Ticket sticky?

[MinniesYooHoo]

I have some questions about tickets, current discounts (ApplePay, Discover Card, Disney Visa), and upgrading to AP with currently owned tickets. I can't seem to find this info easily. Does anyone know where I can look to help answer my questions?

The ticket sticky was removed due to parts of it being out-of-date.
(It had no info regarding "ApplePay, Discover Card, Disney Visa," regardless.)

Sadly, Cheshire Figment, long-time author of the ticket sticky, recently passed away.

Please just ask your ticket questions on this board.

Thanks Robo. I had unfortunately heard about Cheshire Figment, but had not known the sticky was that out of date. I remember it being a wealth of information concerning tickets. I guess my questions have mostly to do with upgrading multi-day tickets to annual passes. How does it work? What is bridging? And how does it work with a DVC discount? I've never been in need of annual passes before, but now that we're very new DVC members we're looking at multiple trips a year and realize that AP's will probably be necessary. Any help would be very much appreciated.

1. How does it work?
2. What is bridging?
3. And how does it work with a DVC discount?

1. If you buy your tickets as part of a WDW Resort Pkg. or if you buy them from a discounter (undercover tourist, etc.)
then, USE the tickets at least one time to go into a theme park BEFORE you do the upgrade.

2. Once you use the tickets at least once, they can be upgraded at a price that is the same
as the current gate price for a ticket of the same kind.

To upgrade:
Subtract the full new current gate price of the ticket that you HAVE from the full new current gate price of the ticket that you WANT (AP or otherwise...) then, pay that difference price for the upgrade.

3. No difference. Works the same way as above.
BTW, there is no DVC "discount" AP.
There is a separate DVC AP that is sold at a reduced cost to DVC owners.

Thanks for the post. I too was looking for the prior bridging info today.

I seem to recall others having difficulty bridging a ticket to an AP due to some CM's not being trained. Has it been sorted out? I'm concerned about buying a UCT ticket for bridging to a Gold DVC AP only to have the CM refuse to do the conversion.

Thank you so very much!

1. It's a random thing, so there's no way to know if it's improved or not.

2. If you do happen to encounter any problem, it CAN be fixed, eventually.

Good info to know.
