Hi Lauren! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for reaching out with your question. I completely understand why you'd ask this, especially when planning trips to different Disney destinations. It feels natural to hope that unused tickets could be transferred or credited elsewhere, so I'm really glad you checked before making any assumptions.
While
Disneyland Resort and
Walt Disney World Resort are both owned and operated by Disney, they function as two entirely separate systems when it comes to ticketing. Because of this, the value of unused
Disneyland tickets unfortunately can't be applied toward the purchase of
Walt Disney World tickets. The ticketing platforms, pricing structures, and admission rules are completely independent of one another, so there's no way to convert or transfer credit between the two resorts.
That said, the value of your unused Disneyland tickets isn't lost. You're more than welcome to hold onto them and apply them toward a future visit to Disneyland Resort instead. If your plans change or you decide to head back to California down the road, the value of those original tickets will still be waiting for you.
I know it's not the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it brings some peace of mind knowing that your tickets still have value, just at the resort they were originally intended for. If you ever need help figuring out how to use them for a future Disneyland visit or have questions about purchasing Walt Disney World tickets separately, I'd be happy to help guide you.
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
