NEW AP question

[dwight16]

just bought my new AP today and in my ticket and passes section and it says it expires 1 year from today i thought it was 1 year from the day you activate it.

I believe the certificate you have now 'holding' the AP expires in 12 months. Once you activate it within those 12 months (by entering a park), the AP is good for 1 year from that date.

You have one year to active the AP.
Next April 12th , it only retains the money/value to apply to another ticket.

Yes, this is the answer. I am shocked, shocked that the OP did not read the 12 pages of terms and conditions. You had to check a box that said you read it. (just kidding)

My new AP shows up in my MDE app as well as what’s left onf a 10- day NE pass. What’s the easiest way to make sure my AP is the primary pass on my account and my NE passes don’t get used? Thanks

Go to GR and make sure it’s listed first. Also, make sure when booking your park reservations you book them with the AP chosen.

It used to be you had to go to GR to set the "priority" to the AP the first time you used the AP (i.e., each renewal anniversary also). Theoretically, they've fixed this by making us pick the ticket we are making a park reservation with. I have both non-exp and AP on my account and since I've had to pick my ticket, I haven't had any problems with the NE ticket getting pulled (before that - I had to watch the NE days like a hawk because Disney IT would pull from the wrong ticket about 50% of the time)

Well, I had the issue in which it attached to the wrong thing and I couldn’t get in and it had to be fixed.

So, when I always confirm with GR when I have more than one!!

gotta love Disney IT.... I'm pretty sure that members of the DIS would fix these bugs for them if they ever asked.....

I have no doubt there are people who read every word of them, just in case they found some bombshell they could "expose" on social media or sites like this one. If they tried anything egregious, I trust the internet busybodies to have my back!

like this post if this discussion about terms and conditions make you think of the spot on South Park scene.

So I shouldn't have an issue then? I have dated Tix for May that I made park reservations for before buying APs last week. I want to use those dated Tix and not activate the APs until December.

Maybe, but I’d still make sure at GR….

For some reason lately, abbreviations are throwing me for a loop, what is GR?

Just purchased an AP after years of not having one. We have a trip planned for November at which time we will activate. My question is should we wish to take a resort only trip say in May would we be eligible to take advantage of the AP discounts on rooms without our pass become "activated"?

No. In order to pay the AP rate, and get any other AP discounts, one must have an active pass. They used to let you book the room before it was active, but not sure if that is still the case.

But, at check in, you had to show your pass to them and that it had indeed become an active pass...otherwise, people would just buy the voucher and keep it for the discounts without ever needing a new one...now, they have a one year expiration, but prior to 2021, they were good for a long time.
