Annual Pass - Renew or Wait

[Itoddmickey]

I have a trip at the end of my current AP in September, my next planned trip would not be until December, a few days short of 3 months. I believe the cost difference is $150, do I renew my pass to save or wait to push my valid pass date out 3 more months?

I guess it depends on what your plans are after December. My initial reaction is to renew - but if you can wait an extra 3 months to get an extra trip out of a new pass (perhaps something Oct/Nov of 2025?), they buy new in December. For a while, there was a concern (at least for us) that they'd stop selling new APs again, and only do renewals - but that concern doesn't seem to be as big of an issue at this point.

We have further plans after December, 3-4 trips a year. Didn't think about the potential removal of new APs, added point of risk I hadn't thought about. I look at it as being able to buy 4 APs to cover 5 years of trips if we go every 3 months or so. Thanks

Sorry - didn't mean to give you one more thing to worry about with your decision!
