Disney ticket validity as part of package and split booking. Advice needed please.

Hi,

I'm looking to book the Davy Crockett Ranch later this year. It's 4 nights so we will have 5 days worth of Disney tickets included. Does the first ticket have to be used on the first day we arrive or are we handed 5 days worth of tickets to use within a period of time?

Why I ask is that I'm going to use hotels.com to book another final night added onto the end of our holiday for free with my Clubcard points. (It really bumps up the Disney price to add a 5th night via their own website)
I'm hoping they will let us stay in the same cabin too, has anyone ever done it this way before?

I'm hoping that we can arrive in the afternoon at DCR, the children can use the pool for the first day and then we can use our final Disney ticket on our last day which would be the extra booking day?

I'm used to having an annual pass and staying at Explorers so I'm not sure about the validity of the Disney tickets at all.

Thanks in advance for any advice you have!

I think it’s linked to your check in / check out days. Can you do cash booking for arrival day instead.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I've been playing about with the dates and just realised there is a special offer for certain arrival dates and the day we check in is the last possible date included in the offer but the earliest date we can arrive. If that makes sense. So I can only add the extra day onto the end of our stay.

Hi
I just checked a ticket from nov 2015 (my daughter has it in an autograph book). We checked in nov 25th for 4 days and tickets says nov 25 a dec 2 for 4 days. Might have changed since then, if someone has recently come book maybe they could help

The tickets as part of a package will only be valid from check in to check out date. The magic passes have your visit dates printed on them.

As above, valid for your stay. We have the disabled pass too and that is dated only if the length of stay.

Thanks for the clarification. At least by adding the extra night at the end we can enjoy a full last day in the park and sleep before the drive home the following day.
