WDW AP sales coming back!

[cherokee_jacket]

With this news, I think that this old thread can be closed out

@vcka and @PrincipalTinker had this on their bingo card.

Checking Every Day?

My grandparents took us to WDW, Busch Gardens, Sea World and different 6 Flags. Gramps did almost every coaster with us. Granny watched. He was probably in his 60s. People seemed suprised he was riding and not just escorting my sis and me through the line

AP Sales for DVC starting April 13th

DVC members who have DVC Y on their digital cards can purchase APs a week earlier than others, so April 13th.

Looks like all you DVC will get a head start

Do you still have to pay extra for photopass?

[melcort10]

I’m personally surprised that A) there wasn’t a larger price increase and B) that there was not any type of restructuring at all. I am guessing that ticket sales are finally starting to soften if there was no real other reason for keeping AP sales closed.

@LTinNC82

pay extra for photopass?

Yes. (as far as I know, we had to add it when we renewed in February)

[LTinNC82]

It’s $99?

[ThorKat]

@LTinNC82

It’s $99

Yes!! We only add it to one of our passes. It’s annoying

[LTinNC82]

That makes the incredipass with photopass (that used to be included… cheapskates) is $1600. I have a Platinum Pass certificate on my account that I bought from Sams in 2018 for $829. That is an absurd price increase.

I think we’ll do Sorcerer Passes. Looking at blackout dates for the next year, none apply to us. If we want to upgrade for the next year after, we could do that.

[ThorKat]

@OBNurseNH

Sorcerer Passes. L

That’s the one I used to have

@Randall1028

we need a liner “house”

This is brilliant!!

[Dreamer]

I’m still pissed at Jan.

[cbalusek]

For those who have passes, do you get a discount when renewing the pass? Or does it renew at the same amount?

And I know this has already been asked in this thread, but double checking:
If I buy the pass on April 20, and don’t go to activate it until July, my renewal would be in July for 2024?

[ThorKat]

@cbalusek

do you get a discount when renewing the pass?

Yes our renewal was a little less.

@cbalusek

buy the pass on April 20, and don’t go to activate it until July, my renewal would be in July for 2024?

I think so, but since it’s been so long since they were sold

[TimSu]

Interesting! My 10-day ticket from last year, which had its expiry date pushed to Sept 2023 because of Ian, can that be upgraded? Because that’d save me probably $800, and would be a no-brainer for me.

It might be a no-brainer anyway.

ETA: Ah, it would make the pass only valid through Sept 23, 2023, since that was the first use date of my ticket. Never mind.

15%

@Randall1028

we need a liner “house”. I’m not even greedy and saying we should snag a golden oak property. Something off site, everyone can register as their “house” and air BnB that sucka to all liners.

Can we get that Harry Potter one???

[PrincipalTinker]

There was a question regarding how long you could hold the pass without activation. The one year rules are here:

[Jeff_AZ]

Ok my first question: Is there anything like the old “Premier” pass that is valid for both costs coming back?

This is important. Right @Julianne_fki and @Wahoohokie?

[PrincipalTinker]

I was listening to the Dis Podcast yesterday in my car. They said Iger was asked about that pass during the shareholders call and he said it was not coming back.
