I upgraded our Gold passes to Platinum when in the parks in February as we decided to meet family over Easter in the parks after a cruise. Obviously, that fell thru. No other major blackout days in premium left on our current pass time period even if we wanted to visit over another holiday.What some are saying in this thread is that those options do not work as well for those outside Florida that paid for their Platinum or Platinum Plus passes thinking they would get some specific trips and dates out of their pass.
Filed that under it is what is. Believe that cost us just shy of $200 per person.
I can not get the information i need regarding my current AP RENEWAL VOUCHER from DVC member service, ticket customer service or anyone. I have been on the phone with different departments-including hold time for 1.5 hours.
Here is my concern:
Our Platinum Annual Passes were to expire December 18, 2019. I got the email to renew but I wanted to renew to the GOLD AP since we bought DVC in May 2019. I was directed to member services and was able to RENEW to the Gold AP at the renewal rate. I was told I needed to go to guest services to activate the Gold AP renewal passes.
Here is what I want to do:
I would like to pay the difference between the renewal price and a new pass to get new passes instead of the renewals. Why? Because if we can't go at the end of May and use them then the next time we will use them is September. I told the Ticket CM and DVC member services and member services said I could go to guest services and maybe do that. What do you think?
Also, she said my renewal expires December 08 not the 18th. I renewed online over the phone on December 8, but my Platinum pass did not expire unitl December 18 and so why does my voucher have December 08? Because if that is the case then they owe me money from the Platinum Pass - I guess I could take that up with guest services also.
Also, will the extension to APs make us have a NEW EXPIRATION DATE? I would think so since if they extend it say 2 months and in my case that would be February and so my RENEWALS would be February not December. If they don't give NEW expiration then the annual passes are not good for 12 months. In my case, it would only be good 10.
Last thing.... TIW is going to be extended also, right??
You might want to ask to speak to a supervisor to address your specific needs.
Standard to visit guest services to activate the Gold AP renewal passes. You need to produce your DVC card & photo ID. Have you linked the confirmation # to your MDE account? That allows you to make your FP+ allotments going forward past your current expiry date
Not sure of current policy as to the varying tix pricing structure/expiry dates in play, but It was my understanding that the value of the APH vouchers could be applied to whatever tix media as long as the voucher is unused. Believe you need to trade ‘up” ‘better/costs more $”.
When you next visit, deal with GS outside the park gates or in DTD. Willing to bet they will definitely work with the guests.
One concern that crossed my mind is whether they will the expiry dates of the complimentary 1 day PH tix given out due to RoTR snafu.
