Hey there, Emily! Welcome to planDisney!
You could not be visiting Walt Disney World at a more magical time. With the parks and Resorts decorated for the holidays,
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party,
Jollywood Nights and the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays in full swing, and the smell of gingerbread around every corner, there just seems to be extra pixie dust in the air this time of year. With so much to do, see and taste, you’ll want to upgrade those tickets, so let’s get to it!
I'm happy to report that you should absolutely be able to upgrade your park tickets before your trip and still keep your current Resort reservation, even if the tickets are part of a Vacation Package. I find that the easiest way to upgrade a ticket is on the My Disney Experience app. Log in, tap the three-line menu icon at the bottom and then the "My Tickets & Passes" tile. Find your current ticket and tap "Change Ticket" to upgrade your ticket.
If you don't see the "Change Ticket" option on the app, log into your
My Disney Experience account, scroll to your Disney Resort Hotel reservation and click "Change Reservation." It will look as if you're changing your Resort reservation, but Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." Scroll down to Theme Park Tickets and click "Change" to upgrade your tickets. If you have any issues at all,
call a helpful Cast Member with Tickets and Hotel Reservations for some assistance. More Disney days are always better!
I hope this helps, Emily, and I hope you have the merriest time at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way.
Stay merry and bright,
Mandy
