Does anyone know if I can do the air miles "trick" with this:

Buy this at a discounted rate, use it once, then pay for the upgrade for the full cost of the ticket I purchased to Annual Pass?

TIA!

Whoops, thought this was an AM thread! NVM!
 
What's the point of selling us the vouchers, then make us go to exchange the vouchers for actual park tickets when we get there? Everything is on the magicbands already and they have our address info on file. Since the voucher numbers can be link to the MDE account to make Ft selection. Why all the extra steps?

So they get to check our passports to make sure we are actually Canadians indeed.
 
Just spoke with Disney and for all of you that do not want to waist time at the gate, you can go to the Guest Services at Disney Spring to get this voucher with your credit card and passport !
It's located near Sprinkles Cupcakes!

Is it possible to buy these discounted tickets at CAA here in Canada or do you have to order them from WDW?

If you get them here, would you be able to 'upgrade' to an AP with price bridging?

Also, we are going this Nov but already have tickets purchased from UT. If we buy these now for a future trip can we exchange the vouchers for tickets to bring back home to use later? Will we have to assign the tickets when we pick them up at the ticket window? OR ... Should I just keep the vouchers?

Finally,
What does buying the tickets using 'PS' mean?

Thank you!

I was wondering the same thing about buying tickets from CAA (and getting actual tickets and eliminating the need to go to GS to exchange a certificate) so I just called my CAA travel office. They told me I could get real (plastic cards) tickets with the 25% discount at the CAA office until Feb 27th! :cool1:

Now, I haven't been there to try and buy them so we'll see but this sounds promising! :goodvibes

OMG seriously??? This is HUGE, because then yes, you should be able to bridge them to AP's -- but until someone can confirm that you get actual real, in your hand hard tickets i won't jump on it. There would also be no foreign transaction fee on your credit card!

I also won't completely believe it until I hold some tickets in my hands... :p
But there would still be fees as I've bought tickets from CAA before and they sold them to me in U$ . But still, if we can buy them with the 25% off and possibly upgrade (and bridge!) them. that's still a great deal! :thumbsup2

Yes, they will still sell them in US funds --- convert to CDN so you're paying the exchange rate BUT you pay with your regular Canadian credit card meaning no transaction fee.
 
Okay! So anyone using this deal that's going to be in the parks in the next, oh... week? who could give us their benefit of experience? Esp re adding days once there!

Headed there for Nov 4, my party of 3 + cousin's party of 3.... and no idea how many days at the parks we'll want! aaaarrrrgggh! I'm going to add the hopper as we'll be at an Epcot resort for part of the stay (can you say Food & Wine????!!!! yahoo!).
 
I just wanted to send out a huge Thank You to all of you that have posted on this thread. After reading the many comments I was able to call yesterday and buy our new tickets at the discounted rate, link all of our already chosen fastpasses, then cancel our old tickets that were linked to our package. In the end we saved $394.31 USD....or about $521.54 CAD at the current rates! So excited :thanks:
 
Can I still book fast passes if we don't actually have the tickets?

We arrive late at night and have early ADR first day. Should I try to redeem voucher at Disney Springs our first night or wait to do at MK efore ADR?

How much would you be saving if you bridged them to an AP? Do you just take the difference between regular priced tickets (let's say 5 day tickets) and the discounted tickets off the price of an AP?

If in fact they do give you *normal tickets* that Disney will not be able to track as the discounted ones (this is in question until someone has first-hand "in the wild results" to report), once you activate it by entering a park you can then go to customer service and pay the difference between a 5 day ticket and an AP. Currently that would work out like this:
5 day pass --$361.10 (discounted price $271.58)
AP -- $797.69
cost to upgrade --$436.59 SO total total to upgrade would be $271.58 (at home) +$436.59 =$708.17 US funds of course a savings of $89.50

But if you're thinking about upgrading would it make sense to buy the 10 day?
$426.00 (discounted price $319.50)
cost to upgrade -- $ 371.69 SO total to upgrade in this case $319.50 +$371.69 = $691.19 US --a savings of $106.50

OH and another wrinkle? buy the 10 day PH
$ 499.49 (discounted price $371.75)
cost to upgrade -- $298.20 SO total to upgrade in this case $374.62 + $298.20 = $672.82 US --a savings of $124.87

No one has been able to answer the question of the "CAN these be upgraded to an AP" I think it would be a great savings but until someone actually goes to a CAA office and buys the tickets at the discounted price and then links them to their account we have no way of knowing how they will appear in the system. (i won't be doing this .. got ours thru Airmiles)
 
Haven't read the entire thread ----

Question ( I like to know in advance since I've found that CMs can give erroneous information)

I have booked a free dining package for my sister. Since she's booked but the special offer has ended any experience on here of them being able to go back in and adjust the ticket prices at all? Or is it a done deal.

Thank you.
 
This is AWESOME!!! I have a party of 7 going next year and I was planning on 6-8 WDW days so this will help a ton!

Here's what I learned and please correct me if I'm wrong:

1. I can purchase them by Feb. 27th, 2017.
2. I can use them for my trip in Nov/Dec. 2017.
3. The exchange thingee is enough to book FP+
4. I need to go to a guest services place to show my ID and get real tickets.

Why do I need to do an exchange if I have FP+ loaded up on my MBs already????

1) Yes, either thru the website or call (and someone mentioned CAA offices are also selling them, but not confirmed yet)
2) Yes, they're good until you first activate them at which time you have the standard 14 days till they expire
3) Yes, you can book FP+
4) Yes, before you can actually use it to enter a park you need to show valid Canadian ID

You need to do the actual psychical exchange with ID in hand to prove that you are in fact, Canadian. Once you've shown your ID and activated it at a gate it will be linked to either your MB or the ticket and connected to your finger scan.

I think you are asking if you can get the Canadian price for tickets with your sister's FD package. Is that correct? If so I'm pretty sure the answer is no. When you book a FD package you are expected to pay rack rate for room and full price for tickets (plus a ph or wp&more add on). However I don't think anyone's actually tried it...who knows you may get a cm who adjusts your tickets and keeps your fd on. Most likely you will be told no. However, like you said, CMs can give erroneous info! lol

Thank you. You're right, the answer was no. And that is what I thought going in.

The only reason I had a moment of *hmmm* was because she was booked under the Canadian FD offer (extended booking window).

But the CM did go off the phone and check with a manager. She was unsure.

I have always been aware that you pay rack rate for the hotel room with free dining. But had no clue that it was that way with the tickets as well. But then again it's not like we have regular ticket discounts :goodvibes, so in essence I've probably never given the ticket portion any thought. And when I have done FD I used to go for the one day ticket - that used to be available - because I had old passes to use. Oh the good ol' days. :laughing: :drinking1

When going to the park to show my Canadian ID and to pick up the tickets, what would be the quickest way to get them? It says you can either go to a ticket window or guest relations but I'm wondering which would save the most time. I'll be going to Epcot my first day there around 2pm.

How long of a wait is it for the ticket windows typically?
