Is there a discount offered on themed events? Or just the regular PH tix?
The 25% discount only applies to park tickets, not separate hard ticket events.

Has anyone found out any information about upgrading these tickets to an AP? I was wondering if they bridge the tickets or if they won't be able to be upgraded.
Does anybody know if every person in the booking has to be physically present or could I take all our passports to guest services & activate them while others hang out around the pool?
Is the Cdn ticket offer available to add to FD?
What I don't like is having to pay exchange rates on our cc for each and every meal (or having that much cash).
We would also consider switching to CR if a room only pin was sent our way (although we'd miss the kitchen and our view!) so we could take advantage of the ticket offer and a RO discount.
Have I completely messed up my Disney math?
I am planning to activate these tickets at guest services at DS on our arrival night. Does anybody know if every person in the booking has to be physically present or could I take all our passports to guest services & activate them while others hang out around the pool?
Nope, all Free Dining offers need you to buy tickets as well (at full pop). The rumours of what the actual plan you will get is pretty measly, i believe only quick service even at Moderate.
If you attach a credit card to your Magic Band (don't think you have any choice here, correct me if I'm wrong??) you can charge all of your meals to your room and then you'll only have one charge to your card when you check out. We will go to the front desk on the last night and apply whatever cash we have leftover to the bill. Make sense?
I would jump on the current ticket offer (either thru Airmiles if you have or if not, you can head to CAA offices and purchase the discounted tickets) since the tickets don't expire and the sale ends May 20th. Last year the discounts for winter didn't drop till mid June, not sure what months that covered though.
You will probably come out ahead of Free Dining with a room discount and the CDN ticket offer. (and yes, Disney math now requires a special degree!)
YES, you can do all of those things. If you have a room booked (directly thru Disney) and have your own tickets you can call and have them create what is referred to as "a ticket-less package" by paying for the dining plan at full pop. Depending on the make up of your family you need to do even more Disney math because you might find that paying for your meals strictly OOP, without any Dining Plan, can be cheaper. Every family is different, but if you have found before that you had credits not used, ended up feeling like you were either wasting food, eating more than you wanted or ended up trying to spend lots of snack credits before you left, you might be better off just paying for all of your meals OOP.Ok...I think I get it now. We can do the following:
BLT cash ressie (and maybe hope for a pin code), Cdn ticket offer, and pay OOP for a dining plan if we choose...and probably still come out ahead of FD!!!
We're travelling with my family and my parents. Is it possible to have two credit cards on the Magic Bands? Ie one for the 4 of us and one for my parents?
Quick question, I bought the Canadian tickets on a MYW Package (everything is linked on MDE, including my resort and tickets are assigned to each member of my family), do I specifically need to visit a Guest Relations or can I just activate my tickets at check-in (ASSP) ?
I'm in the same boat as you. I bought them as part of a MYW package as well it all shows up linked in MDE. I have read others posts about taking an email with a barcode to guest services to activate tickets but I didn't receive an email specifically for the tickets & nothing with a barcode I just received the regular package confirmation. Did you receive an email for tickets with barcode?Quick question, I bought the Canadian tickets on a MYW Package (everything is linked on MDE, including my resort and tickets are assigned to each member of my family), do I specifically need to visit a Guest Relations or can I just activate my tickets at check-in (ASSP) ?
I didn't get an email with barcodes, I think it's just for the people who bought tickets only. Everything is linked though, I see my resort reservation and the tickets are assigned to each member of my family. I only received an email about "Congrats you're going to Disney World blahblahblah with all the information" and another email for a payment we did (the 200$ deposit)I'm in the same boat as you.

Don't they normally activate normal tickets at the resorts though? :/You will still need to go to Guest Relations at any park or downtown Disney to show your passport to have the tickets activated. Your resort is not able to activate the tickets.
The Canadian tickets are actually vouchers though. Even though it is attached with your package and you see them in your MDE and you can set up your fast passes they need to see a passport to verify them. Sounds silly I know...but that's Disney. Ticketing actually operates separately from the resort and dining. I learned this on our Xmas trip as we had an issue with our dinning plan - we were missing credits when we went to pay - and the issue could only be solved by going all the way back to the resort...even though we ate at a restaurant in the park guest relations couldn't solve the issue. That was beyond frustrating!!!! Chef de France had left our account open and charged the next 2 tables to our dining plan the night before. Went for lunch the next day and all of our credits were gone!!! We had to pay out of pocket and then go all the way back to the resort because guest relations doesn't deal with dining issues....the resorts do!Don't they normally activate normal tickets at the resorts though? :/
Oh.. I get it. Thanks for the heads up heheThe Canadian tickets are actually vouchers though.
