Hello!
Since the "All Things WDW Tickets" stickie thread is here, I am posting my question here about bridging tickets.
My family has decided we will be doing a few long trips (5-7 days) and a few weekends this year so we are going to get Annual Passes for WDW. Of course I want to do this the cheapest way possible and have been looking at options and reading up about bridging tickets.
I want to verify that I can do the following scenario:
Buy 6-day Park Hopper + Water Park Fun & More Tickets with No Expiration from UnderCover Tourist for the adult price of $545.25. I can go in Magic Kingdom my first day, enter the turnstile and then go to Guest Relations to convert them to Annual Passes. UnderCover Tourist says they are $65 off the gate price for these tickets, so the cast member would bridge my ticket to be worth ~$610.25 each ($545.25 + $65 to get it to gate price) and then I pay the different of ~$38.34 per ticket to upgrade them? I know we can not use any of the WaterParks & More tickets or we have to get Premium passes, so we won't do that.
Does this look right? In particular, I have the following Questions:
1. Can you bridge or upgrade a non-expiration ticket? I couldn't find that anywhere.
2. Since Annual Passes are the same price for adults or kids, is it ok to get the most savings by buying all 4 tickets as Adults that I will be bridging? (One of my kids will still be under 10.)
3. Does UnderCover Tourist have the "value" difference from Gate Price correct for the non-expiration ticket? I can't compare on Disney's site because they don't show the non-expiration option anymore.
4. Can I pay the upgrade costs with Disney Giftcards? I saw that the ticket stickie said Cash or equivalent, so I wasn't sure if that was considered equivalent at Disney.
Thanks in advance for your help!! I just don't want to screw up when you are talking $2600 dollars!
