Make sure you purchase your tickets or upgrade your AP before this weekend

[AFwifelife]

Uh oh, that doesn't bode well, how high was the increase?

$196 to $226

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Wow, 15% is a pretty hefty increase

We’ve been using them since 2011. I think they were about $150 for a 4 day which was a way better discount than FL resident discounts (which we are with the HOR). I don’t know how the DVC discounts work but we will be getting the FL APs this year because we are finally stationed close enough for them to be worth it.

How have you purchased them in the past?

Wow

Through a nearby base’s ITT center. The base we were at didn’t have one but the other bases will mail them no problem. Or you can purchase from Shades of Green or even the ticket booth but you will pay tax there.

Need them 61 days out. My plan is to try Shades of Green and have them Shipped.
I saw a form somewhere that they can sign to attest to being active duty.

We have five-day passes we need to upgrade for our trip in June. As far as I can tell, we have to do that in person. So I’m hoping the upcharge isn’t too painful. I’d calculated it before and figured it would be around $775 to upgrade five passes to 7 day park hoppers (I don’t even remember when I bought these, but the value should be set at the cost when the increase went into effect last year and they added expiration dates). Really hoping it’s not an extra $150 after this weekend.

Not precisely true.
The value should be set at the cost JUST BEFORE the increase went into effect last year.
(That is the case for upgrading CURRENTLY.)
When the next increase occurs... ??

Sorry - that’s what I meant just didn’t read my post over well enough before I posted. I looked at the link for those prices (before last year’s increase) and that’s where I came up with the $772 and change.

Sounds right.
(This ticket stuff is a web of DETAILS!!!)

I am assuming yes on 2/11 it would be too late. Any ticket window can help, not sure on every guest relations though.

Anyone have an idea of how much APs usually go up?

This was the last increase.

We arrive in 2 weeks and currently have a package booked. Can I upgrade to AP online or via phone or will I be stuck doing it in person and incur the increase?

If everyone in your party wants an AP, you can call and change the tickets.

Wow

No, $196 was the 2016 price.

We'll just talk about 4-day, since there was no 5-day option in 2016.

2016 - $196
2017 - $209 - 6.6% increase
2018 - $226 - 8% increase

Not bad, in my mind.

I have a question:

I booked a room-tickets package for October.
I’m thinking if changing the length of tickets from 7 day to 6, will I be charged the new higher ticket price if I make that change?

Thanks.

 

[CarrieR]

If you want to drop a day?

If it’s part of a package and you call now, current prices.

If you try to do it at the gate - a) I’m not sure you can (you typically can not downgrade) and b) whatever the price is that day. Which could be higher than your current 7d price - so you could theoretically pay more to do less?

My googling failed me.

Any change to a package will result in paying the higher price for the tickets, this includes adding discounts, dining plan and ticket changes, etc.
