question give a day

[50sjayne]

May I upgrade my free one day ticket to an Annual Pass or multi-day ticket?

Yes, you may upgrade the free ticket to another ticket type of greater value within the applicable upgrade window. However, you are responsible for the incremental cost and the new ticket may only be used by you. No changes or refunds will be given. The value of the free ticket may not be used to combine or upgrade with a separate single or multi-day ticket.

So does this mean you have to be there and get your one day ticket, and then take it to get, say, a 3 day multi pass? Or can you buy tickets from Disney ahead of time and apply your free day to the cost if the park hoppers?

I would like to know how this would work also. I just signed up for Give a Day, Get a Day

According to the info on the Give a Day, Get a Day web pages, you will receive a voucher for your volunteer work. Once you get your voucher, take it to DLR. You turn your voucher in at the ticket booth for your 1 day ticket.

Now you have a 1 day 1 park ticket.

If you want to upgrade another ticket type, you would do so at that point. They will credit you the cost of a 1 day 1 park ticket.

Yeah I looked around, seems this is the way that works. Very cool.
I still am a little curious if you can upgrade to a park hopper pass from a one day ticket just for Disneyland.

Here is my question. We are planning on getting the kids price tickets. Will they let you upgrade the voucher towards the kids promo hopper?

You can't upgrade to any promo prices, it has to be the gate price, which in the end makes it almost not worth it.
The promo for a 3 day is 149.00, and gate is 204.00.
Take the 204 and subtract your $72 one day, and you get 132.00, which is only a $17 savings.
I already did my volunteer thing and then figured out the math, and am thinking of just getting the fast passes with it because we are going during a busy time.
I planned on getting 4 day passes, which are $161 promo, gate is $229, which with the $72 upgrade only gives me a $5 savings! Not really worth it - Id rather not have to stand in some lines!

Where do you find gate prices?

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

I found them at disneyland.com under tickets.

Great point about the promo prices being cheaper than upgrading to hoppers.

I THINK that if you wanted to get hoppers (for Magic Morning) and later upgrade THOSE to an AP, the "free" ticket might be the best way to get that, as your "gate" tickets would have more credit than the "promo" tickets. But I can't be certain.

I'm planning to volunteer too (I signed up for something in February), but I'm not certain what I'll use the credit for (if I'm able to go in May as planned). I do have a day blocked out on my AP, so I was figuring to use it for that, but then if I want to hop it's an extra $25, it looks like. I guess it's not worth paying an extra $20 (?) to buy a blockout ticket and then to get the FPs or pins, but I guess I'll have to hear how good the FPs are/see how busy the park is, and see the pins. :#/ (Or just not hop, but I'm not sure we'll be able to see World of Color before that Saturday blockout date, and I don't really want to spend the whole day in DCA. :#/ )
