AP Discount vs Magic Your Way Pkgs?

[mamapajama]

Due to 1 day tickets being so much more expensive comparatively to the 5+ day tickets, it winds up being more expensive. With taxes included: one day base ticket is $63.64 (63.64 x 4= $254.56) and 6 day tickets with plus pack is 247.10 (247.10 x 3= $741.30) for a total of $995.85. Seven day MYW tickets with tax with plus pack are $248.16 (248.16 x 4= $992.64), plus I would have a $248.16 7 day MYW with plus pack ticket left over, whereas the other way I would only have a $63.64 one day MYW base ticket left over.

I didn't plan on renewing my AP after it expires in January, so this way I would have the 7 day MYW with plus pack to use for a trip after my AP expires or for that matter if I did decide to renew my AP, then I could just apply the extra unused 7 day MYW pass ticket to my new AP and have $247.10 already paid toward my AP renewal (instead of the $63.64 the 1 day base ticket is worth as a trade-in).

In other words it would cost $3.21 less to by four 7 day MYW tickets with plus pack than it would to buy four 1 day base tickets and three 6 day MYW tickets with plus pack and at the end I would still have a $248.16 7 day ticket with five pluses instead of a 1 day base ticket. Using my AP instead of the extra 7 day ticket means I would have a 7 day MYW with plus pack ($248.16) left over at the end (instead of a $63.64 one day base ticket) that I could use next year if I don't renew my AP or to apply to the AP if I do renew it. So it would be cheaper by $187.73.
difference of 248.16 (7 day MYW) - 63.64 (1 day Base)= 184.52
184.52 + 3.21 = $187.73
Does this make sense?

Okay just got some Tylenol because now my head hurts, LOL. I guess if you weren't going to renew your pass it's a better deal for you. I know I'm always going to get a new pass and this way I'm just pre-paying a portion of it. 187.83 is a great savings.

BUT, wouldn't you be able to upgrade the 2 1 day passes to a 7 day? I know you can upgrade passes individually. What I'm asking is that after you got there couldn't you just tell them that you wanted 2 of the 1 day passes to be uprgraded to the 7 day plus & they would use the $63.xx towards that. That way you wouldn't have to lay out the money for the 7 day pass for you now because you already have an AP. So you wouldn't be buying a 1 day pass PLUS a 6 day you'd be using the price of a 1 day towards your purchase of the 7 day. Do you follow? Boy, my head hurts even more now!!
