Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

Hi , 21 day ultimate ticket , can you upgrade to annual pass, do you know a cost and will all the FP booking remain intact. Thanks

Upgrading Ultimate tickets purchased currently:

Subtract the price of the 14-day or 21-day (whichever purchased) Ultimate Ticket
from the current price of the AP that you want. (Current AP prices HERE.)
Pay that difference price for the AP.

(If you USE any Water Park, etc. assets before upgrading, AFAIK, you must buy the AP that includes Water Parks.)

FPs will remain after upgrade.

If you buy Park Hopper Plus passes, and want to upgrade to an AP do you have to upgrade to the Platinum Plus AP? I only want the Platinum AP. TIA!

If you USE any of the "Plus" Water Park, etc. assets before upgrading, you must buy the AP that includes Water Parks. (Platinum Plus.)

if you do NOT use any of the "Plus" Water Park, etc. assets before upgrading, you can choose to upgrade to EITHER type of AP. (Platinum or Platinum Plus.)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question - we have 5 day park hoppers purchased before last year's price increase. I think before there were peak days and regular days. We arrive 5/5 and see that the weekend days are peak days - will this cause us any problems with our tickets entering the parks on those two days?

There are still no “peak” days (etc) for multi-day tickets.
Your tickets will work just fine.

Thank you very much - eased my mind with a month to go!

I dont know if this was asked but, I can get discounted park tickets through my employers perks option. If I do that, can that ticket be upgraded to an AP?

Here is why I am looking at AP. Please let me know if it would be worth all the hassle.

We are planning on staying at DoubleTree Disney Springs this Oct/Nov for 13 nights. And want to have a car. So I know there is a charge to park at the parks (minus waterparks). So that would be a saving with AP, right?

I do have a reservation at All-Star Movies for that time incase room-only discounts come out. But does an AP holder get free parking at the resorts since now there will be a charge? My reservations were made March 21st. I domt know the accurate date for cutodd on that.

We are not planning on table service meals, just quick service. I looked at the list of discounts...now its 10% most places instead of 20%. Is there an 18% gratuity added to quick service places too? That would be dumb imo since counter service really isnt doing much....18% is quite hefty.

If I were to get an annual pass, is there a good chance I could get a discount on our room for this year?

And does an AP give you discounts on the rest of the park tickets for the fam...to be worth getting thru disney versus my work perks?

My DD and I might return to disney next Summer end of June most likely so if I get the pass...and use it for our fall trip, I can jse it in June, right?

Sorry for so many questions....I just want to make sure this would be a great savings for us.

No tips at CS.
No regular park ticket discounts for AP.

Question about activating an AP.

My daughter and I are driving up and bringing daughter's friend (13 years old) Friends parents have purchased her an AP and she has the email confirmation. Is it possible for her to activate her ticket without her parents there? The email makes me think not, but the parents aren't coming with on this trip so I was hoping there was a way to do it without them there at the time.

Thx

Bring the (mom’s) credit card that was used to buy the AP.
You can show it to the CM at the booth.

Question about AP exp date

I have a reservation checking 6/5-6/9 My AP expires 6/6 . I'm supposed to make my fast passes tomorrow morning. Will I only be able to make fast passes for my 6/5 and 6/6 and not my other 3 days? I would go ahead and renew it now but I think I can only renew 30 days in advance is that right?

1. Will I only be able to make fast passes for my 6/5 and 6/6 and not my other 3 days?
2. I would go ahead and renew it now but I think I can only renew 30 days in advance is that right?

1. Yes.
2. Nope. You can renew up to 60 days in advance (or even earlier.)

(I wish you had asked this question about 2 days earlier.)

 

[Kathy Jetson]

Well I just called them and they said I can only renew 30 days in advance did I just get someone who didn't know what they were talking about?

What phone CM wouldn't know the correct answer to that basic question?
======================
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/passholders/standard-discount/
"Annual Passes can be renewed up to 60 days before and 30 days after expiration."
======================

And, under certain circumstances, you can be allowed to renew earlier than 60 days in advance.

As I said, I wish you had asked this question here a few days earlier.
We could have gotten it straightened out in advance.

That's about as link-headed a phone CM response as I have heard in years on these boards.

Thank you so much! She was very adamant about it too. I'll call them in the morning to renew it. Will I be able to make fast passes as soon as I renew it?

Can't you renew now, online (assuming you are not applying the value of an unused ticket in your account to renewal)?
