Is it worth the time, stress, and threat of negative notes on your record to try to find a Castmember who will bridge? I was considering purchasing from UT and bridging to an AP in December. However, UT customer service didn't understand when I asked if the tickets were from before or after the February 12 price increase- so I never found out what stock they actually sell. Additionally, it seems from reading this thread (I have now read it ALL as I didn't get an answer to an earlier question & tried to figure it out) that there is no consistency in bridging tickets- and it sounds like kind of a nightmare to try.
UT sells a $469 for a 6 day adult PH with one free day, which is essentially $469 for a 7 day PH. The Disney PP is $830 with tax. If they bridge to pre-February 2017 prices I'd get $467.54 in credit, post February I'd get $516.53 (as they do not add the gate $20) and if they bridge to what UT paid it could be as low as $411.
$467.54-$469.00= $1.46 loss
$516.53-$469.00= $47.53 saved
$411.00-$467.00= $56.00 loss
Additionally lost: Sanity, clean Disney record, time, etc.
Does not seem like good odds to me. Am I missing something? Additionally, I know I run the risk of loss if we decide not to upgrade as we actually only need a 3 or 4 day PH. This is our first time visiting all the parks & it will be around the holidays- so anything to make this easier is probably a good idea. The AP is a lot of money for us, so I was hoping to figure out how to make it more cost effective should we return. Thanks!
