AP expiration date?

[Dbktmc]

We are going to be activating our AP's on June 22nd this year. We plan on returning for the summer of 2019 with these passes. Can you tell me what date our passes will no longer be valid? Will we be able to go into the parks on June 22, 2019 or will they expire on June 21, 2019? I am trying to decide on my DVC rental unit and want to make our last day at the resort the last day the passes our usable.

I was wrong. Listen to @Robo below.

If you activate on June 22, 2018 the passes will expire on June 21, 2019. Meaning you can use them on June 21, 2019 giving you one full year of use.

Hmm, I’m pretty sure they would be good all day on June 22, 2019.

ETA: Confirmed in ticket sticky.

APs are good for 366 days of use on their first year.

Huh. My last AP was during the 13 month promotion and I activated it on dec 22 2016 and it expired Jan 21 2018. I wonder if that was a different case with the 13 months?

Maybe.
Or it is also likely the CM who set up your AP could have made an error.
Until recently, the CM "activating" an AP had to manually enter the expiration date.
Far, far too often, the CM made an error on that date and many guests had to get the situation
remedied if that error negatively affected their travel plans.

Currently, the COMPUTER sets the expiration date of a new AP, and that has eliminated
so may errors regarding dates.

We renewed our APs during the 13-month promotion. Our expiration date moved to 30 days later than the 12-month would have been.

For the 13 month promo the castmember told us the 13th month is 30 days, regardless of whether that month actually had 30 or 31 days.

Might be true...
But back then, the CM could conjure up any date (s)he wanted as the expiration date,
regardless of the "rules" as understood by that particular CM.

I am happy to hear this!
