Maybe a silly question about APs but. . .

DH and I purchased APs in May of 2003 for our trip because we knew we would travel to WDW before they expired. We made reservations for transportation & hotel for March of 2004 and then DH was diagnosed with kidney stones, which were causing him a lot of pain. The doctor wrote him a note stating that he was unable to travel - we were able to get a full refund from transportation without any problems (from Amtrak). We then decided that we would renew our APs in May because we would go down in September and perhaps March. So we rescheduled our trip for September of 2004 and because of the hurricanes, we needed to reschedule again (had no problems rescheduling our flights and weren’t charged any fees due to the weather). DH is unable to take any time off of work between Oct - Dec. so now we rescheduled for 10 nights in January and we hope all goes well. Do you think, only under these circumstances, that WDW would allow us to pay the difference for new APs instead of renewed APs? I think I may call just to check – it couldn’t hurt, right?

You're right. It couldn't hurt. I hope you get an extension or something!

You have renewal vouchers? I would think they would apply the cost to new AP's since they were never activated.

 

[DNBois]

Yes, we renewed our passes in May of 2004 but haven't used them since and won't be able to until January. You think they could apply the renewal vouchers that haven't been activated yet to new APs?

I thought renewels were active immediately. Thats the way it was a year ago at least. Besides if you go for 10 days in Jan you have more then paid for the renewel. Why do you want to switch to new ones.


Confused

 

[DNBois]

Yes, you are right - the renewals are active the day after the old ones expire which in our case was May 3rd of this year. We would pay the extra $80 or $100 to trade them in for new APs that would start upon our trip to WDW in January so we could use them for another Magical Gathering Trip in December of next year. We are going to call and just see what they say - it can't hurt.

I don't think they will let you. But please post and let us know what they tell you. I would like to know myself.
