This question comes from Carolyn, who asks:
I have entry cards from the passed visit to Disney World…it says that I can use it later…can I use it this trip? The card is eight years old
Carolyn, thanks for reading and for your question. Yes, you can use this ticket. On my trip in October, a friend used a ticket from 1994! Since Disney switched over to their new system in 2005, you can’t use a park ticket unless you use it within fourteen days o f your first entry or if it had a no expiration option on it. In your case, your ticket was issued prior to the upgrade, so you may use all the days left on your card.
Here are a couple of little quirks you’ll want to be aware of: You can’ t add days to these tickets the way you would to a regular Magic Your Way ticket within the fourteen day time frame. The value of this ticket is not today’s value but the value when you purchased it. If you want to apply this ticket to a new park ticket (say, add your one day to a 6-day ticket), you won’t get today’s value ($82) but rather the value of that ticket in 2005. You’ll have to do the math to see if adding the value to a new ticket or just using it for that day’s entry is worth it. I suspect it will be the former.
Hope this helps!
