Upgrading a Complimentary 1 day ticket / Complimentary 2 day ticket

[huskies90]

Last week, we stayed with my mother in law and (now) step father in law at a Bay Lake Tower Grand Villa for their wedding. They bought tickets for his kids who were also staying in the villa (we are DVC AP holders) and had some issues getting their tickets on their magic bands. To make up for their lost time Disney gave everyone staying in the room a 1 day park hopper with water parks. It is sitting in our My Disney Experience. Our AP’s expire in June and we are planning a trip with my kids over the summer. Can we get the value of the 1 day hopper with water park applied to our AP renewal? In MDE I can also re-assign the ticket to someone else. I assume if I do that, it also can be upgraded?

On a side note, I had a similar problem getting fast passes on my daughter’s 2 day hopper last June. The Guest Relations CM at DHS could not get it them to work so he just issued her a new 2 day hopper although that one is not in MDE. I just have a confirmation number the CM gave me. I assume that can be upgraded too?

I guess I am just asking if these can be upgraded because a 1 day or 2 day ticket doesn’t really help for our next trip over the summer.

In general, "comp" tickets cannot be upgraded. If you have hard tickets in addition to what's showing in your MDE and the tickets have "Comp" or "Complimentary" printed anywhere on them, then they probably just have to be used as is and can't be upgraded or applied to the purchase an AP.

If they are just regular old one-day hoppers with WPF&M then they likely can be upgraded. In this case you would want to use them first to enter a park and lock in the current gate price, then upgrade them. Do NOT use any WPF&M feature before you try to upgrade UNLESS you are upgrading to a Premium AP, as that will be your only option if you use a WPF&M feature before attempting the upgrade.
