Upgrading Tickets to No Expiration After Starting to Use Them..

[Disney13Scott]

Can you upgrade your tickets to No Expiration after you begin to use them? We are getting 10 day tickets and say we get a week into the vacation and realize we are going to have 2-3 days unused, can we still upgrade? If so, it would be the full amount we would have paid for upgrading when we got the tickets, right? Thanks for your help!

yes you can still upgrade up say you use 5 of the 10 days before you upgrade, you still would have to pay for the upgrade on the 5 days you already used. so if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 days it may not be worth it. aleast this is what i have read every where i have looked for this info. here is a good link

If I remember right, the price is $55 regardless of the number of days. I don't know if you can upgrade after they've been used, but I don't see why not.

Yes, you are welcome to upgrade any Magic Your Way Ticket by add days or options anytime before the ticket expires (14 days from first use.) Simply go to Guest Relations at any of the major theme parks or at Downtown Disney. You do need to upgrade the ticket in person, as upgrades cannot be handed by phone or mail. When adding the No Expiration Option, you do pay the full cost of that option for the original number of days on your ticket, regardless of how many day may have been used.

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

While the price stays the same for adding plusses or hopping, adding the no-exp option varies.

From allearsnet:
All Magic Your Way tickets will carry an expiration date of 14 days after first use of the ticket. There is an add on available to allow the unused days to be good forever. This add on MUST be purchased to avoid having the ticket expire. Prices for this add on range from $10 for the 2 day ticket to $100 for the 10 day. The no expiration add on can be added at any point before the ticket expires but you will pay based on how many days the original ticket was for, not how many days are left. Same goes for the Park Hopping and Plus Pack add ons. They may be added at any time within 14 days after first use of the ticket but will be charged at the full rate of the add on regardless of how many unused admissions remain on the ticket. The add ons (PH, Plus and No Expiration) are priced on a *per ticket* cost, not on a per day cost. You may do the add ons at any Guest Relations location in the parks or DTD or at the Guest Services window at any Disney resort.

Cheers.

What if you were to buy, for example, 4 Day Magic Your Way ticket with No Expiration from the get-go. Then after a day or two, you decide you want to add 5 more days on to your pass. Are these additional days covered under your original no expiration? If not, do you pay the 5 day rate or the 9 day rate to get the rest of them covered?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing!

Aaron, once you purchase the "No Expiration" option, you are required to keep it on any future tickets upgrades that you may do. This means that in most cases, it is important to do your homework and make the best purchase decision the first time, instead of flying by the seat of one's pants. I'm sure you were just making an example for the sake of argument, but how could you really have not known that you might need four extra days? Why would you purchase the No Expiration option on a 4-Day ticket that you knew you would be using all of the days on, and then some?

I advise guests to wait until the end of their stay to determine whether or not to add the No Expiration option...being careful to explain to them that if/when they do come back to do that, they will still pay the price for the original amount of days rather than only the ones they have remaining.

Also remember that (using your scenario) the Magic Your Way tickets ALLOW you the flexibility to be able to make decisions like that, where the "old" tickets did not. Even though it might cost you $100 or so to go from the 4-Day to the 9-Day, with the previous system it would have cost you at LEAST twice as much more to buy a four-day park hopper ticket, then turn around and by a five-day park hopper ticket.

Concierge at the resorts can also upgrade MYW tickets.

As long as tickets are on your Key to the World cards, you do not have to do it in person. You can call the front desk and have them add it on.

Does anyone else hate the new ticket options, too confusing

I do... I asked to add a day to my pass and the CM at the concierge desk told me I couldn't. So i said fine only to go home and research and find that I could have. I got ripped off and had to spend a day poolside when I could have been at the parks. I wrote Disney a complaint letter and they have yet to reply back. :/
