I booked a package for January 2018 for a 6 night stay at Pop with 6 day base tickets for myself, wife, and son.
I think that if I upgraded to a Platinum Pass, subtracting the cost of the 6 day base, subtracting the cost of Memory Maker,
1. and subtracting a 25% discount on our Pop stay,
2. I would only have to pay $30 to receive all of the benefits and perks of an annual passholder. I could easily recoup that $30 in food and merchandise discounts. Even though my trip hasn't started, can I do this?
3. I didn't know if there is any issue unbundling the tickets and room cost from the package I had booked.
4. I also did a speculative reservation to see what a 6 night stay at Pop for our same dates would cost,
5. and took a 25% discount (since AP discounts were 25-35%, I assumed values got 25%), so those are the numbers I used.
6a. & 6b. I know that we could upgrade my wife and son's tickets as well, but for our January trip, park hopping isn't in the plans, so it makes sense to upgrade them during our trip to help spread out the payments. I can't think of any other benefit to upgrading them now other than parkhopping.
7. Also, does this affect fastpasses? My 60 day window was yesterday, and I booked 3 fastpasses for each of us for each day of our trip.
8. I know annual passholders can only book 30 days out, but wouldn't my fastpasses still remain intact since we are staying onsite?
9. Would there be any issue with magicbands and the activation of them?
