please confirm (ticket upgrade?)

[Leigh123]

I currently have MYW PH for 5 days, I paid $341.87, so the current gate price for this ticket is $366.05 If I want to add water park n more, the current gate price for that is $394.14. So I need to go to Guest Relations (after using my ticket once), tell them I want to price bridge my current ticket and is should cost $28.09 per ticket ($394.14-$366.05)????????????

Also, if I am correct, if everything just loaded anew onto my magic band?

It all almost seems to easy and to good to be true. Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds right. From what I was told, you can do that before first use also, the downside is you would lose all FP+ reservations because they would basically refund your old tickets and reissue you new ones. We were told that if we went to GR after checking in they can add it before first use without messing up FP+ reservations.

5-day PH current gate price is $364.00 + 6.5% tax $23.66 = Total $387.66.

5-day PH + WPF&M is $390.00 + tax $25.35 = Total $415.35

Cost to add WPF&M to 5-day PH: $415.35 - $387.66 = $27.69

Changes are made to your Disney ticket account, which you access with your Magic Band. Your MB is a radio receiver, not the actual place data for you is kept. Disney tries to make it soooo easy to upgrade and stay longer. Works for us every time!

Reason to use tickets first is to bring them up to full gate price in a procedure called price-bridging. OP's tickets were purchased at a discount. That discount would be lost if tickets were upgraded before using them. In other words, OP would have to pay for the upgrade, plus the cost difference between his/her discount ticket price and current Disney ticket price. Using tickets first negates having to owe that cost difference, and all that's left to pay for is the new upgrade.

Not all Disney tickets can be price-bridged. Disney ticket booth tickets, Disney online tickets, mail order tickets, will call tickets, cannot be price-bridged. Tickets that can be price-bridged are Disney Resort package tickets, The Disney Store tickets, and third party reseller tickets from AAA, UCT, etc.

No, you would not say you want to price bridge your ticket.

You would say that you would like to 'add hopping" or "add water park fun" or whatever end of sentence, stop talking

It would help if you have in the back of your mind, correction, in the third row from the front of your mind. the grand total of how much you should pay for all the tickets you handed to the ticket agent in one fell swoop because the ticket agent will announce to you the grand total.

You would ask for a breakdown if your number and the ticket agent's number differed. It may take a little longer to understand the breakdown if you handed the agent the tickets for the whole family and some were child tickets.

Actually, if the numbers differed, the ticket agent probably doesn't know how to price bridge, so you should say thanks, leave and try another booth.

FP+ does have a lot of glitches and other issues, but altering/upgrading tickets is not a cause for you to lose your FP+ reservations.
