Hi Nicolemarie,
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for stopping by with your question. I’m glad you’re thinking ahead about your tickets, and I’m happy to help you navigate this part of your planning.
When it comes to will-call tickets at
Walt Disney World Resort, the good news is there’s no separate expiration for picking them up. I double-checked the current policy and spoke to a Cast Member who confirmed that as long as the ticket itself hasn’t expired, it will remain available at will call until you’re ready to pick it up.
That said, the key thing to pay attention to is the expiration window for the actual ticket. For example, multi-day tickets are valid for a set number of days plus a few extra depending on the length of the ticket and when you selected for them to start, while single-day tickets are only valid for the specific date you selected at the time of purchase. You can find full details on the Walt Disney World website under the
FAQ for ticket expiration. Some good news: if a ticket has expired and hasn’t been used, the amount you originally paid can still be applied toward the purchase of a new ticket, as long as the new ticket costs the same or more than the original one.
If you’re not quite sure about your ticket’s expiration date or just want to double-check how much time you have, I recommend calling the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line listed in the
Help Center. A Cast Member there can look up your specific ticket and let you know exactly where things stand.
As you're getting ready for your visit, feel free to reach out with any other planning questions. Whether it's deciding how many park days to book, understanding the differences between ticket types, or just mapping out your park strategy,
I'm happy to help you think through the options.
Hope this helps you feel confident about what to expect when you arrive!
Brent
