Question about upgrading seasonal passes.

[Mom21]

I know there is at least one or two people here that know about tickets and pricing. I am a FL Seasonal passholder. I always stay onsite. Unfortunately this weekend my dd has a competition and we are not staying onsite. We are extending the weekend and going to Disney for 4 days. So I have to pay for parking. I know the cost of upgrading will be more but trying to decide what extra benefits I would get in addition.

So do you pay a prorated price or would I simply pay the $120 difference for the entire year difference?

If it is prorated I may get my dd's upgraded ( she is 13 so adult price also) as she uses it to go with her father and he lies to get into the park without paying for parking. It bugs her a lot.

My dd's pass was bought 8/15/09 and valid 8/15/10

My pass was purchased 9/20/09 and valid until 12/22/10. If I upgrade mine will I lose my extra 3 months?

Sorry for the questions. I normally know Disney quite well, but I've never thought about tickets. We just get the Seasonal every year and stay onsite. Also the time isn't an issue as we never have even considered going at the high seasons.Thanks.

One last question. If I upgrade for this year but then decide to go back for the seasonal passes next year will I get the renewal price on the lesser ticket or will I have to pay full price?

1. There is no prorating. You would pay $120 plus tax. However, if your current SP is a renewal you would only pay $113 plus tax.

2. The expiration date will not change.

3. You may upgrade or downgrade at renewal time and pay only the renewal price of the new pass.

4. Since your daughters SP expires August 15, as long as it is renewed between July 16 and August 31 she will get 15 months instead of 12.

Thanks CF. So to save $56 in parking would cost me $120. I just can't think of any other benefit that would make it worth it. Good to know about my dd's ticket. I will be renewing for her in August. Last question. Can I use an unused ticket towards the cost of her renewal or does it have to be a new pass? I have 4 of those 1 day tickets sitting here from past free dining. If I could use 1 towards the renewal that would help. Also if I can't and I just use it to buy her an all new seasonal pass does the 15 months still apply? It will be in August.
