    Hello, a family friend purchased the 4 days summer tickets for me as a gift and I am wondering how I will be able to get the tickets. It says I will need their original credit card the day I go to get the tickets?

    Hey there, Joseph! I'm so glad you decided to stop by planDisney! It sounds like you've got a pretty great friend who's willing to gift you tickets to Walt Disney World Resort! I need more friends like that! I'd love to help you with your question! 

    The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is one of the best offers Disney has this summer. You get admission to one park per day, visiting each of the four theme parks. It is often the way I spend my Disney vacations, so I am thrilled to see that it is a current deal! These are date-based tickets and must be used within seven days of the selected start date. These particular tickets are only valid through September 26 of this year.

    When you purchase a Disney theme park ticket, you must assign it to an individual. If your friend assigned the ticket to you, it should appear in your My Disney Experience account. You do not need the form of payment used to purchase them. If the ticket is assigned to your friend, they will need to reassign the ticket. Here's how to do that: 

    • Your friend will then go to their "My Tickets and Passes" under their account, either on the website or using the app. 
    • Once they locate the ticket, they will select "Assign/Reassign Ticket" and select you as the new ticketholder. 
    Note: This process is only available if the ticket has not yet been used. Once even one day has been used on a ticket, it is no longer transferable

    If you have trouble setting up your account or linking as Family & Friends, or if your friend has any difficulty reassigning the ticket, call Walt Disney World Tickets and Hotel Reservations, and a Cast Member will be happy to help.

    Since you are going to be visiting all four theme parks, be sure to check out all the new experiences in each one of them. Disney Parks Blog has a great post about all the fun things to expect. The newly updated Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom Park is quite the upgrade! The handheld blasters definitely take it to the next level! And Zootopia: Better Zoogether is a great addition to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It's a 4D show in the Tree of Life Theater where you can see all your favorite friends from the hit movies, plus get a nice break from the heat! 

    I hope this is helpful, Joseph! It's going to be a great summer at Walt Disney World, and I'm so glad you are going to get to be a part of the magic! If you have any more questions, please come back and see us at planDisney
