That's interesting and annoying. I think we still have ultimates booked with our package too. Oh well we were debating Genie+ anyway so now this seals we wont bother

Sorry, what are the advantages of changing the tickets please? We have 14 day ultimates and all our park reservations booked with those

I am aware of two potential advantages - and whether they really are advantages depends on your situation:

• You can add Genie+ to the Magic ticket’s full 14 days at a discounted price compared to paying for Genie+ day-by-day over 14 days. You can use Genie+ on the Ultimate tickets by paying for it each day when you’re there, so what you lose out on is a potential saving on Genie+ if you use it enough days (break-even is 9 days usage of Genie+).
• The Magic ticket’s 14-days entry is valid over a period of 18 days, whereas the old Ultimate ticket’s 14-days entry is valid over 15 days. This may be useful for you. (We used to buy the old 21-day Ultimate tickets for this reason, which no longer exists, but the new 14-day-entry-over-18-days covers what we need anyway).

You can keep your current Ultimate tickets and use them without issue. If there are dining credits, vouchers etc on the Ultimate ticket then it sounds like you would lose far more than you gain.
