How do I do this and can I?!

We will be going to WDW May 30th - June 9. We originally were suppose to get there on the 31st. We have our GAD vouchers and we are upgrading to 10 day WP&M + hopper. My question is can we activate them on the 30th at the TTC and then go to Disney Quest instead of entering a park? I know there is probably an answer to this question somewhere but I can't find it! Thanks in advance

Technically no, you can't do it. The terms of the GAD program are that you get a 1-day base ticket, and that ticket MUST be used for admission to a park that day. After that, you are free up upgrade it as if it were any MYW ticket.

You COULD get the ticket, walk into the park, walk out again, then upgrade the ticket and go to DQ. However, it will cost you 1 park day.

Thank You! I figured as much but hoped I was wrong! I guess we will be waiting until the 31st to upgrade the vouchers as we will not get to our resort until around 3:00p on the 30th. Thanks again!

Even without going to Disney Quest you will find plenty to do. You can go to Downtown Disney and do shopping and have dinner or explore your resort. Either way plan on getting to bed early so you can hit the parks running the next day!

However, what you can do is in two steps.

Save your DQ tickets and receipt.

After you have gotten your GAD ticket and used it and upgraded to the ten day hopper you should be able to apply the DQ ticket to add the WPF&M to your ten day ticket and only pay the difference between the price of the DQ ticket and $52, which is the cost for WPF&M (plus tax on the difference).

At the water parks we will routinely do this with used wp tickets added to MYW to have the new ticket have APF&M.
