Thread: First Time AP

  1. #1

    Phbbbt First Time AP

    Ok, so I live in Utah and have never had an AP before. But a couple weeks ago I won 4 2-day park hoppers from a local radio station. Yay!

    Now I'm tryiing to decide how to squeeze the most out of them. In my house it's just the hubby and me, so we don't really need four passes. Would Disneyland let each of us put two of the tickets toward APs? Or is it only possible to use one ticket per upgrade? What about adding in the value of the volunteer day ticket next year?

    Then the question comes up about renewal. What does it cost to renew an AP?

    Thanks

    The issue is going to be can you even upgrade these tickets. MOST tickets given away are marked "COMP" thus having no value and you cannot upgrade them. If they do have a value, then yes, you can apply multiple unused tickets towards the purchase.

    I think you can only use one ticket for an upgrade. The parkhoppers would be worth more than the free volunteer day ticket, so I would use those.

    Since you are from Utah you would be eligible for the premium and deluxe annual passes only, both of which offer a $20 discount when you renew. Keep in mind that the price of the pass you get will likely be more expensive when it comes time to renew.

    I stand corrected. Good stuff to know.

    And the way to tell is to look at the back of the tickets. They will either have a $ value or the word COMP in the fine print on the back.

    I'd sell the extra tickets to friends or on KSL (dot com)'s classifieds pages. I'm from Utah too and see Disneyland tickets there all the time. Then put that money towards your AP or just towards your vacation.

    Congrats on the radio win! We've been trying to win that vacation too!

    Good catch, guys. They are indeed 'not upgrade' eligible. What a bummer. Now I'll have to decide if we wait till next year so we can use volunteer and get a nice 3 days in the park or if we'll try to sell them or something. Hmm.

    Being thankful for the gift of time.

    Are there just the two of you? Why not just do 4 days at the park, use the two day hoppers, then use the other two day hoppers?

    That could very well happen. We'll have to see how long we can get away.

    Or you could just do 2 different 2 day trips. Kind like having 2 weekend getaways to Disneyland.
