changing 5 day to a 6 day question

[campinggirl]

I have a 5 day pass I bought from under cover tourist. We are leaving a day early, so I want to change it to a 6 day pass once at Disney World. I have read it was best to use the pass one day before changing it to a 6 day. What's the purpose of this?

By using the pass once, Disney will credit you the current gate cost. If you don't use it first, Disney will only credit you what Undercover Tourist paid for the ticket. So you would get credited less than what you paid for it.

This process is known as "bridging".

Thanks so much! We leave in an hour for our trip to Disney!

Thank you for posting this! I have unused 2 day passes we bought a year ago (had to for free dining) - and we plan to use those to upgrade next week. So I enter the day I arrive, then just upgrade some time after that? This whole process always made me nervous.
