Fastpass booking and plans to upgrade tickets

[ozliz]

I think I know the answer to this but want to be sure...

If I buy a ticket for example 6 days then is 6 the limit of how many days I can book fastpasses for? I’m looking at buying tickets with the biggest discount (undercover tourist) and then upgrading the type (eg adding the hopper) or adding days once I’ve actually used the tickets once.

If my understanding is correct then once the ticket has been used once then the upgrade is just the difference in Disney’s ticket prices with no way to check the actual price of ticket paid. Is that correct?

I see the only disadvantage is that if I buy a shorter length ticket and upgrade then I’ll have missed the 60 day fastpass window (staying onsite, DVC). Wondering if the savings might make it worth it anyway. Especially if it is just a day or two shorter than the trip I have planned.

Correct - you can only book FPs for the number of days you have on your ticket.

1. Whether you use the ticket to enter a park before you do the upgrade, or you just do the upgrade before entering a park...
there is no effect on the upgrade price.

2. Correct.

Great. Thanks. Some thinking to do about the value of a day or two of fastpasses.
