Again, we are discussing the option to upgrade tickets or add on days or features. Haley brought up non-expiry as an alternative if bridging policies change. The only change to non-expiry tickets currently is the actual cost, and the possible inability to bridge, which would impact all or most third party tickets.

It doesn't matter if the discount from resellers wasn't much to begin with if they could be bridged. The resulting savings could be quite significant. Had you bridged tickets to APs or PAPs in past, you may have seen quite a big savings over the years.

mkjr, Haley is offering up an alternative but right now the challenge is that nobody seems to know definitively what the future will hold. I can see WDW moving to the DL model, and doing upgrades to ticket media only at the face value of the ticket, not the original price paid. But I would expect them to grandfather in current ticket holders, like you, and not penalise them. But that may not happen. Right now I don't think that anyone can say what value your tickets hold, if you are planning to upgrade them in any way.
