day of use (so if I first used a ticket on April 1, it would be good for fourteen more days, which would be April 15) or 14 days including their first day of use?

The wording is actually different on My Disney Experience depending on which FAQ you check. Does anyone have the categorical answer to this? And, should the longer-expiration opinion turn out to be wrong, would Guest Relations be likely to add on that extra final day if I present them with print-outs of information which contradicted the actual policy?

Dad's Answer

Ashley, that might be a little problematic. If I remember right, the plastic tickets had a name on them. If the names on the tickets don't match the names on your ID they won't exchange the ticket.

There isn't any problem with the finger reader because that didn't start until 2005ish.

My friend is offering me a military park hopper pass from 2003. It has one day left on it. I am not military. Can I use it?

The "official" answer is no. All Disney tickets are only to be used by the purchaser.

The "real" answer is, maybe. I don't remember exactly what the 2003 tickets looked like. Is there a name on it? If so, you might be challenged to produce an ID. Especially since it's a military ticket.

Disney World 2001 Passes
by: Anonymous

Hi there,
my parents have 2, 3 day passes with them (with barcode swipe) from 2001. But my parents can't use them anymore and my husband and I are planning on going soon. in the signature section there is no name on there but not sure if it was assigned in the past. Would we be able to use it or do they check the names on it?

Dad Answers

Here's what I would do. I'd take them to a Disney ticket booth and ask to exchange them for new tickets. EXCHANGE, not use them to upgrade.

What's the worst that can happen? Disney asks you for ID and you have to say they were your parents tickets who tragically died in a plane crash or some crazy story (don't do that, just tell them the truth if they ask). The worst they can say is no.

1988 tickets for the Magic Kingdom

I have 1 Adult 3 day pass with 1 day left on it and 2 children's with 1 day left. Does this mean that I could take my grandchildren for the Day and not have to pay. I do recall t hat I was told they would be honored anytime. I never thought that 28 years ago I would still have them but I found them in my jewelry box.

Dad's Answer

Rosemary, yes, you will be able to use them. Just take them to one of the ticket windows and trade them in. Just trade them in for a one day entry. Don't try to upgrade them to multi day tickets (Disney only credits you original value which won't be worth much.)

Wish I could find something like that in Mrs. Mom's jewelry box.

Magic KeyCoupons

My mom and I were cleaning out all her old stuff and found a booklet that has three Magic Key Coupons in it. Is this anything worth trade in value for today's tickets?

Rebecca, Disney will give you face value for the coupons which isn't very much. You can't trade them in for anything because they aren't for admission. Your best bet is to sell them to collectors on eBay or something.

Any experiences with Commemorative tickets from 1982? Do I need to change them for entrance tickets at the park or can I change them in advance to avoid lines? And can i combine it with fast passes?

Dad's Answer

You should exchange them (at either a Disney ticket booth or at the concierge service at a Disney Hotel for park admission. Don't ask for credit for a new ticket (Disney will only give you the price you paid for them for a credit), just exchange them for the same number of day tickets.

disney land pass
by: jess

hi i have a eticket what got used on the 22nd july 15 but it says can be used up till next year does this mean i can still use it even tho it got scaned on the day I visited the park

Dad's Answer

Jess, if I understand you correctly, you got a ticket that you used already. If it's a one day ticket then you've already used it and you won't be able to use it again. If it's a multi-day ticket and you activated it, you have 14 days to use all the days on the ticket.

The one year means you have one year from purchase to activate it. You don't have to use it immediately. Once you've used the days on the ticket it can't be reused.

Dad's Answer

You can upgrade the child ticket to an adult ticket (the "kids" will need an adult ticket). You will have to pay for the difference between the purchase price of the ticket and the current adult ticket cost. There is no extra fee for upgrading Disney tickets.

by: Mrs. Renita Henderson

Vintage tickets are still good if days left. They exchange them for the new tickets with the magnetic strip.

If you have tickets with windows that need to be stamped, then you have to count how many times stamped, as some stamped the ticket crooked, and or in another day window.

To check other tickets you email a copy of the front and the back of you tickets and a copy of a photo id to : ticket.usage@disneyworld.com . They will email you back in a few days.

How do I check how many days are left on the tickets
by: T Izzo

I need to know how to find out how many days I have left on the 5 day world hopper passes. They were bought in the 90's forgot I had them. They are the old paper tickets, No Serial Number, No Exp date as far as I can tell.
Looking for some help, would like to surprise my daughter with a trip and if I find out before I go at least I'd know. Don't want to go and get shut out at the door.

