If you go to mde and pull up your tickets and passes, it will tell you exactly when your pass expires. I know cause I always get confused by this question myself and am often planning a trip right before the pass expires and need to be careful.
365 days. If you activated it 1/14/26 you will need to renew (or buy a different ticket) to enter a park on 1/14/27. MDE should show the expiration date.
It used to be the case that you got 366 days, but at some point they changed it to the still reasonable 365.
I activated last week and I can confirm that my expiration is 365 days later, not 366.

Yes, a renewal will always expire on the same date one year later. A first-time AP is valid for 365 days. It used to be a year + a day, so the first expiration was exactly one year from activation date but several years ago that changed and a new AP is only valid for 365 days.

I just activated a pass on January 27th, so I followed the instructions above to find out when it expires-it say January 26th, 2027. I know that I asked this same question, that it used to be that an annual pass was really good for 366 days, expiring on the same date that you activated it. But I was told that they closed that loophole a few years ago, and that it's now good for 365 days.
