What should I do? Can you change an AP to a FL resident AP?

I hope someone has been in this situation before or someone may have a helpful suggestion. My DH & I are going to WDW for two days after Thanksgiving. We have not bought tickets yet. We are actually moving to Orlando in February and of course are going to buy FL resident AP! I don't know what to do with buying tickets for our two days in November. Should we just buy our tickets for the two days and then turn around and buy the AP's in February...or is there some way to by a regular AP now and be refunded when we become FL residents? I don't want to spend any money we don't have to and I know the FL AP's are going to cost a lot out of our pocket at one time...even though it is really worth it in the long run!

No they will not refund the difference if you buy it now. When I was in that situation I just bought a regular AP. I more than got my money back for all the times I went.

I think the only thing you can do is to buy a regular AP now and then when renewal time comes around use the FL resident renewal price. I know they will not give you back the difference later.

another option that no one has mentioned is you could buy a multi day ticket hopper or not with the non expiring option. When you move to FL you could apply the unused value toward your FL Resident AP. The only question with that would be what date they would make be the anniversary date on the AP. For AP's they normally would use the original first date of use. If that is the case for the Resident pass you would still get the FL resident rate when you do your "upgrade" and avoid paying the full non-resident price. Not quite a refund but still will get you your AP at the Resident price.
