Hi Marilyn!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm Kristen, and I'm happy to be your planEAR today!
Oh, dear! I'm so sorry for all of the ticket trouble you and your son have had. I can only imagine how bummed out he must have been to not get to have that Disney day with his class. However, I hope that you get to go as a family and you can make some special memories at
The Happiest Place on Earth with your favorite Mouseketeer!
I can absolutely help point you in the right direction. Yes, the
Theme Park Admission Ticket that you have did expire, but in date-only; the
value of what you paid for the ticket will remain until it's applied toward a future pass. You'll want to
call the helpful Disneyland Resort Ticketing Cast Members at (714) 781-4636 and they can apply the funds already spent on the ticket you have to a current
Theme Park Admission Ticket of equal or greater value. You might even be able to upgrade your ticket to the special
Summer 2022 California Resident Ticket offer!
Do note that
1-Day Theme Park Admission Tickets operate on a tiered schedule, so if you think you might want to exchange the old ticket for a new 1-day admission, pay attention to the
use dates. One more change that has been introduced post-pandemic is the need to make
Park Pass Reservations for each of your Disney days. Park Pass Reservations kind of tell Mickey and his pals which park you plan on playing in and on which days. Park Pass Reservations open for booking 120 days in advance, with more popular dates booking up solid about a month or two out. hEARs the
Park Pass Reservation Calendar, which might also be helpful when it comes to deciding on the type of ticket you'd like to swap for your expired one.
I hope this helped to clEAR things up and stEAR you in the right direction in getting rebooked for some fun in the SoCal sun! Be sure to follow the
official planDisney Panel Instagram account for even more tips and tricks. And if you have any more
