Are You Planning Renewing Your Current AP or Waiting it out for a Potential EPIC Version?

I’m up for AP renewal. Have no plans to visit U parks until next summer, even then probably just EPIC. Thinking to just start up a new AP for HHN trip. Makes no sense to me to pay for 10 months of non usage.

Received a couple of interesting surveys that including AP interest. Got me thinking as to whether there are many other regular APH in the same situation…deciding whether to let their passes go until it becomes known if there will be a EPIC pass/next year’s tix prices have been announced.

I got our Epic AP tickets waaaaay back in Nov '25 for a day in Dec (a Monday, ugh). Our APs expired in Jan. Don't plan to renew it until 2027 or later, regardless of what's offered. We're out of state and generally get a few trips out of an AP and then let it lapse for a year +.

I did not renew my AP when my renewal period came around. I'd rather wait for Epic to be added and I don't mind if that's in a few years from now. I've heard a lot about Epic's operational issues and would rather visit the park when those problems have been sorted out. Plus I am in the early stages of 2026 trip planning and those plans do not include Universal so I don't see a need for an AP next year.

Gonna renew our passes, but have no interest in paying anything additional for Epic.
Went on one of the preview days, and that was plenty to hold me over for a few years.

Not exactly any of these options. Mine expires in early January. I'm planning one more trip at the very end, and then will wait to see what happens with APs and what my vacation plans are. I will probably take a quick trip that just includes a day at Epic with my older daughter who has not yet been there.

But this is my third AP as an out of state passholder and I have never renewed and instead took a year or a few years off, so I can't say it's just the current uncertainty. Eventually I want to spend winters in Florida and have an AP for all three parks, but that's years from now.
