Upgrading to Annual Pass

[bighal]

Upgrading a 14 day UK ticket to the Platinum pass should be approx. $600 including tax based on the current $150 upgrade cost to a Gold pass and the Platinum Plus being approx. another $106.

All sorted today again at MK guest info at the bottom of main street. They knew exactly how to get that price, only took 5 mins. ID was needed.

Really finding the different prices confusing. On 19 August we were quoted $212.79 to upgrade adult 21 day UK Ultimates to DVC Gold Annual Passes, and $239.00 to upgrade the child ticket. This was at guest services inside Magic Kingdom.
Have I misunderstood the figures or are people really being offered a better deal to upgrade the 14 day ticket than the 21 day one? I’d love to only be looking at c$150 to upgrade but don’t know where/if this is possible. Our ultimates were purchased from Disney UK as part of a package on the free DDP offer if that makes any difference? We have a little time left yet to do the upgrade but I’m really not sure what the upgrade price should be, or where the best place to do it would be.
The other things that seem inconsistent are whether we could use the 21 Day tickets to go to a water park and subsequently still upgrade to a DVC Gold AP. Magic Kingdom said yes they didn’t see why not. Whereas Animal Kingdom said no definitely not if we use the water parks we can only upgrade to the platinum plus which is way too big a price hike for what I’ll need this year. I understand that normally if you e used the water parks you have to upgrade to platinum plus, but I seem to think I’ve read somewhere that the UK 21 day ultimate was the exception to this rule and you can upgrade to whatever you want. Perhaps I’m hallucinating lol! Confused! Help please.

See more...

Based on reports from previous posters (I have no personal experience) I would start by checking the tickets in the app. Do you get a possibility to upgrade? If so, that page should show you the price to upgrade to Platinum+, but more importantly, it should show you how much credit your 21-day tickets will give you towards your AP. If you can see that I would screenshot it and take it to GS.

From reports the adult 21-day ultimate has been valued from roughly $592 to $624 so the upgrade from a 21-day to a DVC gold pass should be in the $75-$107 range + tax, so $80-$114.

As for the water parks, sorry, can't help there.

I’m keen to know this too. Last time we were able to upgrade to gold AP after we’d used the mini golf many times.

At WDW now and hoping to upgrade 14 day tickets to Gold passes.
Do you need to have used your tickets before any upgrade price shows in the app?

[Birtie]

Just upgraded 14 day tickets to Gold passes for $150.17

[saratogajan]

Thanks for that. Had you used them for water parks or mini golf?

[Birtie]

Not used them for anything else, first day today. Upgraded them at Epcot and bought annual water passes at same time for $148 each

Thanks for that. Have a great holiday!
