Disney Ticket Price Increases Expected
Disney increased the prices of all Annual Passes at both Walt Disney World (Florida) and Disneyland (California) on October 4, 2015. We believe price increases for multi-day tickets are not far away. The last time Disney raised ticket prices was February 22, 2015, and while usually Disney raises prices about once a year, we think signs point to an increase sooner rather than later. There is also some suggestion that Disney may be moving to a tiered ticketing scheme, in which you’ll pay more for tickets that cover peak seasons like Christmas or Spring Break. There have been several stories hinting that direction, including this one and this one. It’s also not completely outside the realm of possibility that Walt Disney World will start having all of its tickets expire even if never used, just like Disneyland tickets do now. In addition, if you’re planning to visit Universal Orlando, you should know that they often raise their ticket prices a few days after Disney raises theirs.

This is no different they are just basing this off what Disney has done in the past. There is no date here on when they believe it will take place.

That had been there for a couple months now. About every week or so somebody mentions it as new news lol

Question for anyone in the know: Do Universal tickets expire? Thinking of getting a set of those for a few years from now when the kid is older and able to appreciate things (he's 16 months).

Check the Universal forum if you haven't yet. I don't think that they do but as soon as I say that I'll find out that there are exceptions.

AP never starts until you activate at the gate, correct? Is there a time limit on activation?

Correct...unless it's s renewal price or an upgrade that goes live then.

The vouchers for AP used to have a limit - I think it was 12/31 of the following year to activate.

I don't know what it is now.

I wouldn't buy early unless I knew I was going to go that year (and a clear idea of when to revisit). Just something to be mindful of. The renewal price is attractive, but I think when it comes down to it, the typical number of months (for me) between visits makes buying the AP this way more attractive.

If I can save a few bucks picking it up in March instead of November, so be it.
