Another ticket bridging question

[disfanforlife]

I have an older 7 day ticket I bought in 2010. I would like to upgrade it to add PH for my DD when we go in November. When I bridge the ticket what happens if the bridge value is greater than the price to add PH? I assume that means I wouldn't have to pay to add the PH?

First of all, bridging would only come into play if you bought the ticket at a discount, which would include if it was part of a package. I don't know what you mean by the bridge value being greater than the cost to add PH. Assuming your ticket is eligible for bridging, the price to add a park hopper to a 7 day ticket is $69 plus tax, since a 7 day non-park hopper is $370 plus tax and a 7 day park hopper is $439 plus tax.

Gray Area Alert:
A ticket bought from Disney in 2010 MIGHT be eligible for price-bridging, as the bridging exclusion of direct-purchase tickets was a new rule starting in mid-2012.

That's not how it works.

If the ticket can be bridged, it will cost you $69. If it can't be bridged, you'll pay $69 plus the difference in price between your ticket and the current gate price.

Whether or not the ticket can be bridged depends on the exact circumstances under which you bought your ticket.

I bought the ticket at a discount from UT in 2010. Sorry for not giving that information. That is why I was thinking that the difference from what I paid in 2010 to the gate price now was more than the $69 it would cost to add PH.

Price bridging means that if you purchased your ticket in 2010 for $100 and it is now worth $200, then Disney would give you the current value of $200 towards your park hopper upgrade. A park hopper always cost more than a base ticket, so you would always have to pay to turn a base ticket into a park hopper.

I realized that this morning and was just going to post that, thank you! Too many thoughts swirling through my head adding the ticket, getting flights for my DD and now FP this am! I am one of those people who plans very early, so I guess I was t thinking straight about the ticket. Thank you for all the helpful responses.
