I am doing sort of a split stay, off site starting 11/22 with younger DD, then onsite starting 11/27 with a package with older DD. My package (6 night stay at FQ) was booked a year ago and has 7 day tickets, because DD and I will be there a day before we check in at FQ. It has always been my intention to add 3 days to my package ticket when I arrive for the off site stay.
What I gathered from reading this and another thread:
1. DD and I can activate our FQ package tickets a day before we check in because they are pre-10/16/18 tickets, although my package was not paid in full until about 10/22.
2. If I add 3 days to my package ticket, I will lose the ability to activate it early.
3. I am stuck. I have to purchase a 3 day ticket in order to get into the parks during my off site stay.
So is this the way it is? Please tell me I'm wrong.
1. Maybe. We still don't know this, for sure,
and you MIGHT encounter a ticket CM who WILL do it, or you MIGHT encounter a ticket CM who will NOT do it.
(Sorry, but that's just the way these things run when there's a change in rules.)
2. Well, if you CAN activate your tickets early... THEN, after you DO, it is likely that
you can upgrade by adding "days" to your ticket.
If you can, then the cost SHOULD be the amount it would cost shown in my "Cost to Upgrade" post (
HERE)...
using the value of an "early 2018 ticket" of the kind that you already have in your package...
upgraded to the cost of the kind of NEW ticket that you WANT based on the
actual start-date of the first use of your tickets.
3. Complicated?
Unknown outcome?
You bet!!
But, I HOPE that your only choice would not be to buy an additional stand-alone 3-day ticket.
