If I buy the physical edition of TTK will my characters get carried over?

I already own Destiny, House of Wolves and the Dark Below, and of course I want the Taken King! However, in Australia, the Legendary version that includes the base game, both DLC's and TTK is almost the same price as the digital version. So my question is, if I sell the base disc of Destiny, and buy the physical legendary edition, will the game remember my characters?(it will be on the same account)

All replies are appreciated, thanks :)
