That is what I was wondering. Thanks for the clarification!
Yeah it makes sense what you are asking. You want to know if you buy the Florida Resident at say 5% off would they credit you 95% of the Face Value or 100% of the Face Value. This is referred to as "bridging" though I have only seen people use it for standard (non AP) tickets to extend days or add ParkHopper. Also any reports of them bridging tickets seems to be hit or miss and the typical suggestion is to use the ticket first before upgrading (which won't be possible). So my guess is they would only give you credit for what you paid (as they somehow do have that info) and at most they would give you what the undiscounted price was when you bought (thus not locking it in for subsequent years).
Buying a pass you’re not entitled to with hopes of “price bridging” it..???
That wasn’t at all my intention. I was just trying to determine if the Gold AP was a single type of ticket or two ticket types for DVC and FL Residents. Now I know that it is two types of ticket with the same name and price which helpful information and why I asked and didn’t make assumptions.
The Disney ticketing system is very complex. Every possible ticket/pass that can be sold is a separate entry in the ticketing system.
I love learning all of the nuances of how systems work. Even when it doesn't apply to me, it is interesting to read how it all works.
There are renewal rates for every annual pass that Disney sells. I just renewed our FL Gold Passes and the renewal rate is the same as the renewal rate for the DVC Gold Pass.
You need to stop at either a Park Ticket Window or a Guest Relations Location at WDW. You will need to show a Blue DVC Membership Card and all adults (ages 18+) will need to show a photo id that has the same address as the member with the membership card.
A bit late, but did not mean to insinuate YOU did anything wrong, but rather the system may not be set up correctly.
Wrong. They may choose to renew a resident pass at a different rate than DVC.
