Upgrading/adding park tickets at check-in?

[Tracey1974]

We will be staying at Pop in less than 2 weeks and I wanted to see if it was possible to add an extra day or so to our tickets and add the no expiration on them.

Right now we have 4 days in the parks, but I wanted to buy another 2 more days and add the no expiration so I have an excuse to come back again!

Yes, you can, but the no-expiration option is fairly pricey. You need to add enough days to your ticket so that it will be enough days to completely cover your next planned vacation. You can only upgrade your ticket one time (within 14 days of first use) so make the most of it. The more days you add, the less they cost each, so there's only a few dollars' difference in adding 4 days and 5 days. If it were me, I'd max out the ticket to 10 days non-expiring, and have enough days for at least one more trip.

Hope this helps!

Thanks very much for that- does it matter that our trip is only 5 nights, 6 days? Can I buy more park days than my original stay?

I just did this but I have a warning! Bring picture ID!!! I went to guest services at Magic Kingdom for a dinner reservation our first night in a thunderstorm. I asked to pull all 4 one day tickets (have done it twice) and convert them all to annual passes. THe CM said can I see your photo , room ... I carry my passes in a lanyard and do not bring photo ID only because of the risk of losing it and not being able to get back on the plane. I needed to speak to a manager, show 2 other cards with my name and he reluctantly did it. Save yourself the wasted time..Carry it the night you are going to upgrade!

Your length of stay doesn't matter - you can buy up to 10-day passes (or even upgrade to an annual pass). Disney will sell you whatever length of pass you want - they want you to come back!
