Myquestion is this; If I wanted to take my hopper pass to City Hall or whatever it's called and convert it to an annual pass, would they let me do it and how much would it cost? Would it just be cheaper for to buy a couple 2 day hoppers in November? What do you guys think?
Originally Posted By lesmisfan you could do that and they would just deduct the amount of the pass that you already payed for. and i think they will only let you do one ticket per pass as well.

Plus all the discounts that come with an AP would come in handy during your trips. It would definitely be worth it if you can squeeze out one more trip after November before it expires.

You pay the price difference between what you paid for the hopper versus the price of the AP you choose. Be sure you use any early entries and any other benefits attached to your hopper before converting to an AP. They go away once you convert.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss ^^No, and yes. If, for example, you use two days, those two days will be deducted from the AP. In other words, the expiration date of the AP will be on the day you first used the original ticket.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Okay TinksBestFriend Let's redo the math 5days $189 2days $122 Total $311 Deluxe AP $239 Winner AP by $128 Just be sure if you are going to be there in May on a blocked day (5/5,5/12,5/19,5/26,5/27) you don't upgrade before one of those days. Say your last day in the park in 5/27 you can upgrade that day and they will give you a ticket you can get in and out with so you aren't blocked. If your last day was to be 5/27 and you upgrade before that day you will have to pay $30 to get in as a blocked day. SO just make sure if you upgrade you do it either after/or on a blocked day. Good luck.
