Ticket Upgrade Question (to AP)

[Forevryoung]

Ok, DBF and I are going for his first trip. I want to buy the tickets online to save money as I have done in the past.

I would like to go back to Disney this summer during a solo road trip so I either want a 10 day no expiration pass (park hopper and water parks) or an AP. I want to purchase the passes (for DBF at least) at the beginning of December as our trip is at the beginning of January.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe that if I buy an 8 day no expiration pass with all the add ons (from undercovertourist) and decide closer to (or during) our trip which option I want (either 10 day or AP), as long as I don't use the water park and more option prior to upgrading I can upgrade to the AP??

I know I can upgrade to the 10 day as it is the same pass just more days.

Is there a better way to do it? Suggestions?

Go ahead and buy the discounted passes before your trip.

Use at least one day of your major theme park admissions (but you are correct don't use any WPF&More admittances) .. and then if you choose, upgrade yours to an AP within 14 days of first use.

Remember, your AP won't get you into a waterpark or PI with the DBF .. you'd need a Premium AP for that.

More info from the always knowledgeable Cheshire Figment..

An upgrade to an Annual Pass or Premium Annual Pass follows basically the same rules as any other upgrade of MYW tickets.

Note that any upgrade requires a cash (or cash equivalent) payment and can only be done on a one to one basis. You cannot combine the value of more than one ticket. In other words, if you had a six day base ticket and a one day base, you could not add the value of both to end up with an AP, even with additional payment. If, however, you have three tickets and are paying to upgrade each of them, this can be done on one transaction.

Any upgrade must be done at WDW at a location with access to the Automated Ticketing System (ATS). Basically this is any park (including water park) ticket window or Guest Services location, or one of the Downtown Disney Guest Services locations. The Lobby Concierge staff at the Resorts are not able to handle any AP transactions.

Guests are able to upgrade or modify their MYW tickets any time within 14 days of first use, regardless of whether the No Expiration Option is purchased. After 14 days no ticket modifications or upgrades may take place.

If the MYW ticket has been used, the expiration date of the AP will be set to one year from the date of first use of the ticket being upgraded. If the ticket has not been used, the expiration date will be one year from the date of the upgrade.

When upgrading to Annual Pass, if the Guest's original ticket included Water Park Fun & More Option, and any part of that option was used, then the Guest may only upgrade to the Premium Annual Pass. If none of the WPF&M options were used then upgrading may be done to a regular AP.

A Florida Resident who is upgrading a "Play Three" or "Play Four" ticket may do the upgrade any time within six months of the date of first use. The Florida Resident will also have the option of a Seasonal Pass, as well as an AP or PAP.
