Here's what I need to find out: if I want to upgrade my pass from Deluxe (which I purchased at the old price of $379), will it cost $120 (the difference at the time I purchased my pass) or $270 (difference between current PAP [$649]) and what I paid [$379])?

I need to stop by the ticket booth and find out.

When I did that a year or so ago you paid the difference between what you paid and what it is now. Sucks.

How long until it expires? May be more cost effective to buy several block-out day tickets.

From my understanding, it'll be the $270. Sorry. If you had upgraded before the price spike it would have been the $120. I upgraded in the 8th month once, and it was the full difference, not 4 months worth of difference. They get you every way they can....

It seems like, if they're not going to prorate it even though it's only good through the end of the original pass, the least they could do is not prorate it FROM the price it would have been if you'd bought it then.

My AP expires Thursday. It may be a looooong time before I renew.


(Or it may be soon after summer ends ... just don't know at this point ... but for the first time in a long time, the pricetag IS an issue for me.)

For what's it's worth, here is what Disney had to say on the matter.....

I went to the ticket booth last night and confirmed that for me to upgrade, I would need to pay the difference between what I paid before the increase and the current price for the Premium; in this case $270.

I would have been fine with the difference between Deluxe and Premium when I purchased or current, but not the $270. And I didn't expect it to be pro-rated - I knew that from experience.

KERRY: I have upgraded "mid-term" before (often used as my two-payment plan): I've just never dealt with a price increase before.

Zina you lying bitch!

One other element of the price increases: Blockout Day Passes are $70 :eek:
