Convert tix with free dining to AP?

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Hi all,

My family and I are traveling to see the Mouse in December and we've booked a package with free dining (regular, not quick serve). We are now in the midst of purchasing DVC banana and would like to upgrade our tickets to an Annual Pass (as we are planning on 2 more trips within a year). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

Karen

Yes it is possible. However, I would wait until the END of your trip after you have used all of your dining credits, then drop by a ticket booth at the entrance of any of the parks. Then tell them you wish to purchase an Annual Pass and use your existing ticket towards the purchase price. This must be done within 7 days after the first time you use that ticket in a turnstyle.

If your DVC sale is final before this time, you should also then be able to show them your DVC membership card and get the DVC price for your AP.

Thank you! I figured it could be done, I just didn't know how!

You also can't do the upgrade at your resort. You must upgrade to AP at a guest services area at a park or at Downtown Disney. Resort front desks do not sell annual passes.

Your package tickets are regular MYW tickets, and can be upgraded to annual passes (or any other regular upgrade) within 14 days of first usage (first usage counting as day #1).

There's no real need to wait until the end of the trip, as your tickets can be separated from your room card at any time by guest services. Waiting until your DVC sale is final, to get the discount, is an excellent suggestion, however.