Thanks!!

Dad's Answer

You're old paper tickets are still good. You should be able to look at the front of the ticket and see ho many days are left on the ticket. The dates they were used should be stamped on the front of the ticket and if there are days left there should be empty spaces.

You are correct, those do not have expiration dates. DO NOT trade those in for upgraded tickets. If you upgrade them they only give you credit for the cost. You an use the days left available on the tickets.

1993 use anytime passes
by: Anonymous

I found two partially used WDW use any time passes in my mothers files (she passed away in 1994 so I can't ask her about them). They say the admission has to be used by the same person but I don't know whose they were. My parents and my 4 siblings went to WDW in 1993 but there's no name on the tickets. Will I be able to use them? Would they be good anywhere other than Magic Kingdom?

Dad Answers

Those will probably be good in the Magic Kingdom or Epcot and maybe Hollywood Studios. It was around that time that Disney put a ban on old tickets being used a the new parks.

There is no way for Disney to know who the ticket was for, so they would be good. Don't exchange them for new tickets (they only give the purchase price). Take them to Guest Services and say you admission to the parks for the days left on the tickets.

That one I'm not so sure about. The actual value of the 50's tickets is about $5. Your tickets have a value today of around $100. I don't know if there is any collector value in 25th anniversary tickets.

Old tickets from the 50s
by: JesustheLionofJudah

Hi, will DisneyLAND honor my 3 tickets from the 50s which have no exp date and are full admission tickets? In other words, if I show up at the gate with my family and these tickets, will they let us into Disneyland for the day at no additional charge?

Dad's Answer

You might check and see if you can sell them. Some of those kind of tickets are very collectible and will bring a nice price.

I do think Disney might honor the tickets with one day entrance. They do honor all valid entry tickets from any date. If they are the A,B,C,D,E type tickets, Disney will give you the face value. Those are definitely worth more to sell as collectors items.

It doesn't hurt anything to give it a try.

You've got to love Disney when they treat you like that.
They are so organized too. They had a copy of all the old paper tickets filed away in photo albums. They gave me full credit for unused days on 5 tickets which probably saved me $500. A good reason to always buy tickets with no expiry date (and then know where you filed them)

Can adult tickets perchased more than 15years ago be used by an adult other than the original person it was perchased for? Are they transferable to new spose???

It depends if they were activated using the biometric scan (the finger thing). That's about the time Disney implemented the finger scan. Go to guest services, and tell them your story. The worst thing they can say is no.

Old ticket book from 1978
by: Anonymous

I have an absolutely complete WDW ticket book from 1978, admission, transportation and 10 "magic key coupons"(good for a through e attractions). Never used. Can I even trade for a current admission to WDW?

Dad's Answer

You'd probably make more selling it on eBay or Craigslist. Disney only gives the original value for old tickets on a new ticket. That book probably cost $5 or so. If it's in good condition a collector would probably give you more than that.

by: Anonymous

I have a one park FL res ticket from 15 yrs ago and no I am not a FL res. Any chance I can still use it?

Dad's Answer

If you were a Florida resident when you purchased the ticket is should work. I'd suggest you call Disney and ask. Here's the phone number - (407) 939-1289.

1978 Disney World tickets still useable
by: Anonymous

I have an incomplete book of tickets left from 1978 the last time I was at WDW can they be used?

Dad's Answer

Not really. They can be traded for a current ticket, but you will only get the original value (not very much). You might get more selling them on Ebay.

old ticket use

2 part question:

Is there an up charge on the tickets - when you use them ( charging the difference between prices of then & now) and

Can you pay an up charge to have the more current parks added ?

Dad's 2 part answer

First, there is no extra charge for using them. If you were to upgrade them, you would have to pay the difference, but you can use old tickets anytime.

If you have really old tickets, you will have to upgrade them to include the newer parks.

Can we use old tickets for the water parks as well, or are water park tickets different from theme park tickets?

Dad's Answer

If you still have a usable ticket, Disney will honor them. The reason I say usable, some of the old water park tickets expired 14 days after 1st use.

ONE more questions

Hey it kind of helped but i was stil puzzled so lets say i have tickets from 2007 and its 2012 do you think we could still get into disney with these tickets?

Dad's Answer

Yes, you can. If you have a park hopper from 2007 that has 3 days on it, you can get into the parks for 3 days. Simple.
