DVC AP- age 9 turning 10

[cheezNE1]

I have 9 yo that will turn 10 this november. Should i purchase the 3-9 ap or 10 and over for him now? If I get him the 3-9yo ap, will he still be able to use it when he turn 10 before it expires?

If you will start using it before they turn 10, you are okay with buying the child's pass and it will still work through end of year. Had the same happen when our older son turned 10 mid-year of having our annual pass.

If he will be 9 the first time the pass is used, purchase the child ap. Once he turns 10, they will convert the child pass to an adult pass at no charge.

If he will be 10 the first time the pass is used, purchase the adult ap.

Pricing is the same for the APs regardless of age.

Thanks.

Don't the child APs cost the same as the adult APs now? If so, then does it matter whether the OP buys an adult pass vs a child pass? It makes me wonder why Disney continues to sell a child AP if it costs the same as an adult pass.

When I purchases the DVC AP for my DD, age 3 at the time, the CM at MS informed me that there was no longer a price difference between a child AP and an adult AP.

Even though the price is the same, there is still a distinction between an age 3-9 pass and a 10 & older pass. The child (age 3-9) MYW tickets and passes don't require finger scans for park entry, the adult (ages 10+) MYW tickets and passes require finger scans.

It bugs me when things don't appear to make sense and now it does make sense so thank you for that information!

We have been AP for the past four years and my DD, currently 9, has been finger scanning for 2 years now at WDW.

My daughter is nearly 12 and still has a child AP as does my nearly 11yr old. Thats what the ticketing CM has issued them each year. I don't like the scanning thing for them so that works for me. Occasionally the CM at the gate will tell my daughter to put her finger down and I just tell them she doesn't scan. It is normally long green by the time they are insisting. LOL I figure if there comes a time that they are fussing about it then we will have it foxed at GR but until then Im not messing with it.

Why not?

I have to ask what is the difference between the child ap and the adult? They ride the same rides. The price is the same.

Why not?

because I don't want to play games with the finger scan. As a local, the gates are not that exciting to me and it gets annoying trying to maneuver around clueless guests. If they don't have to scan them I can scan all the bands including mine (with the finger scan) faster than most can even get one scanned. Eta- this sounds crabbier than I meant it to.
