Renewing AP with a base ticket?

[mrzrich]

I will be on the DDP when I go in August. My AP expires in August. If I use my package base ticket to upgrade to an AP do I qualify for the renewal discount?

Also I have heard conflicting info about the renewal discount, some say you must renew before the pass expires, others say you have 30 days after it expires. Which is it?

Oh Cheshire Figment! I know you know the answers to this!

You qualify for the renewal discount if you currently hold any annual admission media and wish to renew it. Having an unused MYW ticket to apply towards the cost does not disqualify you.

You have up to 30 days after the expiration date shown on your AP to renew at the renewal price as a matter of policy. Your renewed AP will be backdated to the same date of your original AP's expiration but one year later.

Example: Your AP expires on July 15, 2007. You renew it on August 14, 2007. Your renewed AP will expire on July 15, 2008.

To get the renewal rate you must be with 30 days on either side of the expiration date. The new AP will have the same calendar date the next year for expiration.

If you renew before the expiration date you must still use the old AP for entry up to (and including) the expiration date; if you try to use the new one the turnstile will reject it stating "NOT VALID DATE".

Basically you will be upgrading the one day ticket to an AP and getting the renewal rate.

Thanks, I was hoping for that answer. I am going in late August for Free DDP with a one day base, but my AP expires on August 9th.
