One follow-up question... If the last day of your trip is on a blackout day could you upgrade your ticket to a Gold AP on your way out of the park, or no can do?1. Yes.

I don't know.One follow-up question... If the last day of your trip is on a blackout day could you upgrade your ticket to a Gold AP on your way out of the park, or no can do?
Okay, thanks! I’m not planning to do that but was curious.I don't know.
It might even depend on the CM you encounter.
A few years ago, I purchased 10 day MYW tickets for use during XMas Break, then upgraded to an AP Gold pass (not valid during XMas Break) at the end of the trip. I upgraded on January 4th, which was not a blackout date.
If the last day of my trip is on a blackout day, is it still possible to upgrade (I would upgrade before leaving the park on the last day)?
Thanks Robo - I read the first 6 posts of the thread but not the latest onesScroll back up this page by 5 posts (to Post #8,063) for my answer today to this question (such as it is.)
It can be such an odd coincidence for similar (very rare and seldom-asked) questions to just happen to pop up so close together.Thanks Robo - I read the first 6 posts of the thread but not the latest ones
Hi Everyone-
Looking to purchase a FL AP-silver online. I do not have the needed information to verify residency online, but would like to link the AP to my online account to see rates/book FP before going in 2020. Is this possible? Or do I need to verify residency first?
We are going down for one day for MNSSHP on 10/31. If necessary I can verify residency at that point, but will not have DH with me for his verification. We would NOT be using the AP for the 10/31 visit.
TIA for any information.
Yes. You can even do so right outside the water park, then go inside.I feel like an idiot for even asking this and I'm 99% sure the answer is yes but...if I have regular PH tickets, can I wait until the morning (or night before) I want to go to a water park to upgrade them to PH & More?
Yes. You can even do so right outside the water park, then go inside.
Thank you! We only need the upgrade for 1 day and if it rains on that day it'll be a waste of money by upgrading before our trip. Thanks so much.
1. What YOU actually PAID for the discounted ticket does not figure into the cost of upgrading.
2. The value assigned for a ticket in the upgrade process is based on the date on which your older ticket was minted/sold by Disney to the authorized ticket discounter.
3. It does not matter what a CURRENT ticket costs in regarding YOUR older ticket's assessed upgrade value.
(That DOES figure into the final cost of the upgrade... just not in the amount your older ticket is worth.)
4. Only if the CM was correct in assessing the "value."
You can check that for yourself, as I have laid out a set of rules and conditions regarding how much you should expect to get in value in ticket upgrades.
It is fully based on the date on which your older ticket was minted/sold by Disney to the authorized ticket discounter.
These rules, and how to compute the final cost of the upgrade, can be found in Post #6 of the thread on which we are now posting.

I just checked the Post #6 rules and your 2013 5-day Hopper should be worth $435.59 in an upgrade transaction.
Just keep trying.I'm 0-3 with CMs at Epcot on giving me the $435.59 value. I tried at IG, GR in the park, and GR outside the front. 2 of them said $295 - what I paid, one specifically said they couldn't bridge the value to gate. The other said I couldn't use the ticket at all towards an AP renewal.
Any further tips on proper language to use when asking? I'll try a couple other GR spots - I had a good experience with DS spot a few years ago when I went through a bunch of old Plus options that were left on passes.
Just keep trying.
There is no place, in particular, that can offer more experienced CMs, as the compliment of
staffers can change... even during the course of a given day.
Ask to speak with a supervisor if the front-line CM doesn't seem to know the procedure.
It might possibly help if you offer the procedure I outline in Post #6 of this thread.
BTW, Disney staff have no way of knowing what YOU paid for the discounted ticket.
(All they have is a list of what UT paid for the ticket, which is much LESS than what YOU paid for it.)
There have been many posters here on the DIS who HAVE been successful getting the proper
help at a WDW Guest Relations... at any number of locations.
Please keep us posted.
YOU are not doing anything wrong.I wonder if I'm asking the wrong way/using the wrong language. I understand the "minted" concept that Disney has on record - that's probably the record 2 of the CMs have shown me on their screen with the 2013 $295 price. Since post 6 mentions different ticket creation dates and lumps everything pre-Feb 2017, what is magical about 2/12/17 vs 2/11/18 vs 10/16/18 (I assume these were price increases). If Disney has price history for these dates, why couldn't they have data points further back than 2/2/17 - like to 2013 when I purchased my passes?
