Will Leap Year Change My Annual Pass Expiration Date?

[GatorLady]

I didn't see any reference to a Leap Year exception in the DIS Ticket Sticky, but the following is stated on the Mousesaver website:

"An Annual Pass is good for 366 days. If you buy one on April 8, 2015, it will be valid through April 8, 2016! (Yes, you get an extra day, except in Leap Years.)"

So, 2016 is a leap year. If I activate my ticket on June 4th 2015 will my ticket expire on
June 3rd 2016?

Since I don't always get accurate information when I call Disney, I though I would ask all the DIS experts!

TIA

I cannot personally confirm, but what I recall from 2012 is you would get an extra day--meaning 367 total days of use. I realize this contradicts Mousesavers, but I think in this case they may be wrong.

Thanks Mesa, I appreciate your input, and I hope you are right!
We are going a week later than normal and doing a short Universal visit first so we can fit in a nice long trip next year. It didn't even occur to me that this could be an issue!

It's the same date. You get feb 29th as the extra day that year. Not sure how mousesavers has gotten that so wrong but it is wrong. Normal year is 366 days, leap year is 367 because it goes from, say, April 6 2015 through the end of
April 6 2016.
