AP and turning 10 yrs old

[chatchdvc]

I appologize if this has been asked before.

I just planned a last minute trip for this August.
Because we are also planning on going next April and May, I'm going to buy APs. My daughter is 9 years old now, but she'll be 10 before the spring. I just want to be sure her "3-9" AP will still be usable after she hits that 10 year mark, otherwise I'll get her a 10+ AP to be sure it's still good for the spring.
TIA

Passes are good for one year, even if a child turns to "adult" pass age during that year.

Thanks Chuck!
That was the fastest reply, too

As long as it has already been used at least once.

I wish most people can respect Disney's child pass like under this thread.

I was at MK last week and a family was in front of me. 2 adults and 1 teen. The boy is even taller than me and the CM was asking him how old he was. He said 9!!!!! That would have been the biggest 9 year old I have ever seen. I feel sorry for the boy who had to lie, he was all red. The CM said he is probably at least 15. Amazing.......

I'm bringing my two nieces on this trip as well, and one of them is turning 10 years old 4 days before we leave. My DBrother wanted me to buy her a child's pass, I told him I'm not lying for him. If he wants to teach them "wonderful" habits like that he can do it on his own.
Not to mention he's already saving a heap of money by sending them with me instead of going himself! Not the time to get cheap.

Although they should be saving up since they might need to pay some mental health bills when I get back from a week with their kids.

Your chance to get back at him for doing those "brother" things when you were kids. We brought our two nieces on our first trip and my husband spoiled them to no end. When they walked into their house with the super-sized Mickey and Pluto, my sister really laughed out loud!

I'm going to have to come up with something like that!

Just bring your pass to any guest services after your child turns 10 and they upgrade it to an adult pass for free. It'll make it easier to renew the pass later as an adult pass after they switch it for you.

The age applies to the age on the date of the first use of a ticket. After that, the ticket is tied to that particular person regarless of their age. If you buy a child's 2 day ticket with the no expire option and the child uses the first day when they are 9. They can come back and use the second day when they're 30. (The turnstyles will have probably changed by then and you may need to exchange the ticket for one that works in the current machines, but it won't cost you anything.)

I recently used a child's ticket that was mine from 1981.

Thanks for all the replies!
A very helpful bunch you all are.

While the info contained in this thread is c/w my experience, I have seen reports the last couple of years where some were required to pay the difference between the child and adult ticket to convert them over. So at least consider the possibility you may have a minor setback.
