    Random Annual Pass Renewal Questions

    I currently have the SoCal AP with parking, and it expires on 10/17. Does that mean I can use it on 10/17 or only until 10/16 (or the 15th since I think the 16th is a blackout date)?

    I paid my renewal online and upgraded to Premium, I originally only wanted Deluxe, but since parking is $100 (!!!) I decided the extra $30 was worth it. Will I get my pass before 10/17? Say I get it next week, can I use it on the SoCal blackout dates or use the additional discounts? Not trying to get away with anything, but I'm just hoping I get the pass before the old one expires because I have plans to go on 10/17.

    I remember when the parking add-on was only $50. Geez! But I can see how families or couples only need one pass with parking so I can see why they'd raise it.

    Yes. As soon as you have your premium pass in hand, you can use it. You can use your pass on the expiration date. You can enter the park on Oct 17 based on your exp date. As soon as you have your premium pass, you can use it on the 16th!

    I have another question that I thought I saw on another thread but I can't remember for sure or not. Is there a grace period for renewing my pass?

    Example, my pass expires today but I forgot to renew. Can I renew it tomorrow at the discounted price or do I have to pay full price?

    Any info would help.

    Thanks

    Also, and this is the more important one, if you do the monthly payment option and your pass expires (same situation as above) do you still have to place a down payment for the passes or do you just get to go forward with payments.

    Thanks Again.

    There is no grace period. If your pass expired yesterday, you could have gone online and renew to get the discount. Now, it is full price. If you renew with payments, you don't pay a down payment. If you miss the renewal, you have to do the down payment.

    So, how much does it cost to renew the Deluxe AP?

    This is weird. After I posted my second question I went to the passholder website and went looking. Exasperated, I looked at the terms and conditions and the very last paragraph said this

    Quote Originally Posted by Passholder Terms and Conditions
    Any renewal discounts are valid only until the applicable current Passport's expiration date when renewed online. Passports that are renewed at the Main Entrance ticket booth with a renewal discount and after such Passport's expiration date will expire 12 months from the original Passport anniversary date. All terms, conditions and benefits including, but not limited to, admission privileges, blockout dates, prices, parking locations, and discounts are subject to restrictions, availability, and change or cancellation without notice at any time.
    The TAC was last updated in April of this year so I called the passholder line and spoke with a CM who told me that after the expiration date you could still get the renewal by mail but not in person or online. I informed the CM of what I found on the passholder website and she said that they do change the policy from time to time and put me in touch with someone in ticketing to verify.

    I then spoke with CM Heather who told me that yes you can renew in person at the renewal rate after the expiration but that there is a 30 day rule in effect. If you are at or around 30 days it is up to the CM at the ticketing booth to decide if they will give you the discounted rate and the 0 down monthly payment option. Of course your expiration date doesn't change so you won't be getting a full year.

    The reason I ask is that I have family who forgot to renew last Sunday when their passes expired. They want to renew but didn't want to pay the down payment for the monthly payment plan. This info should help.

    I've let my AP lapse but will be getting a new one shortly. Since my info is in the computer system already, can I take my paper e-ticket to the ticket booth to get my new card, or do I still have to go to the AP processing centre? Thanks!

    Either place should work!
