Question about a DVC Gold Pass

[DisneyStarWisher]

My DH and I purchased our first APs in January 2020 right before the shutdown. We have not activated them yet. We have decided to take a break from Disney after this year's fall trip (where we will be buying 2-day PHs), so we do not want to activate them until sometime in the future. I thought they expired in 2030, but when I look at them on the Disney app, it says they expire 12/31/2099. Which date is correct?

The 2099 date is correct.

When you activate it will be the new Sorcerer pass as well.

Are they still including Photopass (or is it Memory Maker?) when Gold Pass vouchers get activated?

If you are activating the gold pass, you will have the memory marker for one more year.

They have been so I assume it will continue but who knows for sure if someone waits years to activate.

I too did the same, we are waiting to activate. Is it a requirement to go to Guest Services to activate? We bought them a couple of years ago.

You need to stop at either Guest Relations or a Park Ticket Window to activate Annual Passes. The Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs can also activate APs.

Do you have to call DVC member services to renew/update to the Sorcerer pass? Our's expired earlier this month and I need to renew during my window. Thanks!

Yes, unfortunately. And remember that tomorrow morning all the VGF owners will be calling in to book the new VGF Resort Studios, so hold off for a few days or be ready to wait on hold.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up! That would be a long hold I would imagine.
