Hi,

We are Florida Residents and are going on our first Disney trip next month. I bought the MYW 1 day ticket to get the Disney Dining Package. My plan is to upgrade (I was told I could) when I get there to the 3 day $120 tickets (no hopping) Here is my question-

We are only going to use 2 days of those 3 day tickets. I plan on going back in Dec. for the MVMCP and use the other one at that time. Instead of doing this can I then upgrade to seasonal passes for another $100 or so dollars more? Or maybe even annual passes?

Are there any perks to seasonal passes? What about annual? Do you then get another discount when it comes time to renew?

:thanks:
 
In my opinion, I would use the day then get aa seasonal or annual pass. Once tickets are used I believe the days left over are prorated when you turn them in.

FL. Res annual Passholders get free parking. ( Seasonals do not. )
I also do not know if the seasonals get the dining and shopping discounts.

Here are some pages on all ears that should help.

Also yes you get a discount when you renew.
 
I bought the 3 day ticket for $120 and then upgraded to a seasonal. The seasonal though was backdated to the first day I used my 3 day ticket. Just wanted to make you aware of that.

when debating which to get, the Annual or Seasonal...remember the price of parking has just gone up to $10. If you are not staying onsite, you will have to pay with the Seasonal. In just 10 trips there, it has paid for itself. I am thinking of upgrading mine to an annual..just mine, not the kids.. only for the free parking. Most of the time I do stay onsite, but I know I have stayed offsite at least 10 times in the year.. but have gone with others that had the annual (so we got the free parking anyway).
 
OMG! I was just debating with my hubby over this dilema! Fl. resident here as well. We leave TODAY for a few days and we were thinking about the 3 day pass upgrade to a seasonal when we return in Dec, (how funny!)
Manhatten....you answerted my debate....unfortunately you made my hubby win! Ugh! :rotfl2:
