Discount Ticket Upgrade w/ math?

[kim_o]

I understand the concept, but can someone check my math so I really understand this

7 day + hopper + water + NE (from UT) = 446.95
7 day + hopper + water + NE (from Disney) = 453
AP = 489

489 - 453 = $36 + tax = 38.34 to upgrade

making AP ticket = 446.95 + 38.34 = 485.29


Is this right or am I missing a step?

Looks right to me as long as you quoted all the figures correctly. Is there a particular part you're confused about (since I'm sure you can check your own math as easily as me, I think I might be missing the real question)!

I guess I don't completely understand the intermediate ticket portion. After 1 day is used, (for example on a 7 day ticket, with 6 days left), Disney will credit you the price for the original 7 day ticket, or would you just be credited for the 6 days you have left?

The big thing I see is the 7 day ticket you are quoting includes the water parks and more option but you are comparing to the regular AP and not the premium AP which is $619 plus tax.

I had interpreted in the sticky about tickets, that if you bought a ticket with the water park option and didn't use any water park entries at upgrade time, you could still upgrade to an AP. But, if you used a water park entry, you could only upgrade to a PAP? Did I interpret that wrong? (That would be a critical thing to know before purchasing the tickets ;-))

You are always credited for the total number of days, not just the unused portion. However, the date of first use of a ticket does not change...which for an AP means that the start of the 1 year starts from the day you first used the original ticket, not when you do the upgrade.

The "use first" idea is that Disney (if you get a CM who knows what they are doing) will give you the full gate price of the original ticket in credit, NOT the purchase price, if the ticket has already been used. If you have not used the ticket yet, you only get the purchase price (and thus lose any discount you received on it).

You interpret it correctly. So long as you don't use a WPFM option, you can upgrade to the standard AP.

I would have said what Doc said, but he already did!

If you have not used any of the WPF&M option but have used the ticket to enter one of the major parks the ticket will have the $453 value. The difference between that and the $489 of the AP is $36 plus 6.5% tax.
