PyroKinesis Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 http://www.upworthy.com/with-one-day-left-on-a-22-year-old-disney-world-ticket-this-woman-made-the-most-of-it She's not sure why her family kept the ticket this long, but immediately she wondered if it would still get her into the park. On her next visit to Orlando, she headed over to Disney on a whim, just to see what would happen. To Chelsea's surprise, the Disney World staff told her the ticket was still valid! "I just went up to the window. I wasn't expecting to spend the day there; I didn't bring anything (or anyone) with me," she said. "They were pretty surprised. The girl working there was younger than me and said, 'Wow, I've never seen one this old before!' She called her manager over and they were super nice about it." 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That is absolutely amazing! Wow, imagine the look on her face when they told her that it was still valid. Well just like their slogan says "Where Dreams Come True!" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VekomaRulz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 What's nice is too that if you have leftover days from a ticket when you were a kid and even if you are over age 9 when going back to Disney and go to guest services, they will exchange ticket for an adult ticket with the same amount of leftover days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That's insane. 22 years is a long time. Very surprising. Good for her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Very cool! Unfortunately, the "No Expiration" option that made this possible is no longer offered when purchasing tickets. (It used to be available as an additional charge, just like adding "Park Hopping" or "Waterpark Fun & More" options.) Now, they expire 14 days after the first use. So 22 years from today, a ticket from May 2015 will be met with a closed gate. Especially if it's peak season! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 22 years from today, a ticket from May 2015 will be met with a closed gate. Especially if it's peak season! The current ticket does expire 14 days after first use. But you can wait 22 years for that first use. The ticket in question did not need a no expire option. It used to be that all tickets never expired. The no expire option has been removed and later came back. Disney tickets keep changing and the only constant is they seem to always keep getting more expensive. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 My brother in law is also a DVC member. He would buy the max days (usually 14) and would use them over a 2-3 year period. Not any more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I have a park hopper ticket in my pocket from 1999. It has a day left on it.... That's funny, I have a park hopper from 1999 too. Does anyone know if there's there any way to tell if it has any days left on it other than going to the gate? I'm visiting Orlando again in October to visit that resort up I-4, but would be interested to know if I could bring this park hopper along and catch rides on some of my favorites at the World. Update: Called Disney, I'm out of luck as far as theme park admissions go, but apparently there is still a possibility of having credit available for water park admission? As much as I'd love to return to Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon, I think I'll just be staying at my resort for this trip. (Staying at the brand new Sapphire Falls at Universal, pretty excited!). Got a good week of Disney last summer. I'll return when Star Wars land opens. Edited May 19, 2016 by Delirium13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
