AP newbie ?

[cindy21494]

I just found out that the AP that I purchased from the disney website is just a voucher and I have to activate it at one of the parks.

My question is, when I check in to the hotel will they allow just the voucher and I can come back when it is activated to prove that I have it? We are not renting a car this time and are being taken by towncar to the hotel, so stopping by a park isn't an option.

Should I cancel the towncar and rent a car while we are there so that we can stop at a park first? We will only be there four days, so a rental should not cost much more.

If I knew it was just a voucher, I would have waited and stopped at the disney store at the airport and gotten one (I read they sell activated tickets). If anyone knows what I am to expect at the hotel or has any suggestions, I would really apprecaite it.

I feel I may be stressing about this too much.

Thanks!

I do not believe you will have any problems checking in at the hotel - I am assuming you are worried b/c you booked an AP rate with the resort? I am pretty sure (although not positive) that even the airport sells vouchers that need to be activated at the parks but perhaps someone can confirm or correct me on that one.
To be certain, you should call the hotel directly and just check to make sure and just keep a record of when you called and to whom you spoke in case you need to verify at check-in.
It's not worth it - especially when there's no need to spending more $$$ than needed for a rental instead of a town car (although with a great rate it may even be less). Anyway, good luck and have fun
