Ticket booth question at Toy Story Parking Lot

[DisneyBiskit]

I know that you can purchase tickets for the park right before you get on the bus at the TS parking lot, but are you able to renew AP's there as well? We are going next week and our APs expire on the 18th. If we can avoid the lines at the ticket booths that would be great.

That's a Great Idea. Don't think so though.
Are you listening Disney?

They don't always have the ticket registers open in Toy Story, either. I once saw a portable ticket booth at the DTD monorail entrance. So about 2 weeks later I parked at DTD because I just wanted to add parking to my AP, and I thought it would be so easy, I could just zip in and out... Lo and behold, no ticket booth!

But if you enter on the Harbor side of the esplanade, there's pretty much never any wait if those windows are open. Even on the DTD side, there's usually an open window, you just need someone in your party to walk around the booth and find it while someone else waits in line.

Good advice, thanks!

Based on my experience, I'd say probably yes. While I haven't renewed an AP, I upgraded one from a Deluxe to a Premium at the Toy Story lot, and also purchased a blackout ticket for my DD. If they're equipped to handle that, I can't imagine they wouldn't be equipped to renew an AP.

I was just listening to the Dis Unplugged Disneyland podcast from last week, and according to them, the answer is no. You can buy tickets but not renew your AP pass.

Michael was trying to renew his premier pass. I don't know if the same holds true for Disneyland only passes. I'm going to ask him tonight (we're recording).
