No, that’s wrong. If that’s what happened, you got cheated.
You’d get the gate value of that ticket, when it was offered for sale. Since the ticket is offered any more (and this goes based on the expiration date, too) the current gate price is irrelevant. The UT will still get you some savings, but not much.
Yeah that’s what I had figured too nowvthey raised the AP $20 so I guess I have to add on more but have a ball park figure that’s right. Now need to hear from someone who has done this since 10/16 now to see how much. IG is International Gateway by BWV? Right. Try there first. Thankstwo weeks ago (10/6), I was on the 2nd day of using 2012 6 day PH. DHS GR told me it would be $319.34 to upgrade to a DVC AP (then current Gold AP price, less the original price paid for the PH), as they "no longer bridge" passes.
realizing that he might be incorrect, I decided we had nothing to lose by waiting until we got to EPCOT (IG) GR the next day......where I was charged $116.09 for the upgrade - over $200 less!!
now that the ticket structure has changed, the price & options of upgrading are uncertain, but it certainly might be beneficial to try more than one GR when attempting to upgrade an old pass.

yes, IG is the EPCOT entrance between England & France.
yup
Oh I’d never be so lucky as to get 574.47 I’d be thrilled if so since DVC AP went up $20 Again this year.yes, IG is the EPCOT entrance between England & France.
See what you originally paid for your pass - mine was from 2012. BUT, as has been said, they still might not "bridge" because of the new pricing structure though it is certainly worth a shot (btw, a current 6 day PH, at the highest cost period, is $574.47, which should be the closest comparable pass since the older PHs didn't have any time period restrictions). good luck!
yup
my 6 day PH cost $307.95 in 2012 (from UTC), the pre 10/16/2018 gate price for a 6 day PH was $511.20 - a $203.25 (or 66%) difference

There is a thread on the Theme Park Attractions & Strategies board with ticket upgrade information: All About TICKETS & Upgrades
That’s great! I am hoping to be able to bridge a ticket for my son when we go down next month.
I understand your frustration but I am sure they will find your tickets in the system and make it right. It is probably something to do with the new system. Disney May charge more than we want but I do believe that they will make it right with your lost tickets.
Yes they did make it right — but it was quite stressful in the meantime before getting back to guest services. They gave us a 2 day and 1 day to make up for the 3 days they took from our no expire
