Upgrade to annual passes

[EC0323]

Sorry I know it has been asked a million times. I just want to make sure I know what I am doing.

Help please with Disney Math.
I purchased the tickets from Orbitz.

1.so I looked at the Disney website. Annual passes regardless if child or adult is 675.21 with tax.
2. I subtract out the Disney website price for the 5 day ticket park hopper

3. so 675.21- 367.66 = 287.55 left to pay for adults
and 675.21 - 366.36 left to pay for children

4. I go and spend one day the parks and upgrade/"bridge" the tickets.

5. My other option was 10day. But I looked 10 day non expiring are more expensive than annual passes? 330+335=665 plus tax if I read that correctly?

I know I can lower the out of pocket expenses by buying discount gift cards. I just did not want to add too much confusion to my already confusing post.

thanks for helping me!!!!

Yes, correct.

The current most cost efficient ticket for an AP bridge upgrade, at least from the Undercover Tourist site, is the 6 day hopper with water parks and more, non expiring.

Okay, I want to complicate the question a bit. Let's say I buy the 6 day hopper with water parks and more. Let's say I want to go to a water park but I do not want the AP with water parks (just want to go try it out one day). Could I bring my 6 day pass, go to BB one day, go to MK the next and THEN upgrade/bridge to a regular AP? If so, would my entire cost of the 6 day hopper with wp go towards my AP?

I'm quite certain that if you have used any of the waterpark entries, you are no longer able to upgrade to an annual pass. Instead you may only upgrade to a premium annual pass. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

This is correct. If you use a WP day, then upgrading to a regular AP can not be done.

Thank you both!

Thank you for your quick reply. I appreciate the help. I wish I knew about the Ut deal. But I do not think it will turn out to bad for me.

The breakdown with the Orbitz tickets:

1078 for 3 adult and 1 child tickets
so add the balance (278*3 and 308) and subtract out the roughly 10% gift card deals (We cant use the kroger one. We have an electric car.)

It turns out I should spend approx 2138 vs 2700 for the 4 annual passes. Of course I have to do the math correctly. lol
