This whole trip has been a money pit already costing me $1200 usd to change flights .. what’s another $400 right ? Lol im not going to cry at this point

My ex has stopped paying, my son is now leaning towards school in sept as opposed to a victory lap, and in and on . I knew I’d have to go back to 2 jobs now I’m thinking 3 ..lol

You need to give a bit more information to get a proper answer:

1. Are they the CDN discounted tickets?
2. What day are they valid for?
3. Where did you get them from?

If your answer to #1 is Yes i don't think you'll like the answer!
Here's the answer based on what i *think* the tickets cost using a date of August 18 (random number i first chose )
You need to take the value of the ticket you have in hand and subtract it from the ticket you want to buy.
This means you will lose the discount you received right up front because you need to look at the price of the ticket you want-
7 day hopper at that time is $568.55 pre-tax
7 day base ticket is $483.55 BUT the CDN ticket was only $386.84 (it was 20% off)
SO to upgrade you'll need to shell out almost $200 PER ticket.

Added costs to a vacation, especially unexpected costs, are the worst!

Take my advice with lots of salt, but I think I would wait and see how things are looking closer to your trip before I added hoppers, especially if it's mostly a concern about Rise of the Resistance. Disney makes changes on their own schedule, and they don't tend to give much warning. Our trip was less than 30 days out when they added FP to the Millennium Falcon ride. Rise of the Resistance has the boarding group system right now, but no one really knows how long that will last or what might come next. I would wait and see.

Thank you . Yes it will totally be a last minute decision . I did use am to get the older 2 MNSSHP tix ( they came today ) so maybe before fastpass day I’ll let them decide if they want to spend that day with me and the littles at MK or if they want to go wherever that day and just use their party ticket at night . We have two days planned at MK so that plus a party for them may be too much MK for teens with all the new stuff at HS and Epcot this summer ..
Days wise as of now planned we have
2 MK
2 HS
2 AK
1 Epcot

When I flew last October (airmiles tickets) I was able to check in at 24hrs with no issues. Hope that helps. I looked up our upcoming flights for April (because I'm paranoid) and everything was as should be. I used the AC booking reference AM issued on my receipt. I booked these flights in December 2019

but now I'm going to go and check it again...

I can access the flight, but I can't purchase my seats in advance...were you able to do that? This is what I get after I access my flight:



Then when I click Select Seats, I get this:

Sorry no help there. I never pre-purchase seats. I just take whatever is available at 24hrs. I see that same page in my file as well. My son called to get seat reservation last time he flew with an airmiles reservation.

I just bought flights for December using AM last month. You have to call to buy advanced seat selection because the tickets are from AM. For my experience using AM to buy AC flights, I can always check in online 24 hours prior.

It looks like a Food basics week for me, I'd like to get yogurt at Metro but not sure it'll be in the budget after I get fruit, veggies and essentials.

 

[bababear_50]

I guess being known a the mom who is prepared has a few drawbacks,,,youngest son came to visit yesterday (laundry day)....."mom I have a cold do you have any Tylenol Cold/Flu stuff?",,grrr I went out and got him two packs and while I got 10 airmiles at Sobeys,,,tomorrow I would have gotten 50 airmiles at Sobeys.
I think it's time to restock my home supply......
One thing I have noticed is **My Offers** seems to be changing throughout the week. I got a bottle of Mr Clean with 20 airmiles attached added yesterday.

I just seen posted on " that facebook Am page " that Megas Miles is returning. " Mega Miles - March 19th - April 16, 2020 - Similar to last year. Use 3 partners, get 300AM or 5 partners for 1,000AM "

Crossing my fingers, as I have been holding off on buying some items. So hoping to be able to complete all 5 partners!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Woohoo! It's still 5 for 1,000!
