Hi all,

thinking of upgrading our 10-day base tickets to APs this year. If I do that, what will be the first day (and therefore expiration date) on the AP? The day I upgrade it, or the day I first use the 10-day base ticket? Might make a difference on whether I upgrade at the beginning or end of our 15-day trip.

Thanks!
 
The rule is it will be the first day the ticket that is being upgraded was used.

That said sometimes CM forget to backdate the APs, and you can get an extra day or two. But don't count on it.

Generally because of the discounts for AP Holders, upgrading as soon as you can is the best bet.

1. The rule is it will be the first day the ticket that is being upgraded was used.

1. Agreed. Otherwise, it would not be considered an "Upgrade of an existing ticket."

2. Yup.
 

Do you just take your tickets to the Will Call window? Or elsewhere to upgrade?
