If you would like to bring a guest, they will need to purchase a valid theme park ticket and also have a Theme Park Reservation for the day they would like to visit a theme park. I hope you enjoy visiting the magic often with your Inspire Key!

Can I give them to someone else to use the remaining days? Please note that all Multi-Day Theme Park tickets are non-transferable and must be used by the same person. The person that uses the ticket for the very first time must use the ticket for its entirety.

While you aren't able to extend the expiration of your ticket, not all is lost. Wholly unused and expired Disneyland tickets can be used towards the purchase of a new theme park ticket. The new ticket purchase must be equal to or greater than the value of the original expired ticket.

Call Disney World or Disneyland customer service if you're unsure how old the park ticket is or if it's still valid. Disney World's number is 407-939-1289; Disneyland is 714-781-4565. A representative may ask you to email images of both sides of the ticket for further verification.

Proof of eligible residency, including a valid government-issued photo ID, is required for purchase and park admission. There is not currently an alternative acceptable proof of residency; you must have a government-issued photo ID that reflects the appropriate zip code.

For youths under the age of 18, there are two additional options for proving residency: Student identification card from a Florida school. Parent's proof of residency (youth must be accompanied by the parent at the time of purchase)

Minors will never need to show ID; Mouseketeers under age three are considered guests of Mickey, so there is no need to purchase admission for them either. If you wish to purchase an alcoholic beverage at the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, you may be asked to show identification.

First, the updated rule only applies to Annual Passholders. It does NOT apply to those with regular tickets. Second, it ONLY allows Passholders to enter the parks without a Park Pass after 2PM. So if you want to go to any park on any day sooner than 2PM, you WILL still need a Park Pass.

Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can now visit the theme parks after 2pm without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom.

What is the 2PM park hopping rule at Disney? ›

Park Hopper hours will start at 2 PM each day and end at the park's scheduled close time. Guests are now able to check the Park Hours calendar and the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date Park Hopper hours, as they could start earlier at a later date, depending on the day and park.

Pro Tip. Disney charges a $10-to-$25-per-person penalty for missing a reservation, or if you cancel on the day of the meal.

If you are a Magic Key holder, then it's important to make sure that you don't have more than three uncancelled reservations. After the third missed visit, you would be blocked from making a reservation for 30 days.

No-Show Policy

Loraine, as a general rule, Magic Key Passes cannot be transferred once the purchase is complete. The Guest assigned to that particular pass must be the one to use it for its entirety, even if it has not yet been used. If you'd like to double-check this policy, you can give the Magic Key Holders Line a ring.

Similar to the former annual pass program, each Magic Key is assigned to a specific person and cannot be transferred to someone else.

I'm happy to let you know that you do not need to worry about the name on your ticket matching your ID, unless that ticket is a special ticket, like the Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket.

However, in most cases for standard tickets, it is not strictly necessary for the name to match exactly with the Guest using the ticket. Once the ticket is activated, it becomes linked to a Guest and cannot be transferred to another Guest.

With a Disney base ticket, you're welcome to leave and re-enter the same theme park as many times as you like during the same day. So, if you want to visit the Magic Kingdom in the morning, go back to your hotel room for a nap, and return to the Magic Kingdom in the evening, then you do not need a Park Hopper ticket.

Can you use two Disney tickets on same day? ›

Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the two 1-day theme park tickets to enter two theme parks on the same day. However, if you desire to visit two theme parks in one day, you can add the park hopper option to an existing ticket.

Yes, although every airline's policy is different, it will almost always cost to transfer an airline ticket to another person. Sometimes, the cost of transferring a flight ticket to someone else can actually be more expensive than purchasing an entirely new ticket.
