Thursdays Tip

I know I have shared this tip before, but it's an important one...worth repeating. When you purchase your tickets--as soon as you have them in hand--make a copy of the very lengthy identification code (numbers and letters) found on the back side. This is your lifeline if you happen to lose a ticket while on vacation. You can take a digital picture if your camera is good enough (mine isn't), or you can type the code into your cell phone for safe keeping, or you can simply hand copy it onto a piece of paper. Just make sure that you don't put the code in the same place as your tickets--you don't want to lose both at the same time.

So what happens when you lose a ticket? I just so happen to know because it has, in fact, happened to us. Simply go to Guest Relations and give them the code. They'll do some fancy typing on their fancy computers and within minutes you'll have a replacement ticket!

Here's another helpful tip: tickets that are purchased together in a single transaction are actually linked together in the Disney computer system. (You may notice that when your family enters and re-enters the Parks with multi-day tickets, it doesn't really matter which member of your party uses which ticket.) So, if you neglect to follow the tip above, and not everyone in your party loses their tickets, you can simply give the Cast Member in Guest Relations a ticket from another member in your party, and they can do the same fancy magic typing and produce a replacement ticket.

  1. The best thing is to email the numbers to your self this way you don't have to keep track of the paper you wrote it on. Most hotels have public computers or if you have a smart phone you can access it that way also.

  2. We've gone so far as to email them to a family member at home--that way, if we lose a smart phone, we can still get them from an outside source. We are much more careful since our little ticket fiasco!
