News Disney extending Walt Disney World Annual Pass duration by an additional month

[Unbanshee]

Any guesses on when Disney might start selling new APs again? I know there's no saying for sure, but I'm really hoping they'll be available by the holidays ):

A guess? 2021

I’m making that same assumption. Maybe after the New Year? I think they don’t want to plan on a bunch of unhappy new pass holders who can’t get the park reservations they want for the holidays.

I don’t think APs will be sold until Park Pass is d/ced.

This is pretty sad. I feel like in forced to spend all my time at the competition. Granted Busch gardens has been surprising enjoyable.

What I don’t get is letting people renew, but not letting people buy new ones. It’s definitely easier for them to just shut it down than to figure out who gets to buy passes, since I’m sure one of the reasons is limiting capacity. Maybe they could just sell the highest tiers. It would weed out a few people.

Edit- never mind. See the discussion in the water park closure thread .

Am I missing a discussion somewhere else about the platinum plus being axed and refunds being issued for the water park amount for said AP’s? Basically, when your pass expires you can’t renew at the plus level any longer. Didn’t see the topic so figured I’d drop it here. Feel free to move/delete if I missed it!

Was told by a friend who purchased the $50/a day resident deal that she was asked if she wanted to upgrade to an AP. Wondering if she misunderstood somehow? I'll be at Yacht & Beach today and I'm tempted to ask if buying the $50/a day pass and upgrading is a potential loophole for FL residents but I doubt it. Anyone else hear anything similar?
