Yes the checkout page is definitely live right now, just spoke to someone who purchase in the last minute. Problem is that its total luck to reach without getting the VQ.

News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
On a slightly different note regarding the early wake up call to order an AP this morning 
The Florida Division of Emergency Management issued an apology: "We know a 4:45 AM wake up call isn't ideal FLSERT wants to apologize for the early morning text. Each month, we test #emergencyalerts on a variety of platforms. This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping. We are taking the appropriate action to ensure this will never happen again and that only true emergencies are sent as alerts in the middle of the night."

Anyone back from Recalculating or still stuck there?

I really don't know what is going to be be possible quite honestly. No clue what to expect as they say that AP's could sell out at anytime. That's the million dollar question... could that be done at anytime?!? Our renew window isn't until January... so as it stands I currently now have a sorceror AP and hubby's is still a pixie dust AP. So it's kind of big looming dark cloud until it gets figured out.

Currently…this appears to be “hyenas on a fresh carcass”…
It sends the wrong message to Disney…but whatever.
To answer your question: there was a frenzy last week for the first day…then things died down a bit. That may happen here…or they may shut the door.
Part of EVERY Disney sale is an “intelligence gathering operation”…in the end.

For the prior poster, I believe she said they both already have AP and just wanted to upgrade. I thought that switching those at renewal time was guaranteed. Kind of the back door way in for Floridians as they could buy the cheapest pass and then switch up to Pirate or Sorcerer after 12 months.

I believe they did not allow “upgrades” unless the pass was available?
Which meant no upgrades
But I didn’t follow it that closely

You have to link it…and it will activate on use. You also still have to have park reservations which would require you to link it anyway
Was waiting for the queue at 6 am, joined as soon as it opened at 6:50, wait time got down to 23 minutes at 7:52 and then went up to over an hour and then the recalculating and now at 46 minutes. Really hadn’t planned to take the day off of work for this!!

They allowed upgrades over phone or in person but not online until now.

We would have purchased the sorceror AP right off the bat if we could have back in January but as we know they were not available at that time. So I just wanted to upgrade them both. I was able to easily upgrade mine, but it would not allow me to add my hubby's to the cart to upgrade. So now I have one upgraded and one not in my family. So I just hope to get thay figured out in a timely manner.

So in 2022 you could upgrade a Florida resident to a super duper pass that wasn’t sold for years?
Hmmm

Yes I'm wondering this too....
