It is if it’s still available.
It used to be possible. I’m not sure if it will still be.
This is us. We have Christmas DVC reservations at VGC as well and I'm probably going to cancel. We used to have the Signature+ pass, and I miss it. We were able to enjoy a relatively sane Christmas in 2019. Feels like a long time ago! I was holding on to the reservation in the hopes that there would be a pass that covered the holidays. Have to do the calculus again but I suspect no pass makes sense to us now. We only do 2-4 trips a year from the Bay Area each year (4 days each). With 4 trips a MK would be worth, it but with only 2 trips it doesn't especially since all the less expensive passes block out weekends and holidays. Super bummed. We've had APs forever.
See the first post — it is a 30-day renewal window now.
Yes, I did know that was in the rules they sent in the emails and on the website, but this poster said they called customer service about their VGC stay in Nov, when their pass expires midway through, and the agent told them they could renew tomorrow.
no, not VGC...regular MK users
I just called to ask about this. It’s a 30 day window for everyone regardless of existing reservations. Once you renew, you are then able to make reservations for the dates on your new pass, but you have to wait until the 30 day window and hope that they still have renewals available as well as park reservations. It’s unfortunate timing for us since our passes expire in the middle of our VGC trip, and it’s not like we can even move that because VGC is fully booked.
We are in a similar situation… we have the week before New Year’s booked at VGC and now we’ll need to buy tickets. We’re still going because our vacations are scheduled around school, but I need to calculate whether it’s worth it to still buy MKs and pay over $2K each for “Dream Key” level coverage, or just reduce our trips and buy tickets instead.
They did away with that a few years ago.
I wonder if the 'surprise' in the magnet is RFID reader for parking to scan car instead of pass (for Inspire pass.) Noticed they've installed antennas at Mickey & Friends pointing at cars.
Thank you! I guess we'll all have to hope that we can still renew in Nov. Sorry about your Dec trip
I'm on the same boat. Our keys expire late October and we have a VGC week before Thanksgiving. I'm not going to risk it and I'm just going to buy 5 day tickets. No MK renewal for me which also means no 2nd trip to Anaheim. I've switched plans and going to WDW instead!
well, before yesterday, it wasn't sure if MKs were coming back at all and if ANYONE was able to renew. At least now there's a chance?
What a cool idea! But I agree it’s probably not happening. That’s a lot of work for a relatively small benefit for a relatively small group of people. Plus, like you said, magnet theft. But if there was a thing like a Magic Band for your car and an “express” lane that did not require a stop at the booth, that would be awesome.
