Upgrading MYW to AP: Will I lose my free dining?

[kalz0ne]

Hey all,

I've looked everywhere for the answer and couldn't find it- sorry if this have already been asked and answered somewhere.

I have a 4 night stay in September (3 Day MYW with Hopper) and 6 night stay in November (5 day MYW with Hopper) and was wondering if I were to upgrade my MYW ticket to an Annual Pass during my September visit would I lose my Free Dining in November?

I called Disney and talked to a nice lady and she assured me that as long as I upgraded after check in and before check out in September that I would not lose my free dining. I asked "that's for September and also November?" and she said yes.

While I do very much like this answer and want it to be true- it seems too good to be true.

Anyone out there able to clear this up for me?

Upgrading to an AP in September with a package has no bearing on a separate "free dining" trip booked in November. But...... You need to change your five day ticket package to a two day ticket package for your November trip and save those tickets for another time since you will already have an AP.

You cannot apply your upgraded AP to your November free dining package. You have to buy the two-day tickets to be eligible for your November free dining. So while you can use the APs in November, you'll still have to buy the extra tickets to use on another trip.

I have a very similar question..... We already have annual passes (expire in Sept.) and will be taking a trip in Sept. and Nov. We are going to take advantage of free dining and put the 2 day tickets towards our renewal.

Say we have the November trip paid off before we go in Sept. Could we also use those 2 day tickets towards our renewal in Sept?

I was thinking maybe not because technically you could still cancel before the 45 days for a full refund? I'm thinking Disney systems are not smart enough to realize you've used part of that money already?

Anyone have any experience with a situation like this?

You must wait until your package dates at WDW to "activate" Resort Package tickets.
The earliest that can be done is 3 days before your package check-in date.

Since the package tickets would not be activated until November, they would not be able to be accessed for use/upgrade in September.
