Thanks. I figured that was the case. I just wanted to double check. As long as I can book them once I visit Guest services.
This situation is not fully known, because the tickets we are discussing have only been issued starting less than year ago.
None of them have yet reached their "use-by-date."
Once a never-used ticket has gone past its "use-by-date," it is no longer a valid ticket.
So, it would be unlikely that it being in a guest's MDX account would allow the pre-booking of FP+.
It is not a ticket that is "unactivated" (like an AP certificate,) but it is simply a "dead ticket."
The ticket was already activated. New tickets (unlike APs) are always "activated" when purchased.
What will be the case with these "past their use-by date" tickets is that they are no longer valid as tickets.
What it CAN be used for is having its original purchase price (Disney price on the day it was minted)
applied to the purchase of a completely separate and new ticket.
Your assertion about "visiting Guest Services" (actually, it would be Guest
Relations) is not exactly a remedy, per se,
(as it would be for, say, activating an AP certificate) but going to Guest Relations or any ticket booth would
be a place where you could
purchase a new ticket and use the value of the "expired" (there's that imprecise word again)
never-used ticket to help pay for the new ticket's purchase.
(Difficult to discuss with so many ambiguous terms in the descriptions.)
