Can I upgrade a ticket to AP and not lose FP's on 2 tkts?

I think I can... I think I can.......sorry childhood memory...

I have 2 tickets, 10 day and 8 day, no hop. I get FP's for both when my 60 day opens. I'm staying at 3 different resorts over 15 days. Then when I get to WDW, I will upgrade 8 day to AP. And the 10 day tkt stays in my MDE. I won't lose the FP's on both tickets, right? Or is Disney able to transfer the FP's from the 10 day tkt (not upgraded) to AP?

Maybe I can't.... maybe I can't....( I don't think that's the way the story goes)

1. Upgrading does not drop off pre-booked FPs.
2. Your upgraded AP will also be in your MDE.
3. Right.
4. FPs will not be lost when a ticket is upgraded.

Thanks Robo.

So the FP's on the 10 day ticket that is not being upgraded nor used after getting AP till another trip, will be transferred over to the AP?

Thanks Robo.

FPs are not linked to specific tickets.
FPs are simply booked based on the fact that there ARE tickets (and the number of "days" on those tickets)
linked in your MDE account.

If a guest had six 2-day tickets, or three 4-day tickets, the number of FP+ reservations in either case would be same. (12 "days worth.")

Also, it doesn't matter which ticket is used to enter a park on X day for the FP to work.
So, if a guest has booked 3 FP+ for MK on July 9, it does not matter which ticket is used
to enter MK on July 9, the booked FP+ will still work for that guest.

Cool!! Thanks

I currently have 2 days of park admission from an old pass on MDE. I am about to book a room plus ticket package that includes 3 days of park admission. I will link these to MDE. I, of course, want the old 2 days to remain and the new 3 days to be used for the upcoming trip but wonder how this will actually work. When I scan my Magicband at a park entrance, what will determine which day of park admission is pulled out of the days of I have on MDE? I hope this makes sense!

You will want to stop at a Guest Relations location prior to entering a park and have the tickets prioritized in the order you want them used.

It's been awhile that I have visited! We are in the process of going to WDW in November arriving on the 10th and leaving on the 19th. Our trip would fall before the free dining offer. If we get Park Hoppers for the final 4 days of our trip can we use an 8 day Hopper before the 14th when the offer takes effect? We are looking at staying at the All Star Music but are afraid we will have to either pay extra or double for tickets before the plan begins. Thanks for all of your help!

You can purchase an 8-day hopper with your Free Dining Package.

For those first 4 days at ASM, you won't be able to pre-book FPs when your FP booking window opens.

You'll need to activate your package tickets when you arrive and then book FPs for the first 1/2 of your stay.

The allears link is not working for me. Anyone able to pull up the value of a 7 day PH purchased before the price increase?

If I use the ticket toward an AP, I need to know it's value! Thanks

Hi - I am going to WDW in November with extended family to celebrate my parents 50th! We were fortunate enough to get the Free Dining yesterday. Originally I was planning to upgrade my 6 day PH tickets to an AP (Disney Premier since I live in SoCal). Can I still upgrade to an AP with the FD deal? I am not sure since the deal requires having at least a 2 day PH ticket.

1. Yes.
2. All that is required is that you BUY those tickets, as a MINIMUM.
After you arrive, you can upgrade to anything else you'd like with no penalty.

Thank you so much!! Appreciate all your work with this thread!!

To add another data point to the upgrade discussion, we had pre- 2/12 7-day hoppers from parksavers and upgraded them Saturday to 8-day PH plus and paid $75 and change to upgrade at the CBR concierge desk(the difference between the pre 2/12 value and the curgent price). The CM, who didn't seem too knowledgeable about ticketing, said there was nothing he could do to raise the value to the current price and that the computer dictated the credit for the ticket. I probably should have waited but I had just arrived on a red eye and wanted to make FPs for Hollywood studios for later in the day without losing my late in the week reservations, so I just went with it.

I have a question about AP's. If I bought an AP voucher now, Could I activate it in 2019 for example? Next trip is in 2019 and that would possibly be a year where I can buy AP and get two trips out of it. This is something I'm wondering with Star Wars Land coming around then.

Yes.

DH, DD2 and I are going to Disney next week.

I bought 4 day tickets for DH and myself in February that expire in May. I also purchased a memory maker for 149. We are now planning to return in September for DD's 3rd birthday.

Based on this, let me know if the following makes sense or if it is completely wrong! Any suggestions are also welcome

Upgrade my ticket to AP: 779 ap price - 346 four day base pre-Feb - 149 memory maker = 284

Upgrade DH's ticket to 10 day ph (using 4 days in May and leaving 6 for September): 515 ten day ph price - 346 four day base pre-Feb = 169

Do nothing for DD2, as she will still be two when we go in Sept.

We plan to go to Guest services at DS the day before our first park day to do all of this.

What do you think? Impossible? Feasible? Probable?

Also, do you see any plus for upgrading DH to an AP? A third trip is very, very improbable (but not impossible)

4. do you see any plus for upgrading DH to an AP?

1. I have not checked your numbers. I'm still confused by your question.
2. There is no ticket (other than Florida Resident or AP) that can be used for two separate trips.
Are you Florida residents?
3. Agreed.
4. If you want to use a ticket for multiple trips, the AP is one way to do so.

We are not. Thank you for clarifying! That could have been an awkward moment at guest services. Looks like we will be doing the AP upgrade for DH as well
