Will my tickets expire?

Remaining days on any multi-day tickets purchased after January 2, 2005 may be used during a future visit to Walt Disney World only if the "NO EXPIRATION" option is purchased.

What does "non-transferrable" mean?

A Magic Your Way multi-day ticket is linked directly to the guest that purchased it through a Ticket Tag System. This is actually the same technology used for season and annual pass holders.

When a guest uses a ticket to enter a park they place their middle and index finger into the Ticket Tag device at the turnstile. Cameras measure and take an image of several points on those fingers. A number is assigned to that image, which is the information that links that guest to that ticket. So, whenever that guest uses that ticket and enters the park using the Ticket Tag System, that number will be recalled to allow them entrance.

Only guests 10 years of age or older use the Ticket Tag System. If a guest uses a child pass with a no expiration date to enter the park and then comes back when they are of adult ticket age, they are asked to upgrade the ticket to an adult one — at no extra charge — and then they go through the Ticket Tag process as if they are using this ticket media for the first time.

The Ticket Tag system also helps protect guests because only they can use that ticket. If it's lost or stolen, it's no good to another person. No actual fingerprints are taken by these cameras and there is no access to personal information through the Ticket Tag System.

Because tickets are non-transferrable, you cannot purchase a multi-day ticket expecting more than one family member to "share" the ticket on different days.

What if I loose my ticket?

If you loose your ticket and have the receipt, the ticket can easily be replaced. Or, if more than one ticket was purchased in the same transaction and someone else in that group still has their ticket, the ticket can be looked up and replaced.

What's a Fastpass?

If you feel like you're wasting time standing in those long theme park attraction lines, Disney's Fastpass is the answer!

Simply walk up to a Fastpass booth located near the entrance of participating attractions and slip your park ticket into the Fastpass machine. You will get your park ticket back along with a piece of paper with a time printed on it – that is the time you return to the attraction and walk right in without standing in a long line.

Once you have used your Fastpass to enter an attraction, you can get a new Fastpass time for another attraction. Be sure to check a park map for an up-to-date listing of Fastpass attractions.

It's that simple!

Of course, if you happen to like standing in line, all attractions continue to offer that option.
