First off, thank you x 282627272 to this thread, I am back from my trip and successfully upgraded to an AP from a 10 day PH purchased as part of a package. I upgraded at the ticket building located inside Liberty Square across from the Christmas store and it was quick, easy and amazing. The cast member that helped me was awesome.
Now come new questions
I read the upgrading post at the beginning and the AP post too.
You cannot combine the value of more than one ticket in order to upgrade to a singe new ticket or AP
You are renewing your AP within the renewal window (up to 60 days before or 30 days after your AP anniversary date)
you may upgrade a MYW ticket to the Pass using the renewal rate.
My questions are:
1) may I purchase a 10 day PH now, and use it to renew my annual pass when it's renewal time?
2) if i purchase the ticket from Disney (either in a package or stand alone) and prices increase, will I need to use it first the ticket to keep the old pricing before using it toward my renewal?
3) if I purchase 10 day PH from 3rd party, can I use that toward renewal and how does that effect with price bridging?
I'm assuming prices will go up again before my AP needs renewal and I want to be able to utilize discounted tickets/pre-pay for the renewal by purchasing a ticket ahead of time to use for renewal if that's possible.
My AP expires in September 2018 and need to renew for a November 2018 trip.
Any and all help appreciated, thank you in advance, you are most appreciated!
