Hi Lisa, welcome back to planDisney!
I like the way you think! Upgrading your ticket to an
Annual Pass is a great way to squeeze in some extra magic! And if you decide to go forward, you can use your Annual Pass for the first time in exactly one week!
As you alluded to in your question, you can
upgrade your theme park tickets to a Disney Annual Pass by paying the difference between the cost of your theme park ticket and the Annual Pass you are purchasing. Because you are not a Florida resident, you would be upgrading to the
Disney Incredi-Pass, which is the same Annual Pass I have. You have until the last day of your ticket entitlement to upgrade but I would suggest upgrading sooner so you can take advantage of the
Annual Pass Discounts that are available throughout Walt Disney World during your vacation.
You will need Cast Member assistance to complete the upgrade. The easiest way to do this is to stop by any
Guest Services location or a ticket window at the main entrance to any of the four theme parks. The Cast Member will guide you through the process which will only take a few minutes.
Once you officially become a Disney Annual Passholder, you will want to bookmark the
Annual Pass Experiences, Perks, and Discounts page to get the most out of your Annual Pass going forward.
Lisa, I hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. I hope your vacation next week is super magical!
