Clarification on AP renewal

[djc9699]

Okay, I have read Robo's ticket thread (wonderful! by the way). However, I am still confused. I am renewing an AP for the first time. We are arriving for our next trip on Dec 15th. My pass expires on the 17th of Dec so I want to renew as early as I can to make fast passes. So I understand I can renew 60 days ahead. Do I then need to stop at guest relations or will call to activate the renewal or will it be 'ready to go' like a ticket added to MDE? If we need to, would I be able to activate it on the evening of the 15th when we arrive or would I need to wait for the one I have to be expired? We are staying at BWI so no big deal to walk over and activate it. I just need to know when I can.

1. I want to renew as early as I can to make fast passes.
2. So I understand I can renew 60 days ahead.
3. Do I then need to stop at guest relations or will call to activate the renewal
4. or will it be 'ready to go' like a ticket added to MDE?

1. Good plan.
2. Correct.
3. Nope.
4. Yes. (It MIGHT be that -at some point during your trip- you will want to get a new "AP Card" for
for getting AP discounts on shopping and meals for the next year, but I'm not sure THAT is even needed.)

Thanks for the kind words about the Ticket Sticky!
