AP sales…

[SL6827]

There's no telling how much Disney could take away from new APs, when they reinstate them, while charging a nice price hike on them.

I think Disney sees it differently than you or I.

Some people are reporting that they are NOT being allowed to renew their AP is they are out of state. Does anyone have any information in regards to this? This is as of yesterday.

Oh no. Please let this not be true. My AP expires in July and I fully intend to renew it. Out of state here. And not DVC.

They just called again and got someone else who did the renewal for them. I would say the other CMs were just not trained properly? We are out of state as well and our passes are not up for renewal until October so this would have been an issue for us as well.

I just got an email this morning stating that "There's still time to renew!" My AP expired yesterday. I'm not a FL resident but Disney IT being what it is, they may just send that email out automatically.

Whew! You had me worried there for a moment. As pricey as the AP is, there's no way I'm letting it expire now. The last 2 trips we took we benefited from AP room discounts--and the upcoming trip as well. I almost let mine lapse during the shutdown in 2020 but kept hoping I could go, so I retained it. I definitely didn't get the full value out of it that year, but I kept telling myself that the animals at DAK and AKL and AKV still needed to be taken care of so I imagined my AP money going toward that. Made me feel better about it.

They had me worried as well! I’m keeping my AP as long as they let me!

Has anyone been able to upgrade a sorcerer pass to an incredipass recently? Maybe on the phone? Guest services would not let me in person last week. Will have to buy ds tickets for Christmas it seems. I still have incredipass.

Guest services told me the same thing last week. When talking with DVC two days ago about a room reservation, I asked if I could upgrade my pass and was told yes, just call the Annual pass "hotline" as she called it. I haven't called yet.

Great thanks! Fingers crossed for both of us she is correct.

Not sure when Disney will bring back annual pass but universal is taking advantage of the opportunity by just announcing a new entrance line coming for annual pass holders to use Along with hotel discounts and new dining locations for annual passholders and other things to come.might Be time to buy an annual pass and start visiting universal a little more.

It was my understanding that you could only upgrade to a higher pass once they started reselling passes or it was time for your renewal.

 

[Lisa75]

Ok thanks. I will call and see. We were given bad info on the phone that I could renew as sorcerer and use the value of an expired ticket towards the upgrade when in person. This was recently and during the current period of them not selling AP’s. If not we will get regular tickets to get him through Christmas and upgrade when we can. It’s important to me to keep his pass current regardless.

Very minor question. If I have my incredipass at Christmas and he has a sorcerers but valid day tickets with park reservations will he be able to use the pass holder entrance at the parks during the blackout or no? We rarely use it anyway but at Easter week it was empty at each park when we were tapping in so was nice.

When I do call VIP AP I will report back. Thanks all.

I think a place that sells tickets from a Frog has this deal still. I know Universal Studios has similar Ticket Offers. Please delete if this is not allowed. Just another disgruntled DVC member that is stuck with a 10 day ticket when I need 15 days and refused to pay full price for another 5 day ticket.

email Guest.services@disneyworld.com

Let them know you'll be there for 15 days would have bought and annual pass but since you couldn't you'll now spend you money with someone else..

This! We have universal preferred. One day last week we drove to early entry at universal that’s included in the annual pass. Night and day towards passholders versus Disney. Team members so welcoming and excited to see passholders there at the checkpoints and very friendly when I asked guest services if we could use either park as we hadn’t gone from offsite before. Enjoyed an empty diagon alley. At Disney I am beginning to feel like a nuisance as a passholder

I doubt park reservations ever go away. Park hopping rules maybe go away this year.

It would be extremely short sighted to completely end the annual pass program. Sure the parks are packed now, but that will subside. People will go back to normal vacation trends. Also, I hope they aren’t assuming everyone with annual passes will still go to the park just as much but pay daily tickets, because that won’t happen.

i bet is has more to do with this…
someone didn’t read the fine print, got there feelings hurt, and is now suing…. until this is resolved I bet you won’t see AP come back

And I predict a huge surge in DVC listings. Imagine if even 10% of people decided to sell. DVC direct sales would be screwed.
