Air Miles Park Tickets

[Mickey's Best Girl]

I'm looking for information regarding Park Tickets "purchased" with Air Miles. We are considering getting 4 adult 5 day hoppers with the Air Miles we have accrued.

My question is are these tickets just like any other Disney ticket? Will we be able to upgrade the tickets to 7 day hoppers when we arrive or even upgrade to AP's? I have been searching the net and can't find any information.

TIA

I just got my 7 day airmile ticket and it's an official Disney ticket. They can be upgraded at any Guest relation, I plan on upgrading mine to an AP.

Yup, you can upgrade no problem. It's just like any other Disney ticket you buy on site. Aeroplan tickets are different - you get a print out which you take to the gate but you can still upgrade those ones as well.

I've redeemed AM for park tickets many times and have upgraded them each time. I had not a single problem upgrading them until this year. In the past I had just added days or options to my tickets but this year I had a child ticket that had to be converted to an adult ticket. The ticket that I received from AM was dated 2007(I ordered/received in June 2012) and when I went to do the upgrade the CM told me that I would need to pay the difference between what the ticket cost in 2007 and what the current price was....over $200 Based on all my previous experiences I had excepted to pay only the $19 difference from child to adult. Anyway, the CM had to get a manager to see if there was anyway that they could just charge me the $19....in the end that's what happened and I was very relieved, an extra $200 was not in the vacay budget. The manager told me that ticket policies had changed recently (which I already knew) and that was part of the problem. He then laughed and said he applauded my honestly about the ticket as most people would have lied and said their kid aged out of the ticket and got it upgraded for free. That kind of irritated me a little because if they were changing the ticket for free for most people then why did I have to give them another $19...wasn't the $4500 I spent down there enough?

So anyway....yes, you can upgrade your tickets but just be fully aware of what the prices and rules are with regard to doing it. I read many, many times that you should use your tickets to enter a park before doing any upgrades to them. I would highly recommend doing this....it certainly can't hurt and it may be the easiest way to do the upgrade without any worries. I had done this in the past but couldn't this last time.

I upgraded my AM 7 day base ticket to AP this July on the 1st day I used. I did not pay attention to the expiry date. When I went back home and found out the expiry date is April 2013. I called Disney and they had problem with he system, do I was unable to fix it on tat day. Since I will go Disney this December and I an not planning to go again after April, I am so lazy to call Disney again. Does anyone have the same issue? Do you think I can get it fix in Dec? I upgraded the UC tickets to 10 day non-expiry tickets for DH and DD, I hope their record will be correct. If there is any problem, do I need to provide any proof how many days we used? I don't know how we can prove though??
