Adding days to kttw if paid in full before the price increase?

[mommycrawford]

I paid for a MYW package with 1 day tikets before prices went up.

To add days to the ticket w/o paying the increase...do I need to use that 1 day, or can I upgrade by phone before I arrive?

TIA Cheshire figment!

Oh...what is "a cash equivalent ?

1- Use the ticket to go into a theme park, THEN do the upgrade.
You will not be able to NOT pay the "increased new price" (you WILL have to pay
the new price for the UPGRADE portion of the ticket.)
What you accomplish by using the ticket first is that you will
"make our ticket worth" $79 (the new 1-day price) instead of $75 (the former 1-day price)
You will not be saving a lot of money, regardless.

If you upgrade before you arrive, you won't save that $4. (Again, not a major deal.)

2- Credit card, debit card, bank check, traveler's check, gift card, etc.

Does it matter if I use my ticket first?

I have a 7 day with plus options. I need to upgrade to non-expire. Since non-expire is a set amount add on will it just be the non-expire amount if I haven't used the ticket? Or will it be the non-expire amount plus the difference in what I paid for the 7/7 ticket in 2007 to todays 7/7 price?

Wow I hope that didn't sound too confusing?

If this ticket (new and never used) was purchased at a price less than today's
price, definitely use the ticket to go into a theme park at least once
before you upgrade.

The ticket will then "become worth" the CURRENT gate price for the same
kind of ticket, and you will then pay less for the upgrade.

When in doubt, use the ticket to enter a theme park before upgrading.

It can't hurt, and it could help.
