In May I will be going to WDW on a trip that I won. It included a small credit towards tickets from the Orlando Visitor Center. Basically, the credit covered the cost of 1 adult ticket, and we bought an additional adult ticket and 2 children's tickets (all 3 day hoppers). My DD and I will be going back in October with my mom and my niece. Can I exchange our two tickets for a credit toward APs for the two of us (the other two tickets are for my friend and her daughter, who do not need APs)? If I understand correctly, the tickets are coded somehow with the discounted price, so that is what we get for a credit, correct? What about the one ticket that ended up being free - will this still be coded with the Visitor's Center discount rates?
And if I can use these toward the cost of APs - do I have to wait until we arrive to do so? Is there any way to do this in advance? Or to at least find out in advance what the credit will be? Based on the discounted price, it looks like it will only save us about $35 total vs. keeping the 3 day passes and buying new 7 days passes in October, but I can't help but think that if we have the APs maybe we can sqeeze in another trip next winter/early spring if I find good airfare!
