AP alternative

[bengalfreak]

My wife and I, not Florida Residents, rent a house in Kissimmee for a month in the winter every year. We buy Annual Passes for Disney World and then visit at our leisure throughout the month. Usually we spend about every third day at the parks for a total of 10 days over the 30 day period. We are older so we like to do half days. This year we are going in February and then in 2022 we would go in January so we could spread the annual passes among the two years. Without being able to purchase annual passes, I'm at a loss as to how we could do anything close to our normal schedule in any way economically. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you not currently still have AP from last year? Can still renew those I believe. Also have heard that if were part of those that took AP refunds you can call in and purchase new. There has been mixed reports of this working.

No, they expired at the end of January.

January 2021? You have 30 days after your expiration date to renew AP

OP’s pass expired a year ago - Jan. 2020 before the shutdown.

You can try contacting the AP line to see if they will sell you an AP since you’ve had one in the past. No guarantee that will work, though. Otherwise the only tickets available are regular tickets up to 10 days at a time, which expire after 14 days. Could you revamp your plans and go more frequently in a 2-week period then take some time away from the parks? I don’t believe there are any tickets currently available that do what you want.

I would rather not. Like I said we are old and like a couple of days to recover after a day in the parks. 3 years ago we bought a five day pass that had to be used within a 14 day period and we hated it. That's why we decided that we would just spend the extra money for AP's so we could come and go as we please. I guess what we will do, since Universal is still selling AP's, is that we will buy those and just spend our time there instead of Disney World this year. If we decide to visit Disney at all, we'll just buy a day pass for that day.
