Annual Pass Purchasing Help - AAA, UT, Other?

[Grumpy92]

I use AAA, Tickets at Work is another option if you are eligible.

Spelled out exactly correct

That's good to know, thanks, Dan!
But, I screwed up and didn't buy the tickets yet and now the non expiring ones are gone so can't save the $72! Ugh! I was so planning on buying those! I don't know when it was posted that tickets go up tomorrow but I didn't get here at all on Friday so figuring that's when. Argh!

Okay, so, spelling this all out even more, for my benefit and to get verification that I'm looking at this correctly, lol. Buying a 6-Day Park Hopper® + Water Park Fun & More - No Expiration at UCT would cost $577.47. Buying this ticket with tax thru Disney would cost $577.47 + 72.00 = $649.47. And, if I buy the ticket at UCT, and then enter my first park on arrival day, the ticket's value will then be $649.47, just as if I'd bought that ticket thru Disney originally. Then, I can go to GS and ask to upgrade and bridge that ticket to a regular AP. If they bridge it correctly, it should cost me the difference between the value of the 6 day tickets that is now $649.47 and the Disney regular AP cost of $675.21. So, I'd pay an additional $25.74 at the GS counter,(if they quote me any other amount, we'll ask for manager or stop the upgrade and move to another GS). Making my total payout for the regular AP $577.47 + $25.74 = $603.21, saving $72.00!! I definitely like seeing it all spelling out like that, lol!


TIA!

We did that EXACT scenario 2 weeks ago. We upgraded at Epcot guest relations without a problem and then immediately bought Tables in Wondderland. The CM price bridged without me saying anything, we paid around $25 to upgrade the adult tickets and somewhat more for the child's. I was nervous before hand and asked questions here, but it went as smooth as could be!

I read on another thread that UCT took their non expiring tickets down temporarily to do inventory on what they actually have available, and will put them back up again. They historically sell at previous prices until sold out. So check often. Or I read maple leaf tickets (I think that's the name) and cheap tickets stillhave them, at least tonight. I have no experience with those sellers, but I have used UCT a few times.

That's exactly where I upgraded with no problems a couple of years ago! But, each time I like to see it all written out to be sure I've got it right, lol. I did see somewhere here, another thread, that Uct may be putting some back up so I'll have to stalk the Uct page! I have used them several times so hope they do put the tickets back as I like going to a place I know and trust! I checked maple leaf but the tickets are more and I'd hate to buy there and not get the savings I could get at uct if they do list them again! But, I'll look at cheaptickets just to see what they have, thx!

Minniekins, I see your tickets are back up on UCT.
