Hi there, Jimmy,
In most cases, a wholly-unused ticket may be used by another Guest, even if the name linked to the ticket does not match the new ticket holder. Once a ticket is activated at a theme park entrance, a photo is taken of the Guest using the ticket and it becomes non-transferable from that point on. If desired, the name linked to a
Disney eTicket can be changed by contacting a Cast Member at the
Tickets phone line.
Changing an existing
theme park reservation is also possible. But I can understand how the prospect of losing a reservation for everyone might cause some nervousness. On the "
My Theme Park Reservations" page, you will see a "Cancel Reservation" link. When you click on that link, it will ask you to select the tickets or passes you wish to include in the cancellation. So it is possible to cancel the reservation associated with only a subset of the tickets on the reservation. Such modifications to an existing reservation may be made until 11:59 PM the day before the reservation.
Yes, an unused ticket may be used at a later date up until its
expiration by visiting the "
My Theme Park Reservations" page to book a new park reservation for that ticket. If a ticket goes unused on a reserved date and the reservation was not canceled by 11:59 PM the day before, a new reservation may be made for that ticket after the unused reservation has automatically cleared out at the end of the day. If necessary, most wholly-unused, standard tickets may still be useful even after they expire. A wholly-unused, expired ticket can be upgraded to a current ticket at a Disneyland Resort main entrance ticket booth, after which, a new theme park reservation may be booked for that ticket.
Phew! That’s a lot of information to process! I think we’re all going to need a break after sorting through all that. Well, I hope we can all enjoy the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort to relax and renew after a year of hard work. You’ve earned it Jimmy!
Have a magical time!
