    Hello. If I purchase tickets through my Sam’s club for a specific date range and cannot attend. Would I be able to cancel and apply the tickets toward my Disney experience? Thank you

    Hello, Luis. Thanks for reaching out to us here at planDisney!

    So, I see that you're planning a trip from the West Coast to the East Coast to visit our version of the Disney magic! That's so exciting. I've had the pleasure of going to the Disneyland Resort in California three times, and I can't wait to go back. I would like to get there for the D23 Ultimate Fan Event this August. Fingers crossed! But regardless, you're in for a treat visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. I wonder what you'll think of our versions of some of the attractions at both parks! It reminds me a little of the Hundred Acre Wood. Each place has its own charm and personality, and discovering the little differences is half the fun!

    Since Sam's Club is a third-party vendor, you would be subject to their terms and conditions. When I looked at their policies, I found that they clearly state that there are no refunds, cancellations, or changes after an order has been placed. So I would make sure you're reading their current, most up-to-date policies and the fine print of the purchase you're making to help decide if it will best meet your needs. As Winnie the Pooh once said, "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." The same holds true when reviewing the policies of third-party ticket vendors before making a purchase.

    You'll probably also want to check out the Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World website to see if any deals or discounts might work for your trip. Those bookings are subject to Disney’s Terms and Conditions, which are usually a little more flexible. For example, when booking a vacation package (a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel room and theme park tickets purchased together), you can currently receive a full refund if you cancel up to 30 days before arrival, minus any applicable third-party fees. If you cancel between 2 and 29 days before arrival, you can receive a refund minus your deposit.

    Ticket-only purchases made through the Disney World website are nonrefundable and nontransferable, but in many cases, you can apply the value of unused tickets toward a new ticket purchase. If the new tickets cost more, you would pay the difference. If they cost less, you wouldn't receive a refund for the difference. I won't go through every detail of the cancellation policies here, but reviewing them can help you decide which option works best for your plans. After all, even Eeyore knows that sometimes plans change, so a little thought ahead of time can make a big difference.

    No matter how you decide to plan your visit, I hope your Walt Disney World adventure is filled with moments as sweet as a pot of honey in the Hundred Acre Wood. If you have any other questions, I'm more than happy to answer them!

    With a hunny-pot full of best wishes,
    Matt
