Not sure where you are staying but, when we go to activate our AP's we usaullydon't arrive on our first day till after 3pm or later so we check-in at our hotel and then walk through the market place in downtown diseny. You can activate your pass in there. I am not sure of the exact location but I think it is near the largest store in the market place if your standing in front of the store it will be on the right of it, there will be bathrooms also. It is a small area and it is a bit hidden but most paople don't realize it's there so you can get in and out quick, plus, you don't have to wait in line on the day you are ready to hit the parks.
