Hello Clare,
As the current
UK Panelist here at planDisney, it really is my pleasure to welcome you here today.
As a previous Annual Passholder at Walt Disney World Resort, I can totally relate to your great question Clare as I actually purchased my own pass as an upgrade from an Ultimate Ticket!
Becoming part of the
Annual Passholder Program at Walt Disney World Resort had always been sort of a bucket list item for me. So, I was truly delighted when I finally had a few yEARs where I knew I could get the very best value for money by upgrading my
Ultimate Tickets.
I know it sounds a bit silly, but I really did feel like I joined the Mickey Mouse Club for real when I first became a card-carrying Annual Passholder!
To the very best of my current knowledge, Guests are only able to upgrade unused Disney Theme Park Tickets to Annual Passes by visiting
Guest Relations locations at Walt Disney World Resort, or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs. Helpful Cast Members at Guest Relations will be on hand to fully discuss your ticketing options currently offered within the Annual Passholder Program, and of course to provide an up-to-date price to upgrade your present Ultimate Ticket.
My top planDisney tip for you would be that prior to upgrading to the Annual Passholder Program, ensure that you
don't actually use your Ultimate Ticket to enter a Disney Theme Park as only unused days remaining on tickets can be used to purchase an upgrade.
Additionally, I thought it might be quite a useful planning resource for you to take a peek at these
Annual Passes - Know Before You Go.
Clare, I hope that I've been able to provide a little insight for you today. If you should have any further questions regarding your August 2022 plans for a jolly holiday to the most magical place on earth, then please do pop back any time to planDisney. I'm always happy to help wherever possible.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
