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

A. You have 7-day base tickets. They (adult) cost $410, plus tax. That averages out to $58.57 per day, plus tax.
B. They average out to $79 per day, plus tax.
C. As you can see... no.

I knew I was going to feel dumb. Oh, well. Thanks, Robo, you're the best.

The most likely possibilities are that it will be:
(1) $15+tax (cost to upgrade from a current value 7-day PH to a PH plus); OR
(2) $64.96 (the difference between the current price of a 7-PH Plus (532.50) minus the value of an "old" 7-day PH (467.54).

We'll be there in less than 3 weeks and will certainly report back on our experience trying to go from a 7-day PH to an 8-day PH Plus.

You will be my hero if you do. <3

I currently have a split stay booked, Yacht Club for 4 nights with 10 day MYW Park Hopper ticket package no summer room discount because not available, AK 2 nights room only summer room discount, and CR 5 nights room only summer room discount. If I'm doing my math correctly, it seems that by changing my Yacht Club reservation to room only with the summer room discount, which is available when not combined with tickets, and purchasing my tickets through Mousesavers I would save a little over $500. I see that those Mousesaver tickets can be linked to my room, so is there any disadvantage to this or reason I shouldn't? I just want to be sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks!

No disadvantage at all. The only thing you loose out on with purchasing tickets from a reseller is free dining. Since that's not in your plans, what you wish to do is no problem at all. It's actually much better as you won't have to worry with activating tickets early or any of that. The tickets will be available for use as soon as you arrive, you won't have to do anything (since you've already linked them to MDE for FP)

Great, thanks. I'm assuming, could be wrongly, that since there's summer room discounts for our time period, there won't be a free dining offer. Are we still able to make FP reservations 60 days out as long as I have the Mousesaver tickets purchased and linked by then?

Thanks for this thread, Robo! I just read through most of it and I think I found my answer in the last few pages, which is basically that no one knows yet

My question is that I am wondering how much it might be if, when we go in October, we want to add a day or two days or the hopper option to our 5 day MYW base tickets that we bought from UT prior to the new ticket change (some bought recently and some bought a few years ago). I understand that the hopper option is one price regardless of days on the ticket, but I don't know what that price is.

Robo, not sure if this has been asked or not, but can't find it anywhere, if I were to buy a race package from a travel agent which requires a 2 day base ticket, would I then be able to exchange it up for a 4 or 5 day military tickets, i believe the cost isunder so I should only have to pay the difference, but wanted to see if you had ever seen this. thanks

This is awhile ago, so things may have changed, but in 2009 we got a free dining package which required a 1 day ticket. We took those 1 day tickets to guest services at Downtown Disney and upgraded them to the military salute tickets for the price difference (salute tickets cost more than the 1 day).

But, back then it did clearly say that you could buy the salute tickets at guest services.

Hey everyone! If someone could help me out with this, I would be so appreciative! I remember last year, or maybe at some point in 2016, WDW offered a special ticket purchase for AP holders.. does anyone remember when that was? And does anyone know if they have anything like that now, or any sort of deal of purchasing tickets as an AP holder? My husband and I both have them, but my daughter doesn't since she was 2 last year. We are attempting a last minute trip before our APs expire next month, and now have to obviously purchase tickets for our daughter. I can't seem to find anything about deals and whatnot, so I figured maybe someone on here knows. TIA!

Last year was an anomaly as it was the 45th anniversary and they did several promos for AP holders centered around that. Not sure you can expect them again, sad to say.

Thanks. I wish they would've extended it through this year, like they have with some of the other perks.

I am planning to have Florida resident Grandma buy my daughter a Gold AP when we are all on property together.

1) If I want to maximize savings, can I buy a ticket through a place like undercover tourist and upgrade it to a FL-resident type AP?
2) Will there be any issues bridging to the gate price as the value rather than what I paid for it?
3) Can we upgrade her ticket to the Florida AP at the TTC or do we have to go to a Guest Relations spot?

Thanks!

If I buy a 4 day (with 2 extra days) ticket from UT, is that a 6-day ticket in the eyes of WDW upgrade, or only a 4?

Regardless of how UT markets it, it's a 6 day ticket.

You're welcome! When are you upgrading? I am really curious to see how it goes for people. I plan to do it in November.

There is no question you'll get credited for a 6 day ticket.
The question is, how much value you get, pre Feb or post Feb

The upgrades of CURRENT third-party (Undercover Tourist is one) tickets (those that have an expiration date of Dec. 2018) will not be an "unknown issue."
Just subtract the WDW price of the same kind of ticket (that you HAVE) from the WDW price of ticket that you WANT.
Pay that difference.
(Same as always.)

=================
What is the current "unknown" is how to figure the cost of adding "days" or other upgrades (other than to AP) to tickets that were purchased
and minted before Feb. 12, 2017.
