You will get AP vouchers, that won't be activated until your next trip!DH and I cancelled our APs last August and got partial refunds. Am I understanding correctly that I can call and ask to purchase new APs? If we do that over the phone when will they be active? We may not make it down until October/November.
Wow that’s great! I’ll try to call tomorrow and get it taken care of so I don’t miss out. Wonder how long they’ll allow this? And just to double check- these won’t expire?- they’re good until I’m actually there and activate them and then good for a year from that day? We’re planning for October but you just never know. Sorry if the answer is obvious but just making sure I understand correctly. Thanks!You will get AP vouchers, that won't be activated until your next trip!

Are you staying onsite? If so, I’d book a package with tickets. If you get your upgraded passes, call to drop the tickets & change it to a ticketless package. The nice thing about packages is you can change them without penalty until 30 days out. So you don’t “own” the tickets ahead of time. But you’re able to reserve park passes with them. If you get your APs, just make sure they’re linked before you cancel the package tickets.
Hello - has anyone (if you were approved for a “recovery AP pass”) been able to make an upgrade from the last AP you held?
Our APs expires May 2020. I called AP services tonight and was told we may be eligible to purchase the recovery AP passes, but we can only purchase at the same level we had before. Since we had Gold, this would mean we can only purchase Gold. I have a trip booked 12/26-1/2 and was really hoping to purchase Platinum passes.
Can anyone verify that this is correct - no upgrades allowed if, in fact, you are deemed eligible to purchase new passes?
Thanks!
I had no issues doing the opposite. I went from a Florida resident gold pass (payment plan) to a dvc gold pass( pay in advance) without any issues.has anyone (if you were approved for a “recovery AP pass”) been able to make an upgrade from the last AP you held?
Quick question...Are we still talking about renewals? on AP's or ones that were previously cancelled for a refund or such? Or are we talking about Upgrading/purchasing new ones.. I've been outta the loop for like 2 mos. And curiously waiting to upgrade what was originally a 10 day hopper *(Now only 3 days left) to a DVC gold.... Hoping I'm able to do this before our trip in 28 days... TIA

Are you then able to link the vouchers to your MDE account to make park reservations?
Something you could consider is booking a package anyway. I think the deposit is only $200, and final payment isn’t due for quite some time, but having that package gives you the ability to book park passes now while waiting for the tickets you want to become available. Then when you get the tickets you want (or the ones you finally have to buy), you cancel the entire package, not just the tickets. As long as you link the new tickets to MDE before you cancel the package, you’ll keep your park reservations.We are DVC staying on points so no packages. That would be nice to be able to cancel them like that. Thanks though!

Thanks! That’s brilliant. I assumed park passes were tied to the tickets you made them with. I’m glad to know they are not!
So far as I know, the DVC and cash reservation systems don’t talk to each other. But what you could do is put a different lead guest on each one, similar to what we do when booking 2 DVC villas for the same dates.oh, but if we already have DVC reservations under our names, doesn’t the system cancel any reservations for the same people on same night?
Yup, 3 phone calls to the AP line and a few online chats. First call to let them know I'd like to buy passes again. Second call to ask if they could expedite the call since we're traveling this month from out of state and I need to finalize my plans-that CM told me they don't expedite calls. 3rd call I was on hold for over an hour and they told me they would transfer me to the team that expedites calls. The AP extension team told the CM to relay the message to me that "Rest assured, I would be contacted before I traveled." I've never had to work so hard to give a business my money.Sooooo I just called last night for the heck of it, explained my story and they let me buy two Epcot After 4 passes with will call at Disney Springs July 3. Have you just tried calling VIPassholder line?
