Hi
We are going to Florida next April and have all our passes through virgin, we also have just booked the last week of August and will try for the year after in march. We will be looking at upgrading our tickets to annual, does anyone know roughly the costs of this? It will be us/ioa and bg/sw/aq
Thank you 😊

For Universal, you may find the following thread useful:

The price to upgrade your Universal tickets to an annual pass depends on the type of annual pass you want. I listed the costs of the various passes in the thread above.

For example, cheapest upgrade to a 2-Park Seasonal Pass costs $5 (according to folk who have been recently). Whereas to upgrade to a 3-Park Preferred Pass would cost about $220.

As for Seaworld/Busch/Aquatica, an Annual Pass to all three of these parks costs $268 per person (it costs less if you want less parks). I think the cost to upgrade to this from a 14 day ticket would therefore be around $125.

Please note, the costs mentioned above are rough guesses only based on online prices. The parks themselves may charge a different amount.

Also lots of threads on upgrading Disney Ultimates to APs.

The upgrade cost depends on how much Virgin paid for the Ultimates, what the exchange rate is when you upgrade, which APs you want and, to a certain extent, which cast member is doing the upgrade.

Work out how much you are prepared to pay for the upgrade to make it viable, then decide when they give you the price. If you don't like the price, try a different kiosk / park.
Don't forget to take in to account savings on parking and purchases. It may be cost effective to just upgrade one ticket to an AP.
