Can somebody please help me with my math???

Help! I bought 6 day MYW passes (no hopper or WP&M) before the price increase. Bought them directly from Disney (will call). 2 adults and 2 children. Can someone please tell me how much it would be if I want to upgrade to APs after I use one day on my August trip? Not sure how price bridging works into it or even exactly what that means! Thank you so much...my brain is simply not wrapping around the numbers!

If you bought them from Disney (phone, on-line, or at the gate) there is no price bridging done.
You do not need to use the tickets before upgrading (although you CAN, if you like.)

Just subtract the price that you PAID Disney for your 6-day tickets (before the price increase)
from the current cost of a new AP. That's what you'll pay.

The current price of a 6-day MYW ticket is $314 and the current price of an annual pass is $634, so you should pay $320 + tax for each ticket. Price bridging just means that once you use your tickets, the price will be bridged from whatever price you paid to $314, so that you won't be penalized for having purchased them before the price increase.

ETA: I missed the part about them being purchased directly from Disney. Robo is correct (as usual ).

Thank you for the quick responses. Just wondering, though, am I being punished for buying directly through Disney? If I bought, elsewhere they would "price bridge" to the new price though I paid the old price. Having bought from Disney I have to pay the difference from the old price? Am I understanding that correctly? thanks

Yes, that's how it works now. It wasn't always like that, but they changed their policy on Disney direct tickets a while ago. (Note that tickets in packages and from the Disney store are considered third party so they are eligible for bridging. Only tickets separately purchased direct from Disney are really affected.)
