Ticket question

That makes sense. Why would anyone buy a renewal then if there is less of a discount on it than an new AP?

Well certainly those who live nearby and can take several unplanned trips would benefit from renewals. OR, If you are going to be going back a couple months after expiration, it might make sense to do a renewal.

Back years ago, Disney used to let you renew APs within 30 days, but you didn't have to activate them until your next trip. That meant that we could renew at the current price and then not reactivate the pass until our next trip. They found and closed that loophole though, so we stopped renewing. I forget now how many years the DVC discount has been in order for APs. We have gotten APs for years, even before the discount. It has always made sense for us.

Thanks for all of the input. I appreciate it. It is so nice to come here and always find "Disney Friends". who are so helpful. Now, I guess I just have to decide if we will be able to stick to the plan of going the week earlier next year before I buy the APs. Although, I can buy the voucher and as long as we don't activate the APs I can keep them right for another year?
Maybe as it gets closer to November for this years trip we will have a more definate plan for the next year. I am a planner and do plan a year ahead for vacations, but two years ahead is a little tougher......
