Purchase AP's then Upgrade to PAP's

[Qwackertoo]

I'm going to buy our AP's at the Disney Store today for our trip that starts this Friday. I was tempted to get the PAP's but for 450.00 more for the four of us, I really don't think we'll get to use the water parks this trip and probably not until next October before our cruise. How difficult is it to upgrade well into your 12 months on the AP and I'm assuming the pro-rate it based upon time remaining. With kids we won't be able to do Pleasure Island. Not sure if Disney Quest is worth the 450.00 for this trip if we just used it for 2 evenings during stay.

Any helpful advice??? Thanks!!!

It seems you'll have to count the number of times you expect to visit the water parks and DisneyQuest and do the arithmetic. You can read this: http://allearsnet.com/pl/apass.htm#faq

What if I decide I want to change to a PAP after I already used my AP?

You can do this. It will be handled just like any other pass upgrade. There was a time that you could upgrade your AP to a PAP simply by paying the prorated difference on the remaining time of your AP. (Example: a $120 cost difference translates to $12 per month. If you had 3 months to run on your AP it would have cost you $36 to upgrade to a PAP that would expire when your old AP did.) But there have been reports that Disney will no longer pro-rate an AP for this. If you want to upgrade an AP to a PAP now you will be charged the entire price difference ($120 in the example) for whatever time you have remaining on the AP.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I splurged for the PAP's!! I had talked myself into them and then out of them and finally decided to get them! LOL I also figured if we get to go 3 or 4 times during the year it is great rain insurance for those days that might be otherwise be wasted away!
