My experience upgrading Parksavers ticket to AP

[BrownHP800]

I just wanted to share my experience on upgrading my son's 3 day park hopper which we purchased from Parksavers to an AP.

The ticket was linked to his magic band and we went into Disney Springs the day before our park days so the ticket was not used yet.

The CM at guest services scanned his band and said the upgrade would be $448 (roughly). I said that didn't seem right. I knew ahead of time that the cost should be $430 and change.

She clicked a few things and said she upgraded the ticket to gate cost and came up with $430 and change.
So all in all it was a pretty easy deal. She did a good job for us! Much easier than when my wife and I upgraded our UT tickets at Guest Relations at Magic Kingdom in July.

1 tip, just make sure you know the amount of the upgrade ahead of time so you can correct them if they are wrong.

Thanks for the report.
So glad that YOU knew the correct numbers, so you knew when the CM finally got it right!

No way to find out at this point, but it would be interesting to know where that $448 number came from. For parksavers, the discount on the ticket being upgraded was likely more than $18, particularly the wholesale discount, which is all that Disney would know.

There's probably a thread somewhere that could use these data points. Know where it is?

I purchased MYW Parkhopper tickets from Parksavers in July, and on December 6 I was able to bridge them to 13-month Platinum passes at the ticket counter outside Epcot.

Earlier this week, at the guest services counter outside MK, I was able to activate a Platinum Pass that I purchased in July and it is good for 13 months.

This thread is just fine for posting this info.

What happened is exactly the normal and expected procedure.

Glad you had no problems!
