I assumed it was coded as a special convention/tour ticket and they didn't want to argue with folks about the price of an added day being higher than a normal ticket, or wanting to add on more than one day even though longer tickets don't exist.
I think this is the case. The way Disney works internally is that ABD has to buy large quantities of tickets from Disneyland for the specific dates of the adventure. ABD gets them at a discount over the public price, so they can't be altered or used on different days.
Following up, for me to add an extra day of park hopping is currently over $200, so if anyone is able to get discounted tickets or finds a way to extend it please let me know.
But I guess if you extend the trip with ABD they would give you longer passes right?
I don't believe that's the case.
Good question. In the past this was not possible as the tickets expired on the last day of the ABD.
Normally no, the ticket is only good for the last 4 days of the trip and they can't give you a longer one.
I believe the passes actually have an expiration date on them, not "4 days after first use".
Correct, but not immediate. That’s why I thought that if someone wants to add an extra day on the end that they could just not go in one tour day and then use it later. The bigger issue is if you wanted to fly out early.
I'm not sure what you're getting at... when we were on the tour in 2018 our tickets said they expired on the last day of our tour. I wouldn't be able to go in on June 2nd if my ticket expires on June 1st no matter how many days I actually used it. You also can't add on to the beginning as you do not get your tickets until the first day of the tour.
i extended with my travel agent (dreams unlimited travel of the disboards) and i had to buy a separate 2 day park hopper.
Overall we had a really good time. The trip did get off to a bumpy start. There was a miscommunication where no one was waiting to pick us up at that airport. Then there was a problem with getting the tickets, no one got them until the afternoon on the first day. I didn't get mine until 2:30. Everyone had come in early or the night before to spend time in the parks so that was disappointing. I can't remember the name of the Imagineer, he was younger though. That was fun walking around Galaxy's Edge. Our guides Danny and Michael were amazing. This was my first Adventures by Disney trip and based on the service you get from the guides I would consider doing another one in the future.
I'm not sure what this means. The ticket has an *actual expiration date* on it. If the last date of your ABD is June 5, 2022, the pass will have an expiration date of June 5, 2022 stamped on it when you get it. Not something added on once you enter the park. If you skip June 2nd, your pass is still going to expire on the date stamped on it: June 5th.
Never mind then. I must have misremembered how the tickets looked. We had a few to juggle and some definitely had later expirations.
