Upgrading uk tkts for annual pass?

[catherine p]

Hi I was wondering if I wanted to upgrade my uk 14 day ultimate tkts for a annual pass when we go does anybody know what the difference in cost per ticket would be thanks

Simply the difference on the day between what your pass is worth (Disney wholesale price) versus current cost but be aware they have just increased the AP prices by 19% so not a great deal

lots of threads on that topic

to sum them up

if you use waterparks or golf, you will be required to upgrade to platinum plus ($1219 + tax)
if you don't, you may be able to upgrade to platinum (no waterparks) at $1119 + tax

you hold a 14 days ticket which has a relative value of $490 (true value can only be determined on the day you upgrade

so you're looking at $800 to upgrade your ticket to platinum plus, and $700 to upgrade to platninum

but that's only a guesstimate, true price can only be quoted on the day, at the desk

Hope this helps

I beg to differ ... how do you get those prices ?

current price for a 14 days ultimate is £385 (Disney site) for 2019 tickets, and £449 for 2020 tickets.

ooops I apologise chmurf yes you are correct. ... I was checking the price for two tickets in January next year which works out at £898. I will go back and see if I can edit my post. Thank you for pointing it out

I have edited my post but unfortunately it still shows up in your quoted post.

Don't forget that it isn't necessarily the price that you paid, I was told by Disney that they work it on their wholesale price (even if bought from them ) so you could be less in your calculations.

I just googled and that was the price it gave me which I had assumed was the price (and yes was looking at 2020 soz). In which case its less than I did so not quite the same values calculated but with parking I think it would still work out good value.

It will be the AP price less what you paid for your ultimates. I have decided to do it during my September visit and I am expecting the cost to be almost as much as the cost of a second set of 14 day ultimates.

However we don't have the dining plan in September so I will get some dining discounts and for the following trip I have decided to forgo free dining because it doesn't suit how we eat anyway. I think the price increase does make it questionable as to whether it is worth it.

with what you'll be paying to upgrade, you might be able to get almost 2 sets of 14 days tickets ...
