I'm traveling with a friend who isn't sure she will love Disney. We are thinking about getting less days with our MYW tickets. Is it possible to later add days from the hotel and just pay the difference? I thought I had read that somewhere, but I wasn't sure if it was still true.
 
Depending on the length of your original ticket, ) I think it's once you're going over 5 days,) the price to add 1 day is $10.65. Even if you start with a 3-4 day, you can add days, but the additional charge is more. You can do it any time prior to using your last day on the original ticket, but the sooner you add the day, the sooner you can try to scoop up some Fastpasses for that extra day.

1. I think it's once you're going over 5 days,) the price to add 1 day is $10.65.

3. You can do it any time prior to using your last day on the original ticket, but the sooner you add the day, the sooner you can try to scoop up some Fastpasses for that extra day.

1. It costs $31.95 to add a 4th day to a 3-day ticket.
It costs $10.65 to add a 5th day to a 4-day ticket.
It costs $10.65 to add a 6th day to a 5-day ticket.
Same $10.65 per added day, all the way up to adding a 10th day to a 9-day ticket.)

2. You can add additional days to a one-day or two-day ticket, as well.
(The cost is relatively high, but no more than you'd pay if you'd bought a ticket with the
same number of days to begin-with.)

3. You can add a day even after you have used the last day on your original ticket.
The latest that you can upgrade is no later than close-of-business on the same day that
you use the last admission on your original ticket.

Prices quoted include tax.
 

Wow, so I have a party of 6 going. One is 2 years old so he doesn't need a ticket right? We have 5-day tickets. We have a day that we weren't going to a park, but if it's only $50 to add an extra day, we may could use that day to hit up some extra rides.

1. Right.
2. That'll work.

Robo is correct as always.

Wanted to add be aware that with 5-day tickets, you can only make 5 days of FP+ reservations in advance. You can make FP+ reservations on a 6th day after you add that 6th day to your park tickets, and you can only do that at WDW (at guest relations in a park, or ticket window, or resort).

I think this must depend on type of ticket or where bought? In Oct, we bought 6-day base MYW tickets as part of a room+dining package and later called from home and added the 7th day. It was after my original purchase but well before we got to WDW.
 
Our family will be back in the Orlando area two weeks after our Disney trip and right as our 14 days expires on our tickets. We really wanted to do 2 additional days on that 2nd trip but the day after we arrive will be the last day we can use our tickets. We are disappointed but not enough to pony up the money to buy a 1 day ticket to Disney.
 
Can I hijack briefly to ask if this applies to Undercover Tourist-purchased tickets as well? Can we add days from our hotel without having to go to a park first?

The way I have always heard it is, you should use at least 1 day off of those UT tickets before upgrading them. You will lose the saving from the UT ticket if you do it before any days are used. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will be along to explain it better.
 
You can add to UT tickets from the hotel without going to the park, BUT they will only credit you the wholesale value of the ticket so you will lose the savings you got from buying through UT. You will have to make up the difference in wholesale value plus the extra day price. So you are better off using the UT ticket once, then adding a day, at that point, they give you the full value of the ticket and you only pay the $10.65 for the extra day.

Not a package expert, but that makes sense, you should be able to make any changes you want to your reservation, subject to the cancellation policy. In that case you don't have hard tickets in hand, they are part of the package.

Yes, you can upgrade any aspect of a WDW resort package (including adding or reducing the number of day on a ticket) before arrival at WDW. (Making changes less than 45 days before package check-in may invoke a penalty payment, but not usually for INCREASING assets.)

But, if you purchased tickets separately from a WDW resort room reservation, you cannot modify those
until you are at WDW.
