upgrading UT tix to resident APs

[thenewgirl]

How does this work? Can I buy tickets from undercovertourist at a discount and then upgrade them when I go to the parks for a resident AP (assuming I'm a Florida resident, of course)? Would this save me a little money, especially now that the cost of APs have increased today? What amount of money would go toward my AP if I bought, say, a 5 day ticket from UT but then upgraded in June when I actually go?

TIA

How does this work?


1. Can I buy tickets from undercovertourist at a discount and then upgrade them when I go to the parks for a resident AP (assuming I'm a Florida resident, of course)?


2. Would this save me a little money, especially now that the cost of APs have increased today?

3. What amount of money would go toward my AP if I bought, say, a 5 day ticket from UT but then upgraded in June when I actually go?

1. Yes.
2. It can.
3. You must do the actual math and choose which ticket will work best for you.

Here's the deal:

First, find the absolute best deal you can on a multi-day MYW ticket from a reputable WDW ticket discounter.

You will want to choose a ticket to buy from the discounter that offers the most savings, but only on a ticket that costs
(at the WDW gate) LESS than an AP.

Buy your MYW ticket from the discounter.
(Likely the best deal will be on a ticket with a larger number of days on it.)

When you get to WDW, USE your discounted ticket to go into a THEME PARK at least one time
BEFORE you do the upgrade.

THEN, go to any Guest Relations or Ticket Window at the park, TTC, or DTD.

Upgrade to an AP.

Since you have USED a day of your discounted ticket, you will receive the CURRENT GATE PRICE when you trade in your discounted ticket.

So...

You will get to "keep the discount" you got on the MYW ticket, but you will then be buying an AP as if you had paid full current gate price for the MYW you are trading-in.
