New AP holder Questions

[Riniel]

So I just bought my first AP! My question is, where is the processing center now located? How long should it take? And will I have to bring ID as well as my eTicket? Thanks!

No processing center anymore, just take it to the ticket booth. If you have the e-ticket, you can go in without first processing it, but if you're not in a time crunch, better to get it out of the way. Then you have to go in and find a photopass person to take your AP photo. It doesn't appear on the card anymore, just on the screen when you scan into the parks.

I should mention, it has to be done that first day you enter the park. Both converting it to the card and the photopass picture.

Yes, take I.D. along with your e-ticket.

Ok that makes sense! Thanks for the quick responses guys!

Do we need to show our AP at check-in or when we check out?

I was planning on buying the 3-day park hopper tickets and then upgrading the last day to AP for everybody.

I have already made reservations for next November with the retro rate! It's our first time at HoJo and we are excited!

Please let me know about the AP question.

Thanks,
Jan

I booked the retro rate in August but hadn't yet turned my AP voucher into the actual AP. The front desk person who checked me in just asked me to come by and give my room number and show my AP whenever I got it before checking out.

I have a related question...

Do I need to bring along some form of ID for my kids for their APs? If so, what kind? They're only 8 and 12yrs.

Thanks!

The kids should not need any type of id. As you said they are only 8 & 12.
