I'm not sure I understand this comment - does it mean that you can't even get into the park with 1 day tickets unused for over a year unless you pay more to get up to the current gate price, or does it mean that if you want to upgrade from a 1 day ticket unused for over a year you can not benefit from price bridging because you will have to pay the difference to get up to the current gate price before you can upgrade?
Before seeing this comment, I thought that I understood when price bridging is available. Now I'm not sure, and I'd really appreciate some help. Maybe specifics will help me understand. I have a 1 day base ticket purchased in 2010 directly from Disney as part of a resort package. The way I understand the price bridging rules generally, I should get a credit for the current gate price if I am upgrading a ticket bought as part of a resort package. But it's a one day ticket, so does that change the price bridging rules?
Let's say in April 2017 I want to use my 1 day base ticket originally bought in 2010 as part of a resort package to upgrade to a 2 day base ticket, which has a current cost of $215.13 including tax. There are several possible options for the credit I will get for my 1 day base ticket:
- No credit until I pay enough to get my 2010 1-day ticket up to the April 2017 price of a 1-day base ticket?
- Credit only for the 2010 price of a 1-day base ticket in effect when I bought the package?
- Credit for the current 1-day base ticket price of $121.41 (using peak pricing)?
- Credit for the current 1-day base ticket price of $108.63 (using regular pricing, even though peak pricing is in effect on the day I upgrade)?
- Any other possibilities?
I also have a related question: What if I upgrade at Guest Relations inside MK after using the 2010 1-day base ticket to enter MK? Will I get credit for the higher 1-day MK ticket price instead of the 1-day price for a ticket to the other parks?
I'm sorry if this is hard to understand, and I'd be happy to clarify if needed. Thanks for all of this great information!
