Annual Pass Expiration

[MickeyMousePez]

A while back I heard from a DVC castmember that the AP was actually good for 15 months after the first use. Is this true? Our next 2 trips will be about 14 months apart. It would be a lot cheaper to buy the AP with our DVC discount than to buy tickets separately for each trip.

They had a deal in 2010, if you renewed by August 30th you got 15 months instead of 12. Haven't seen a similar offer this year.

You'll get one year and a day. So if you have a pass that starts on March 1, 2011, it will expire at midnight on March 1, 2012.

Will I receive notification that it is expiring? Thanks.

If you register your AP online you MAY get a reminder. You can check the back of your AP to see when it expires.

They will store your address from the id you show when you get your actual AP so, you may (or may not) receive notification by snail mail to renew. You should also receive the Mickey Monitor (passholder newsletter) that mailed out quarterly.

Mine just expired last week, and I did get a mailed envelope with information regarding renewal procedure.

We have held APs twice before. I think they reminded us one time and not the other time, so just put it on your calendar if you want to renew.

According to MouseSavers:

An Annual Pass is good for 366 days. If you buy one on April 8, 2006, it will be valid through April 8, 2007! (Yes, you get an extra day, except in Leap Years.)

I think that means that in Deb & Bill's example above, the AP purchased on March 1, 2011 would expire at the end of February 29th, 2012. But, I don't have an AP that covers the leap day (yet) so I don't know 100% for sure.

I haven't gotten any mail with the renewal procedure. Mine expired over the weekend, and I just figured I would renew it in person next week. I don't expect any problems!

No, I think it is still March 1, 2012. But if you buy one on Feb 29, 2012, it won't expire until Feb 29, 2016?
