When do APs expire exactly?

[jenny2]

On wdwig.com it says that APs are good for 366 days.

So lets say I buy an AP on April 1st and use it that day to get into the MK. Next year, what is the last day I can use that AP? March 31 or April 1?



Thanks for the help

Next year you can use it on April 1. And since next year is a leap year, that means you get 367 days of use. So shouldn't we all run out and get AP this year since it's a "bonus" year?
Last year I bought mine on June 17 and it expires on June 17. I asked the CM when I bought it, and she told me that means I can use it on June 17 this year.

Thanks for the quick reply, Simba's Mom

Ohhh... didn't even think of the leap year aspect. That in itself is a good enough reason to get one

As far as I know, if you renew an AP, you only get 365 more days (366 if a leap year). The anniversary date stays the same and I guess the anniversary date for an AP purchased on 2/29 is 2/28.

In most cases it is better not to renew but instead to buy a new AP when you visit next. Gains you an extra day too.
