365 days. Unless you manage to cross a leap year, then you get a bonus day!

You probably already know this, but if you were to renew the AP the following year, it would be good 4/16/26-4/15/27 (in your hypothetical), no matter when you used it the first time.

Excuse me while I google when the next leap year is

Excuse me while I google when the next leap year is

It’s every 4 years, always the next Presidential election year.

It’s every 4 years, always the next Presidential election year.

For sure will take advantage of it next time, makes Bday trips cheaper!

But it’s still just one year, with the next renewal starting 4/16/xx and expiring 4/15/yy. The extra day literally is just leap day and keeps the renewal dates stable.

I think I know my answer, but asking for help from all of you experts
Our trip is Tues-Tues. We plan to do parks on Wed, Thurs, Sun and Mon. 4 Day Park Hopper is perfect for most of us...but my husband is taking a day to hang out with a friend so a 3 Day is all he needs BUT, it will not be eligible on our last park day as it will be past the 5 day window. Any tips?? Or are we stuck buying him a 4 day? Also I have looked at rearranging our park days but what I have set works the best.

Quick question to see if you can still upgrade normal magic your way tickets for 5 or 6 days to an annual pass while in the parks after using one day of the ticket. THANKS!

Yes, current dated theme park tickets can be upgraded to AP -- anytime before the park closes on the day you use the last entry.

My Adult daughter just tried to buy(app & laptop), has kicked the money back each time.
Called the CC and it's not at there end. Called Disney and now they want to charge extra $25 to send her the tickets in the mail. This is a mess.
Anyone else having issues

Hi there! I’ve searched but not found an answer. There used to be a master thread but I believe the OP passed away .

I am going to WDW in April and probably going to buy a pass from Boardwalk Ticketing for a $82 savings. I’m thinking of upgrading to an AP while there. The cost of a 10-day park hopper at BWT is $889.79. The same pass on the WDW website is $971.51.

In the past I’ve been able to “price bridge” and pay the difference between the gate price of the pass and price of the DVC AP, retaining my savings. Does Disney still do that? Or, do they credit me the price I paid to BWT?

If they’ll price bridge, I’ll buy from Boardwalk Ticketing and save $82. Otherwise, I’ll buy gift cards at 5% off (saving $48 instead) and use them to buy from Disney.

Is the credit card company seeing the charge attempting to come through, or are they just telling you your account is okay? I am wondering if there could be a mismatch somewhere in the info you are giving Disney and the information on your cc account so it is rejecting without ever hitting. Double check your address and phone number on your cc account vs what you are giving to Disney to make sure it all matches. If you have a middle initial on your cc, you may need to include it in the First Name box on MDE.

I had a few issues trying to replace my old landline number on my MDE account with my mobile number. I would have to go into MDE, change it, immediately go to purchase, and then it would go through. Once I logged out of my Disney account, the old number would repopulate and the next time would be an issue. It could be something that simple.

I renewed my AP online today and didn’t have any issues with it going through, but I did have to add my middle initial to the first name (think Jane D vs just Jane).

 

[Tigger2ntinkerbell]

Found the issue, it was with Disney. They did not updated her home address even though her updated address is in MDE. Just odd. And the CM did say she was mistaken about the delivery charge.

You'll receive credit for the WDW online price as of the date you purchase from BWT (so $971.51 based on your post). IF by chance a ticket increase occurs between now and your visit, you don't get "current" price or "gate" price.

It'll be interesting to see if this offer is popular with guests. Seems like it would miss the mark for many families with kids who love the Magic Kingdom.

In the past they included a 4 day - 4 park ticket for $99 per day that included MK. I was disappointed not to see that announced as well.

 

[thanxfornoticin]

I know. I expect this announcement means that one isn't coming back, at least for 2025. But you never know with Disney!

I've posted this link in a few other threads about the new ticket deal. Good article from Tom Bricker. Long, but interesting (as all his articles are):

Question with this ticket. So I can buy a 1 day MK ticket and this 3 day ticket for a two in May for about $519. The 4 day, 1 park per day ticket is $627. So my question is can I simultaneously hold the 1 day MK ticket and the same time as the 3 day ticket? I want to go to HS on Monday, Epcot on Tuesday, MK on Wednesday, and AK on Thursday.

Yes, you can hold multiple tickets at the same time.

Yes, you can hold multiple tickets at the same time.

I have a similar question. I have a package deal right now that requires purchasing at least a 3 day ticket to get a good discount on the overall package. Right now, we have a 6 day ticket. Can I get the 3 day tickets (good at any park) through the package deal and then buy the 3 day (one park at a time) ticket? Would I be able to use the package ticket one day, then the other ticket and then finish the package ticket? For instance, I plan to go to MK then Epcot, HS, AK, back to MK and then Epcot. Is it always going to use the package ticket first and then go to the 3 day ticket? Would I be able to have a hard ticket to use for the 3 day and use magic band for the other? Just trying to figure out if I can make it work to save some money.
