Undercover Tourist Ticket Upgrade

[mcgrawfan]

Hey all! Could someone help me with the math to make sure I'm figuring correctly.
We have 3 day Park Hoppers and want to know how much it would be to add 1 day for a 4 day Park Hopper. We are a group of 5 adults and 1 child. If i understand correctly it looks like it would be $60 per adult per day. Can any experts help out!

Exactly when did you buy the UT tickets?

Exactly when did you buy the UT tickets?

Within the last month or two.

I need to do an upgrade later this month and I reached out to Undercover in a webchat. You will need to use one day then do the upgrade. Once they are activated they get treated as true Disney tickets and upgrades are allowed. They were great to do an online chat with and gave me good information.

Within the last month or two.

Since you didn't say, specifically (2 months is a very wide-open timeframe this time of year when tickets are concerned)
I can't give you the exact numbers.
Sorry.

If you will click HERE you will find the equations to use to determine the cost of upgrading.

Once you decide when the tickets that you HAVE were "minted" (created) by Disney (you may have to contact Undercover Tourist to find out,) you can plug in the right numbers and figure the cost of your upgrade.

1. That is incorrect info.
2. But, what they told you is incorrect.

It doesn't HURT to use a ticket one time before upgrading, but it is not at all necessary, and
does not affect the cost or ability to upgrade.

What DOES matter is when the tickets that you HAVE were "minted" (created) by Disney and sold to UT. That will determine the cost to upgrade your UT tickets.

OK.
Then, you need the info and equation I labelled as "B" in the Ticket Sticky's Upgrade Cost section.
(Reproduced below)

Ticket bought from an Authorized Reseller/Discounter
Ticket bought as part of a WDW Resort Package:
Ticket bought at a Disney Store:
A __ Created BEFORE Feb.12,2017 - (2016) Prices HERE.
B __ Created BETWEEN Feb.12,2017 & Feb.11,2018 (2017) Prices HERE.
C __ Created ON and AFTER Feb.11,2018. (2018) Price list HERE.
_________________________________________

A __________
Find the full Disney 2016 price for the kind of ticket that you HAVE on the 2016 Price list HERE.
Subtract that 2016 price from the current 2018 full Disney price for the kind of ticket that you WANT. 2018 Price list HERE.
Pay that difference price for the upgrade.

B __________
Find the full Disney 2017 price for the kind of ticket that you HAVE on the 2017 Price list HERE.
Subtract that 2017 price from the current 2018 full Disney price for the kind of ticket that you WANT. 2018 Price list HERE.
Pay that difference price for the upgrade.

C __________
Find the full Disney 2018 price for the kind of ticket that you HAVE on the 2018 Price list HERE.
Subtract that 2018 price from the current full Disney price for the kind of ticket that you WANT on the (same) 2018 Price list.
Pay that difference price for the upgrade.

Math for above:

$500.55 5-day park Hopper, Adult (2018)
-452.63 4-day park Hopper, Adult (2017)
=47.92 Current cost to add one day, Adult

$479.25 5-day park Hopper, Child (2018)
-431.33 4-day park Hopper, Child (2017)
=47.92 Current cost to add one day, Child
