Canadian Residents 25% off tickets on WDW site **Offer extended until May 20, 2017.

isabellea · Feb 18, 2017

Once our taxes refund comes in in March, maybe I will be able to convince DH to go back in 2018 for Christmas now that the offer has been extended...

So, is there anyway to know if the prices will stay the same until the new May 20th date? The Canadian promo prices were not affected by the recent price increase.....

I have a few questions... I'm thinking of buying these for a future trip. How do you use them for the fast pass selections 60 days out when you have to exchange for "real" tickets when you are there? If you buy these tickets now and stay on Disney property can you buy the dining plan?

Yes, you can call disney and do a "ticketless" package and add the dining plan. As for FP, there will be a code with your exchange certificate that you can link to your MDE account and assign to people to book your FP in advance.

We're almost on the road and looking for some re-assurance from those who've redeemed these tix already.

We arrive off-site late Saturday and are going to Epcot Sunday. Intend to go to DS Sat night to redeem tix and get magicbands etc.
- Can we buy and link magicbands at DS guest services?
- I have myself, my wife and DD(6), DS(4), DS(2 - no ticket). Can I go on my own with my wife's passport to get my tix or will they not give me her ticket. All ordered on same reservation.
- We also are travelling with Bro, Sis, niece whose tickets are ordered on separate reservation. Can I get their tix too or do Bro and I both need to go? (which is current plan anyhow)

I'm no expert but here's it is :
You can buy magicbands at any store in DS (or any park for that matter) and you can link them yourself in MDE by entering the number printed on the inside of the band. I think the CMs can also do that for you at the register though.
From what I've been told, you can go and get the tickets for all the members of your party as long as you have their passports, they don't need to be there. I'm also going to do that so I hope it's true!
You could probably (experts needed here!) get your bro's tickets as well but you'd need the credit card that was used to buy them as well as their passports. I personally wouldn't chance it and I'd go with him but that's just me...

We are also getting there Saturday evening but I'm planning on going to DS Sunday morning to activate the tickets before we go to MK in the afternoon :goodvibes

Have a great trip! :cool1:

My son will only fly direct after our trip last May when we had connecting flights. We are going Aug 27 to Sep 3 and got our flights for $973 with Air Canada direct from Ottawa to Orlando. I know it's not cheap but it's direct ...

Is that $973 each? You should consider flying from Ogdensburg which also flies direct. It's to SFB not MCO which can be a bit of a pain but flights are significantly cheaper. You can't buy that far ahead so prices for Aug 27 - Sep 3 aren't available yet but Aug 5 - Aug 12 is $187US (about $250CND depending on the conversion rate). It's Allegiant Air which does charge for pretty much anything and everything they can think of but I think if you are flying economy, the luggage fees are about the same (although Allegiant does charge for carry-on which is free on AC. Allegiant does allow a personal item.

@Tanooki thanks for the awesome detail. Interesting (at least to me): the shaking smiley emoji came up on my phone as ":good vibes:" Meaning I've now got The Beach Boys playing in my head. Which is awesome! #BestSongEver!!!

I wish good vibrations out your direction as well.

I've read other posts that you drive straight through. That's what we're doing as well. Leaving late afternoon Friday (Ottawa) intending to arrive Saturday evening.

It's for both of us. I did consider Ogdensburg but it would require paying for parking at the airport there, more driving, paying for bags, and transfers, I didn't think it would be worth it for us. Plus the drive home after the flight. I'm saving a lot on Yacht Club and the tickets, although if we get luck and the MNSSHP is on September 1st I guess we'll be spending that savings. I normally only take carryon bags, though we may take one regular suitcase this time, haven't decided yet

I do really like that we have the option of Ogdensburg now though, I think the more competition the better.

Another hour will get you to syracuse and Jet Blue. We fly from Syracuse frequently and stay in an airport hotel with Free parkng. The best western is within throwing distance of the airport. We love going through customs at the bridge instead of through the airport.

I bought mine through my disney.com account. They show up in my account as valid tickets and I can see Fastpass availability for the next 30 days. So I assume as soon as I have a resort reservation that is within 60 days I will be able to make 60 day FP selections.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask that if we buy these 25% discounted Disney tickets for Canadian Residents with a room (All-Star Sports, but not the package), do we get a magicband that will allow us to book FastPasses 60 days in advance?

And how? I know that we get an email with a confirmation number and a barcode, but do we still get MagicBands if we buy the tickets and the room separately ?

Thanks :rolleyes1

elaine amj · Feb 24, 2017

When I stayed in September, I was on a room-only and got magic bands like normal.

When you stay on property, you will be given Magic Bands even if you don't have park tickets. We stayed one night at the Yacht Club and received them.

You can link your vouchers to your My Disney Experience account. If you are staying on property and it is registered in your account you should be able to book your FP+ at 60 days. You don't need your MagicBands to book FP+.

I'm a little confused. I purchased these tickets last week through the Disney website, they are showing up in my MDE account along with my DVC reservation. Am I still expected to produce an exchange certificate? I get that we will have to verify Canadian residence with our passports, but nothing on the purchase confirmation said I would receive an exchange certificate.

I got an email with a barcode. Above the barcode it says "Show this at ticket window". I am planning to print the email and bring it with me to activate the tickets before heading to the parks.

I also purchased through website and I received an email confirmation that has scannable purchase code and instructions for redeeming at guest services. I expect to allow that to be scanned from my phone.
