    How can I upgrade already purchased tickets to park Hopper? I followed the directions and went through the app to my tickets, but there is not an option to upgrade.

    Welcome to planDisney, Jamie!

    A visit to Walt Disney World offers so many choices that suit just about any style--and the ability to add the Park Hopper Option to Theme Park Tickets is one of them!

    Jamie, while I've been able to upgrade tickets using the My Disney Experience app, there are times when something just doesn't function the way I think it should. When that happens, I call the Disney Help Center and have a Cast Member sprinkle some pixie dust on my account, then resolve the problem. Just like their name implies: they are so helpful!

    If you don't get a chance to call prior to arrival, Cast Members at Guest Relations will be able to upgrade those tickets for you, too. These are located just outside the entrance to each park as well as at Disney Springs. On a recent trip, we needed to stop by Guest Relations to activate our new Annual Passes. We were in and out so quickly, then walked right in through the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT. So easy!

    Jamie, as you put together your pixie-dusted plans for your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
