upgrading tickets

[pigget74]

Just curious if I can upgrade a 4 day park hopper to a 7 day park hopper? Thanks

Yes. You can upgrade pretty much anything. Downgrading ... no.

Understand that when you do this, Disney credits your old days based on what you paid for them when you bought the pass, so it might be more economical for you to use your unused days than apply them to an upgrade. Here is an example from allearsnet.com:

"You have two left over park days from a 7 day PHP ticket you purchased in February 2001 for $325.44. That made your cost per day $46.49 (cost divided by 7). You want to exchange the two remaining days to a new 7 day PHP which now costs $350.40 or $50.05 per day. Disney will give you a credit of $92.98 for your old ticket but will charge you the full $50.05 per day for the new ticket. So you are actually going to pay $7.12 more to use the two days you already had! And if you are upgrading four of these for your family, you are looking at paying an extra $28.28 to Disney for the privilege of using the old days on the tickets. This dollar figure will be higher if you purchased the old ticket prior to 2001. The older it is, the less financially advantageous it will be to you to upgrade them."

I understand this example deals with PHP, but you could apply the logic to your situation.

What about from a 5 day hopper to a yearly pass?????

Also according to allearsnet.com:

"A second scenario to consider comes when you want to upgrade your old PHP's to Annual Passes (AP's). The upgrade will be handled the same way as above but with two important differences. First, the unused plus options carry no dollar value towards the upgrade. Second, any unused plus options will be lost when upgrading to an AP. Now this may not sound like a bad thing since you'll be getting an AP for a whole year's admissions but what should give you pause to think is that turning in two, three or four unused plus options means that you will have to now pay $33.00 for each water park admission you do. That alone could mean you'd be paying another $66, $99, or $132 for water park admissions during the year that you gave away for free when you upgraded the original ticket."

So, the upgrade procedure is the same as indicated in the previous example - if yours is just a PH, then the extra bit about the "plus" options doesn't apply.
