I was going to renew online before we went as it was cheap. So when we got to the parks to renew it was more. I explained I would if done it online if it was more at the parks. They gave me a discount that was cheaper than online. Happy person.
For anyone with an AP that goes many times a year it is an excellent value to have a personal photographer. Besides when I go with other homies I use my photo connect for them too. If they want prints they can get them right there at a cheap price. If not, after the trip I email them the digital downloads.
