I am not sure why they would not leave it available online. What good does this do?

I think you put the wrong link. This goes to Sleepy Hollow.

Thanks Jason. I fixed it.

Here's a total guess...

Is it possible that people who order the no expire online are more likely to be folks that understand the value of buying a longer ticket ahead of time to use on multiple trips?

As opposed to people that wait until they're there to add the no expire option in an attempt to possibly "save" some unused days they didn't anticipate. Of course when you factor in how cheap it is to add extra days past a certain point, it's not often worth just saving a couple of days on a ticket if you're planning to come back for a chunk of time in the future.

Of course that doesn't really explain why the phone option is still in play.

More likely answer?

Disney's website won't accommodate some change they're about to make AND adding the no expire option to tickets.

Even MORE likely answer?

Someone in management ate a spicy meal right before bed and had a dream that this was somehow a good idea.

I've seen a few of these messages but I don't get it - if you go to disneyworld.disney.go.com and go to Tickets&Packages->BuyParkTickets and select BuyNow, you still get the 'No Expiration Option' or if I go through 'Price your vacation' and book through that, it's available there as well ...
