Hey John-
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I love planning for the future and the fact that you are buying tickets with a No Expiration Option and an annual pass in future makes me want to sing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah!
I was just at Epcot yesterday and purchased a 10-day Magic Your Way No Expiration Option ticket as my annual pass is expiring. The best way to manage these tickets is to use the 10-day Magic Your Way ticket card to exit and enter the theme parks until you become a
Passholder. When you get your Passholder MagicBand you will use this convenient technology to gain entrance in to the theme parks for that year instead of 10-day Magic Your Way ticket. The next year you will switch back to your Magic Your Way ticket with No Expiration Option card until all the days are used. There are occasions when multiple tickets can be linked to the same MagicBand. You may contact a Cast Member at 407-939-7679 to see if this can be done with your situation.
As a safety measure, I would always photograph or photocopy the identification number on the back of every ticket and take it with you to store in your resort room. Guest Relations is able to reissue a misplaced ticket if you can provide the ticket number and valid personal identification.
Have fun the next few yEARS in the “Most Magical Place on Earth”.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories!
