Hi David!
Welcome to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to assist my fellow guests from the UK. Thank you for sending me this question about tickets.
Your trip is just around the corner!, and I'm happy to say that you can upgrade your
7-Day Magic Ticket to an Annual Pass. This has to be done in person, when you are in the US, and also must be upgraded prior to the end of the last day of your Magic Ticket.
You may upgrade to a Disney Incredi-Pass (Annual Pass). Once you arrive at Walt Disney World you can upgrade to your Disney Incredi-Pass at a Ticket Window at any Disney theme park or water park. If you are planning to visit Disney Springs on your first day or so, you can also buy tickets at the
Ticket Center there. Please remember to take valid photo ID with you (UK passport or driving licence will be fine).
While no start date can be set in advance, your Disney Incredi-Pass will only become active from the first day of use when entering a theme park.
I am also visiting in November, and look forward to visiting
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to see the famous life-sized gingerbread house! The construction has just started! Situated in the beautiful lobby, you can also pick up seasonal treats including gingerbread shingles (as used on the roof!). The recipe for each edible masterpiece is usually displayed with the exact measurements of ingredients - made with REAL food!
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you are welcome to
send me another direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World.
Sue
