I’m probably going to get an AP for 2018 since I now live in FL woohoo! I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about it (aka save the most money).
I’m a FL resident. I have tickets for 2-9 Dec, but they are military rate. Can I convert a military ticket into an AP? If so, how do I go about It?
If not, what’s the best time to buy? Do they go on sale?
Any word on you could bestow would be greatly appreciated!
Let me clarify a bit more. With the Salute tickets you’d have to pay the difference between what you paid & the cost of an AP. With the Military discount tickets you should pay to “bridge”. You should pay the difference between the gate price & the cost of the AP. For me it was $356. I bridged a military discounted MYW 4 day park hopper.
So you’re saying I could still convert the Salute ticket into an AP but I wouldn’t really “save” money. The $209 I paid would just go toward the AP. So, if the AP is $700, I would pay $491, correct?
I believe so. It was my understanding that you pay the difference. You may get a break with the tax on the AP. Doesn’t hurt to ask. You can’t bridge them because of the deeply discounted price for the Salute tickets. To be honest I only got the 1 AP which was bridging the MYW. I upgraded mine at the ticket counter at Epcot. We had used our 6 Salute tickets for the year & had to get 1 MYW ticket. Upgraded because next year I knew we’d go over the 6 Salute tickets again.
