A.P. upgrade

[Keeva]

Does anyone know if you can upgrade a Regular AP to a Premium?Do they pro-rate the cost for the remaining pass time or do they pro-rate what's left and make you buy a new pass? We bought AP's in December but would like to upgrade for our July trip. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Hi Keeva!

I might want to do the same when I go down to Disney on Wednesday. Here is what I found on www.wdwig.com

What if I decide I want to change to a PAP after I already used my AP?

You can do this. It will be handled just like any other pass upgrade. WDW will credit you the remaining time on your AP and charge you the difference between that and the PAP price. The PAP will be prorated to expire when your AP would have. If you would rather have a brand new upgrade to expire one year from the upgrade you can do that too but you must specifically ask for it and pay the price difference.

So according to this we can upgrade the passes. Hope this helps you.

My question now, is how do they pro-rate?

I think it would be to divide the cost of the ticket by 365 days.
Multiply difference between PAP day and AP day by day left for the year, and that is the rate you pay.

Like this:

261 days left on AP.

AP costs aprox. 1.08 a day.
PAP cost aprox 1.43 a day.

1.43 - 1.08 = .35 cent difference

261 X .35 = $91.35 to upgrade to PAP for the rest of the year.


Is this a correct assumption?

Also when you have a PAP and you want to Renew, can you get an AP at that point or do you need to renew to a PAP again?

I am thinking that to save money I would renew as an AP and then upgrade to PAP when I actually go on my trip.

Does this make sense?

Thanks in Advance!

Giving this a bump to see if anyone had more info. I would be interested in how they pro rate it as well. I will have about 3 weeks left on my AP when we go this summer and wonder how this would compare to upgrade vs. buying waterpark admissions for our trip.
