I bought Platinum APs for me and my daughter and we used them Jul '16, Dec '16, and Jun '17. Great value!
A. We have a Dec '17 trip booked and plan to return in Jun '17. In Dec we have our first split-stay packages booked:
POP with 2-day non-hoppers (no dining)
CSR with 6-day hoppers (dining)
I checked AllEars website and it looks like the cost including tax for the 2- and 6-day passes are:
2-day non-hoppers = $211.94 x 2 = $423.88; 6-day hoppers = $495.23 x 2 = $990.46 for a grand total of $1414.34.
The price with tax for the Platinum Pass is $829.64 x 2 = $1659.28.
If my math is correct, I should definitely upgrade to the Platinum APs.
My questions:
1: Is my math correct?
2: Should I do this over the phone before our trip? If so, who do I call?
3: If I do it on property, where? (Guest Services on Main Street was a disaster the first time I bought APs)
4: Does it matter when I do the upgrade?
A. You must mean Jun '18.
1. Problem is, you cannot combine the price of two or more tickets in a single upgrade.
2. I'd call and (try to) cancel your 2-day tickets for the first stay. However, if you DO that, you
won't be able to make advance FP+ reservations for those first two days.
(If you don't cancel these tickets, you can SAVE them for use, or upgrade, or to help pay
for an AP renewal, in the future.)
3. You can go to any Guest Relations at WDW, activate your "Free Dining" tickets two days early, and upgrade to AP at that time.
4. The earlier you upgrade, the sooner you can take advantage of the AP "perks."
