Undercover Tourist Tickets

[daver]

It seems like this is a good spot to get tickets for advance purchase, but has anyone bought the tickets there and then say upgraded to no expiration... any problems?

Personally, I've never done it, but I've heard of people doing this so often that I doubt there is a problem. The one suggestion I've heard is to use the ticket first and then go in the park to convert it (i.e the same day, the first day ... although this part might be wrong), that way you get credited with the gate price!

Have you considered buying the no expiry ones from undercovertourist or are you just see the change as an option?

We've used UT- great service. You pay the price posted, unlike some secondary ticket sellers who hide tax, and shipping fee until you go to check out. And sends you vouchers, not real tickets.
UT doesn't charge for shipping, tax is incl in the price posted, and they send real tickets.

We upgraded our tickets to an AP after using the ticket once or twice. As long as there are days left on the ticket, you can upgrade it while you're there.

Thanks Ted,
It is purely economics as we need to buy 3 -10 day tickets, so paying about 60% now and the other 40% when we get there made sense.

Thanks Sue for the info.... I have hear dthey are good, and while it says on their webpage you can upgrade... I always feel better hearing from others who have done it. I asked at CAA, and they said you could not upgrade... although I think you probably can (extra $$ for Disney), I'd rather be safe than sorry.

UT is good. I've only ordered from them once but got the tickets with no problems and was able to upgrade to an AP. As Sue M said use the ticket first prior to doing the upgrade to lock in the gate price when you upgrade.

Another thought, if you are upgrading to the 10 day non-exp, why not look into upgrading to an AP? If you plan on returning within the 365 days? With an AP you can (depending on time of year) get extra room discounts, and also merchandise discounts too.
Some years we've gotten 3 trips on 1 AP Jan/Aug/Jan!

I've used UT on three occasions, the latest being a couple of weeks ago. Service is always great, I got the tickets within a week of ordering.

If you like water parks, its about $50 to add the WPFM option. It adds 10 (Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Disney Quest, 9-hole golf) admissions to your theme park days. You can continue uing these after the theme park days are used up.

LOL ... I was going to post the same thing. That heavy price to upgrade to non-expiry doesn't seem so bad when I know I have 10 water park days that are good forever. We just finished using up the water park days on our first 10 day non-expiry, so we still have 10 left on the ones we are currently using. The remaining theme park days will be gone in one trip, but the 10 water parks will likely last us for YEARS and YEARS !

Lol, we have unused water parks already, that's why we aren't buying them this time. We will only be in the parks about 3-4 days, but will bbak again prob in 2014. We have DVC so room discounts aren't necessary.
