Keeping park tickets safe

[Gryff]

We take photographs and photo copies of them and the ticket receipt and laminate them both sides of the ticket and a pic of all,of us with our respective ticket showing the signature and bar code yes I like the belt and braces approach even with our Anual passes

We are here now and I have images of all the backs of tickets on my iPhone as that's always with me... thanks dibbers great tip although so far luckily not needed. I have the tickets in a couple of little wallets ...my daughter and her boyfriend have theirs in one similar to a travel pass holder ( they sometimes do different parks to us that's why theirs are together. And mine, OHs and my little girls are in a three fold card holder I got from cath kidston in sale before we came. All tickets are in wallets back to front with barcodes showing and then I don't have to keep taking them out and they scan straight through the plastic anyway. This is a bit sad but I even line us all up in ticket order too to make it a bit quicker
When we've gone in water rides they are all sealed as well in a waterproof bag with the mobile phones.

Excellent advice. Helps CMs to easily replace if they get lost or stolen.

Agree with taking a photo of the tickets! Not needed to ask CMs to help with replacing tickets personally but have read reports of people who have managed to get tickets replaced at Universal where the ticket has been lost/destroyed (e.g. by water)...

At Disney all I needed was my Magic Band(s). I didn't even bother with picking up my MYW ticket at Will Call last year...

At Universal my ticket was carried around all day on a lanyard with a plastic wallet with a zip-lock type thing (bought a Ravenclaw one at Universal). This was especially useful as I also had an Express pass which was easily scanned on the lanyard, and also for taking the Hogwarts Express where they need to scan the park to park ticket!

Would just add to the taking photos that we have in the past also e-mailed the photo back to all three of our mail accounts - another layer of protections should the photos somehow disappear from the phone (not an unknown occurrence for us! ).

The minute they arrive we sign and photograph and keep them in the ATD folder they come in. We email that to both our Gmail accounts for safety. We print a copy which I attach to the back of the receipt which I laminate.

When we get to each of the parks we buy a lanyard with a plastic case, which they never come out of.

For will call tickets. I Gmail them too and don't have a printed copy just in case our bag is stolen. But when we pick them up. Same photograph routine minus the lamination...

Paranoid me?

Snap. Photograph them then email. I'm designated card holder and, like a PP, I keep the cards on their own in one zipped pocket of my bag.

At Universal, I wore a lanyard and kept all the tickets plus the photo connect card in there.

Personally, I would just get a magic band, saves all that faffing about x

We'll only be doing 1 or 2 days of Disney parks so I don't think a magic band would be worth it
