Does anyone know the cost of adding days to a ticket? I have a three day hopper and need to upgrade to a seven day hopper. Do I just pay the difference between the two? That seems too good to be true. Any info you could give me would be appreciated!
 
Disney gives a pretty good deal on this. As long as you upgrade within 14 days of first use, you only pay the difference between the two passes -- in this instance approx $20 per ticket (the difference between $224 and $204).

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, I have a feeling I'm not that lucky. It's been a year since I first used the tickets. Do you know what happens now?

Is is non-expiring? How many days are left?

If it is non-expiring, I think all you can do is use the remaining days.

It is non-expiring. I guess I'll have to buy a separate ticket for the remaining days. I knew upgrading was too good to be true.

I would definitely check when you get there. I had read one source that said you could upgrade a non-expiring ticket anytime but a CM recently posted here you couldn't do it. I would check it out just in case.

I will definitely check. There is hope! I don't mean to sound cheap but I would rather save on the tickets and have more money to spend during the vacation. Thanks for your help!! :)
 
Here is some info from allears.net.

[B]MYW tickets are front loaded in value. That means that the most expensive days are the earliest ones. The later days (example: 8, 9 & 10 on a 10 day ticket) are only worth less than $5 each. The basic formula for the amount of the credit will be a deduction of a one day ticket price for the first day you used, the amount of the first and second day for the first two days you used, etc. By the time you get up to day 5, your ticket is actually worth very little in value towards a new one. SO it is actually in your best financial interest that this is no longer done. [/B]

Here is a link to their site which gives a lot of ticket info.

Becasue non-expiration cost varies with the number of days (originally on and added to) a ticket, we can talk about "the fifth non-expiring day costs x dollars, the sixth non-expiring day costs x dollars and so on". For tickets not used more than 13 days ago you can compute that dollar cost using the prices posted above the ticket booth although several additions and subtractions are needed compared with expiring tickets. If your arithmetic is* above 6'th grade level you are less likely to run into mistakes if you arrive at the number yourself instead of ask the CM to figure it out for you.

For tickets used more than 13 days ago I am not absolutely sure you can add days this way.

For tickets used more than 13 days ago you can still add hopping or water park fun at the prices posted above the ticket booth, last I am told.

(You have to go to Guest Relations, there is also one of these windows outside the turnstiles, to do the upgrade.)

The cost per day is usually much less when you buy a new ticket for the entire vacation when old tickets won't fully cover. For vacations of more than 7 days an expiring ticket usually works best.

Don't forget, tickets that have expired are absolutely dead.
