AP renewal timing question

[evilqueenmindy]

I’ve looked online and have not found anything, so I’m hoping the good people here can help me out.
I have an AP set to expire on 9/20, which (accidentally) coincides with my check in at WL for a 3 day trip.
I’m planning to renew, but I can’t do so until 60 days before my pass expires, which falls on the same day my FP booking window opens.
My question— Does anyone know how early in the day I can renew? Like at 12:05am can I log on to Disney’s website and renew my pass? (Provided the Disney IT gods are smiling on me and I am actually able to renew without incident) or, like the FP does the window open at 7am or something? Does anyone know?

Some DISers have reported they were able to renew their APs approximately 75 days prior to the expiration date.

Call, explain your circumstances, and keep trying to find a CM who can allow the early renewal.

Hmm, okay, great, thanks!

I had this same problem and the 3 CM’s I spoke with refused to renew me any earlier than 60 days out. What I ended up having to do in order to book FP at 60 days was purchase a separate multi-day ticket. Once my renewal day came, I called and the CM renewed my AP and transferred me to ticketing, where they refunded the multi-day ticket. I was able to keep al my FP by doing this (just remember to link the new AP by midnight of the day you renew). It was a pain but I got all the hard-to-get FP. Good luck!

ugh, yeah that's a pain Im hoping to avoid. But as long as I can just renew before 7am, it'll be okay.

You could always buy a multi day ticket, use that to book your FP, then wait till you arrive on site and have them apply that ticket towards the cost of your renewal and pay the difference. That way, you aren't out any extra money and you split the cost of the renewal over a couple different months

That is an option to consider. Right now though, I have a FL resident pass that I pay monthly on anyway.
