Can you upgrade the 14 day ultimate to a annual pass?

[Cinderella2006]

We are going in 8 weeks and are planning on a trip next February too but want to stay off site for a change so an annual pass would come in handy. Can this be done and if so does anyone know how much? We are 3 adults, 1 child.
TIA

you can upgrade

note that if you use one of the waterparks/disneyquest/minigomf entry you will need to upgrade to a PAP not just an AP

the number of people in your party is irrelevant, you only need oneAP if you just want free parking and discounts
if you plan a future visit please ignore my remark

regarding price it will depend ... there is no answer
some here have upgraded and have been given different quotes depending on the park and cast member they asked

so you'll need to ask there (disney won't give you any quote until you're at the desk) and if the price doesn't look right try at another park ....

Yes but good luck

I have done it several times and not once has it been trouble free. It always requires far too much effort. The biggest issue is getting a good price for your 14 day ticket as the standard system price always seems really low

From what I've read on price bridging IT seems as though several visits to guest relations are required and you should only buy when you get the right price!

Might be cheaper just to buy the flipping AP outright!

Hey

We were going to buy a 14 day tix and upgrade when we are there too. If people don't mind-how much were you charged (inc tax) for the upgrade? I appreciate that it does depend on the cm at the time. We won't be using the water park fun and more options so it would be for a normal ap. I also appreciate that prices would be different from last year (entry increase etc..)
We are also dvc members so are entitled to get discount on an annual pass. Just wondering if it was worth the hassle trying to price bridge or just buy ap on our first day. We like having our tix in hand tho as it would delay our first day on hols.

Any saving is better than none with 2 little ones!!!

Thanks

Honestly, if you want to save and have no reason to have to buy the UK tickets (such as a free dining package) buy a discounted MYW ticket from Undercover Tourist and use that to upgrade. Choose the tickets with the biggest discount priced lower than the AP you want to upgrade to

If you use it once they will bridge it to current gate price and you will know your exact cost so you can correct them if you are wrong (some CMs forget the bridging step).
