Your old AP is valid until the last park closes on 3/7.
There have been some dates where CA Adventure was fully booked. One I remember was the Sunday following New Year's Day. It was the 2nd to last day of the Festival Of Holidays. There were also at least a couple of Sundays during Halloween Time that filled up. Probably because of people who had tickets for Oogie's Bash that wanted to be in the park the whole day. But for the most part, it hasn't been difficult getting into CA Adventure. There was one weekend day where I couldn't get into DL, so I just spent a few hours at CA Adventure.
There is almost always one booth open until an hour after the latest park closing. This has always been the case, barring some unusual circumstance. I don't know why the CM told you that -- and you've been told other wrong information lately, like the CM who told you that you couldn't get a BG inside DCA after already having scanned into DL -- so you seem to be having a run of weird luck with CMs lately. As the saying goes, "Ask 10 CMs, get 10 different answers!" So, when in doubt, look for a lead or a supervisor. And double check the answer here!
Yes it was for a Saturday and now it has happened again for the following Saturday. We're just not going to go that second weekend, but we booked DCA only for the first weekend that I wanted to go.
Crystal, Some people have had the value of MP (which was added daily to the ticket, rather than being bought at the time of ticket purchase) applied to their AP upgrade, but I think they had to buy MP for the AP (are you planning on adding MP to your AP?). But, some people have not been given that value. I think it depends on the CM. Everyone who did get the value of it had to do the upgrade at the ticket booth, as the app will not apply the max pass cost purchased day by day to the upgrade price.Ok, so I tried searching this and cannot find anything, so here it goes:
We will have 2 day, one park per day tickets without maxpass. We plan to purchsed MP both days we are in the parks.
If we upgrade to a Flex AP on our last day, will they apply the price of the ticket and the MP we paid for the 2 days towards the price of the Flex AP as a down payment? Or just the price of the ticket?
I have read that the day you upgrade, you need to make a reservation and that Disney will not always give you a reservation. We plan on inquiring at the ticket booths after *hopefully* getting a BG at DL in the morning of our last day. If they will not give us a reservation, then we would probably wait until later in the day. How likely do you think DL reservations will be full on Monday, June 8th?
Apologies if I missed this question being asked a ton. I did not think we would do this at all and DH just mentioned the possibility of this happening. TIA!
Hi Michelle! Thanks for the reply! Yes, we plan on adding MP to the Flex AP. Unfortunately, we already bought the tickets through UT at the old rate. At the time, we did not think we were going to get MP because of the increase in price. I don't think my DH and I were on the same page about all that. Although I love MP, I feel that $20 is too much...but DH thinks it is still worth it.
I believe you can upgrade or downgrade at any time, but your pass expiration will remain the same. Saturdays in March booked up fast for Flex, so if you do this I’d book the Saturday you want right at 30 days when the window opens.
