add a day. How much will I pay? Can someone help me please??

[tangled1010]

I purchased 6 day PH for DH/DS15/DS7 right before the prices went up in Feb or March. Tickets are will call. If I want to add another day and make them 7day PH how much will I pay now?
Will it just be a 10.00 diff plus tax pp or will I have to pay the differ between the new 7day PH price
Thanks!

I think if you use them first and then upgrade, you'll only pay the $10. Hopefully someone who has done this recently will come along to confirm.

Use the ticket once then add a day. Make sure they know how to price bridge.

I wanted to add a day to our 5 day PH's two weeks ago. Outside the International Gateway at Epcot the girl had no clue, and said it would be $72 each. I went to Guest Relations by Spaceship Earth and paid $10 each instead.

If you bought them as part of a package, the price will be bridged as long as you use one day first and you will only pay $10 plus tax.

If the tickets were not part of a package then the price will not be bridged and you will pay the difference between the current price of a seven day ticket and the price you paid for your 6 day ticket.

So you bought them through Disney? Easy - I would use a day and then add the additional day. You'll just pay the $10 (or whatever it is now - still $10?) between the 6-day and the 7-day.

I had bought tickets through Undercover Tourist last year and I was able to add a day for $10 plus tax last July.

Disney won't price-bridge tickets that were sold directly, such as from a WDW ticket booth, online, or will-call. Doesn't matter if you use them first.

Disney does price-bridge tickets from indirect sources, to include Disney Stores, Disney resort package tickets, and discount resellers such as UnderCover Tourist. To qualify for price-bridging, these tickets have to be used at least once to enter a theme park.

In the OP's question, the 6-day PH ticket sold directly from Disney just prior to the Feb 23, 2014 price increase, cost $349. The cost of that same ticket now is $374. That is an increase of $25. Add the upgrade cost of adding one day, $10. Each ticket will cost $35 + tax = $37.28.

This is what I am thinking. I am trying to make sense of it all. I did purchase online through Disney right before the last increase.I will expect to pay 37.28 pp for the extra day. Good to know and thank you to all who replied.

I wonder why they don't price bridge their own tickets? That doesn't make good business sense to me. They've already lost money to the discount sellers and lose again through bridging. Seems like it would be the other way around...price bridge their own as a "reward" for those who buy directly and not price bridge to those who already got a discount.

Last fall when we were at Animal Kingdom I traded in our unused 8 day MYWnon-exp waterpark and fun tyvek tickets for RFID tickets. These tickets are still unused. I had gotten these tickets from UT to upgrade for our annual passes this year. I'm guessing I will get credit for the value of the ticket before the price increase this year. I understand that this trade did increase the value of the ticket last fall, however, I may have lost out on some of my bridging options. Any thoughts?

I never heard or read that changing ticket media to RFID had any effect on the actual ticket. Each ticket has a history, and Disney can see, by scanning the bar code, that they were bought from a ticket reseller, they can see the date Disney originally sold the ticket wholesale to that reseller and they can see the wholesale price. They wouldn't know what date you bought the ticket at retail or the price you paid, as that is the business of the reseller.

As with any third party Disney ticket, use the ticket at least once to enter a theme park. This will price-bridge the ticket to today's current gate price when doing a ticket upgrade. Thus, you keep your discount and pay only for the upgrade, at current gate price. If you upgrade before using the ticket, its worth would be the wholesale price, since that's the only price Disney knows. You could stand to lose $$.

From your info, your tickets are 8 day MYW non-expiring waterpark fun & more. Current gate value of that ticket is --
8 Day Adult Base $334, plus WPF&M option $60, plus no expire $270 = $664. (plus 6.5 tax)
Current price, Adult Regular AP $634. (plus 6.5 tax)
Your original ticket is worth more than the regular AP. Disney policy is to not refund the difference in these situations.

Once you use your original ticket to enter a theme park, there is a 14-day window for doing upgrades, after which no upgrades are allowed (even for non-expiring tickets).

Here's allears.net's ticket history. http://allears.net/tix/tixpix10.htm
Scroll down to 2014. There are 2 numbers for each ticket, one shows the pre-Feb 23, 2014 price, the higher number is the post-Feb 23, 2014 price. You will use the post-Feb 23rd numbers. You have to add the tax amount (6.5% or x1.065). At the top of the page are links to prices going back in time for decades.
