Can you upgrade to an Annual Pass over the phone or online?

[todd222222]

Is this possible?

Buy a 5 day ticket.
Use 4 of the days (with 10 days left to use the last day)

5 days later call (or go online) and upgrade your ticket to an annual pass?

Still within the 14 day period and still have a valid day left.

Thanks
Todd

No. You can only do that transaction in person at WDW.

No you have to do it at Guest services. I just did mine 3 weeks ago. I went to Disney Springs. But be careful the CM need to make the pass active the day you make the change. Because the CM tried to go back to the first day I used my pass back in May which is not correct. If you go to Disney Spring plan to wait. I thought it will be a in and out deal its not. PLUS they will let you pay for your new AP monthly. I did that with my son pass.

I thought the date of your AP was suppose to be the first day you used the original ticket? At least that's the general concensus here.

That's the way mine have always been done - expired one year from first date of use, not date of upgrade.

only if you're a FL resident.

It's absolutely correct.

Do you have one of those funky Florida tickets? You must, since your May-use ticket was upgraded in August.

Regardless, the correct exp date would have been the month and day of your first use, not the day you upgraded.

Otherwise, it would not be an "upgrade."
You'd have to pay for a brand new AP.

The way a ticket "upgrade" works is the transaction makes it as though the ticket to which you upgraded was
the ticket that you originally started using.

So, upgrading a ticket first used (2 days ago) (or 2 months ago) is back-dated to "start" on the day that
the original ticket was first used.

Otherwise (again) the transaction would not be an "upgrade" of the original ticket.

That's not to say that a CM can't manually make an error on the date... in your favor, or against.

I did have that issue - in the against column. Unbeknownst to me the ticket was set to expire one year from the date I purchased the pass from CAA. So by the time we went from EPCOT (where I upgraded my 10 day hopper) to MK, my AP had expired.

That was a huge pain to fix - another thing to ensure before you walk away from the guest services counter.
