APs are coming

[keishashadow]

I think someone said about $813 if you include tax.

Ouch
thank you

Wow, get yet another covid booster, go down in flames for a few days, come back here & see the Pooh has hit the fan

cliff notes version please, as I still have thumping headache…

Our last Gold renewal was $650 or so.

Barring no additional price increases, what will the Sorceror set us back when renewal time rolls around?

To renew to Sorcerer it will run you $764 plus tax. The new annual pass does not include Photo Pass, so if that is something you want it will be an extra $99. But it only looks like one person needs this to get the benefits.

Just to add, they did say the Photopass will be less at renewal as well

Was just reading that annual passes can now sellout at WDW. If they shutdown AP sales in a month a lot of people will be very upset.

I also read they said the same about DL Magic Keys, which are still completely available. So, hopefully no problems with APs running out!

Ouch
thank you

The Sorcerer Pass also now blocks out Wed-Sat around Thanksgiving.

The cynical part of me wonders if that’s really true, or if they’re saying it to drive sales. ;-)

If you add WP to the sorcerer's pass, are you also blocked out at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the waterpark(s)?

They said the same thing about Magic Keys at DL selling out. On the day those went on sale, there were 7+ hour long waits. As far as I can tell all Keys are available still.

I would expect they will sell as many Keys and APs as they can but just limit the Key/AP park reservation buckets. You might have a Key/AP but no guarantee of availability.

I just wish they gave Key holders staying on property the same consideration that AP holders get but oh well.

No block out dates on the Water Park & Sports add-on.

I need advise on how to handle.

If I have one day left on my ticket on Sept 8th, can I call on Sept 8th to upgrade to AP before the ticket expires? I cannot physically be at the guest relations or ticket booth to upgrade since I would have already return back from my trip. I wasn't sure if being at Guest Relations or ticket booths was required when taking a partial used ticket pass to upgrade to AP vs an unused pass.

I'm on the fence whether or not to upgrade, but wanted to know my options since I have a trip right before Sept 8.

Just to double check ... you can only buy the Sorcerer's Pass if you are a DVC Blue Card member? Thanks all and good luck to us on Sept 8!!

That would be correct. The Sorcerer AP is only available to FL residents and blue card DVC members.

I still cannot find the APs under the DVC Member page after login. It's always been extremely buried it seems to me. Could somebody point me in a couple of steps to how to find it? I'm generally pretty savvy but I've looked and I can't find it and apparently according to some, it's back. Thanks.

It's on the "Home" page below the "News & Alerts" section.

Just double checking that when you buy any AP, it doesn't get activated until your first park day. Correct? So if I go in January but buy now, the "year" doesn't start until January whatever.

This is the biggest blow of them all for us. Thanksgiving is our favorite trip.

What you would actually be purchasing is an "Exchange Certificate". While Disney no longer sends anything out, they still call it that internally. Once you arrive at WDW, you must first stop at either a park ticket window or guest relations location to activate the pass. Under most circumstances, the expiration date of the annual pass is set upon actual first entry into a park.

What time does the phone line open to purchase AP’s on September 8th?

If you want the Sorcerer Pass, 9 am eastern when MS opens. No DVC pricing on the top tier Incredi-Pass, so you can call ticketing beginning at 7 am eastern for that one.

Check "Annual Passes" under "Parks & Tickets" at disneyworld.com before you call to see if they are available online.
