I don't blame you on the seasonal pass... I've considered renewing my AP to seasonal when the time comes. It's just too crowded during the summer anyhow. Do you feel like you miss out on anything?

you miss out on my birthday in a park which is why I got the AP, so I can be inside if I chose to be. Though the last 4 (counting the upcoming one) have been out of state or out of country... I normally celebrate it there after if that is the case.

I've never known you to be at the parks on your birthday... BUT after calculating the difference, ($85.00) I'd have to go less than times per year in order for it to be considered a savings. I calculated that based on $14.00 per day parking. Considering I go at least once a month, and usually twice a month during the value seasons, it's best for me to keep my AP

Makes sense, small price to pay in the long run for 365 days yr..plus the parking..will have to see I have time to decide

Hey everybody

To answer everybody's questions...

I don't feel like I miss too much 'cause the blackout dates are during the busiest times and I feel like I'd rather tour the parks without having to walk in teensy weensy baby steps .

That said, there are times during the summer when I think to myself...If I could just run over to Epcot for a little while...ahhhh But then I think of the 95 degree heat and the 98 percent humidity and the crowds and think 'maybe not'.

Also, DH was "between jobs" last year and I couldn't justify paying for an AP. Probably shouldn't have even gotten the seasonal but, hey, who needs to eat THREE meals a day . I gotta have my Disney fix KWIM?

You all have me thinking though... only $85 dollars more...no parking fee...DH is employed again...hmmm. I just may have to go for it next time.

not sure if the SP had it but AP had an extra 3 months for free this year too. Think that ends at end of August.

Thanks for the insight! I wanted to comment that in order to go from AP to SP, you have a FL AP renewal rate of $334...the CM I spoke with said that you can't get a SP renewal rate when downgrading so that would mean purchasing a new SP at $249.00. If you were to upgrade from a SP to AP it would be a $120.00 difference. Confusing I know....

So God willing I get a job FAST...here's the senario, my FL Resident AP expires July 27 and if I understand right I have a 30 day window from that date to renew is that right? AND we may still have the promo bonus of they'll add another 3 months onto the AP?

Thanks all !

DGS will be 10 on the 15th of this month when we go to DTD on the 26 th I have to pop into the Lego store...anyone know if this store sells gift cards and are they good for any Lego store? He's in NY..TIA

I was able to get our SPs before that promo ended so I did get the extra 3 months but I thought that ended on 12/31/2009. You mean I ran around like a lunatic trying to get to the Disney Store before it closed on New Years Eve for nothing?!

sorry to tell you Becky looks like it from what was said

Because I got the AP on July 27 2009 and then August the promotion was up & running...too bad too sad for me...nothing to be done about that BUT the promo is good through Aug 2010 ? that's what I want verified this way I missed out last time but won't this time

And for any sort of AP renewal, you can upgrade or downgrade at the renewal price of the new AP as long as it is within the window of 30 days on either side of renewal.

Hi C.F. !!! I dotn know if you remember but we met already... it was a big group at MK... and we sank the boat at POTC !!!!!

19A. 15 Month Annual Pass for the price of 12 months.

This is a promotion for renewal of current Premium Annual, Annual, and Florida Resident Seasonal Passes that is valid through August 31, 2010. If you have any current PAP, AP or SP and you renew the pass within 30 days of expiration and not later than August 31, the replacement Pass will be valid for 15 months instead of 12 months.




You made MY day and since I always renew at AK no hurries no worries Thanks, Ruthie

This is not correct. At the time of renewal you can upgrade or downgrade between any level of AP you are eligible to purchase, and you will get the renewal rate. Unless you were actually talking to a CM in a ticket booth or Guest Relations office you were talking to someone at a call center who does not deal with tickets.

Thanks CF. I did call and spoke with someone at the call center. I must have been misinformed. If so, it wasn't the first time and certainly wouldn't be the last.

Hey Ruthie! Are you still planning on going on the 26th?
I'm kind of undecided now. I need some convincing

 

[jmskinner]

So, what is the plan on the 26th? What park, what time, etc.? I may have my DS and DH with me, it turns out there is a Transformers convention at the Swan and Dolphin that day and I have to take my DS to that or he will never speak to me again.
