I had one of those for WDW that expired in August-platinum there is 365 days a year, parking, photopass and 20% merchandise discount. So it would be more like platinum plated.....Platinum pass.

I just got the Flex Pass and my app says this also. I agree with OP that I hope they actually do allow an upgrade to 3 days reserved at a time. We often make long weekend trips, and it seems a lot of the times we want to go, all 3 days are reservations required... I would pay to do this upgrade if it were offered.Has anyone else ever noticed this under their Flex Pass in the app? Mine says “Gold Pass may have...” I think it’s the first step to turning all of the passes into different tiers of reservation passes...
On my app it just appeared with the "the price of your ticket may be applied to upgrade to annual pass." and something about going to the ticket booth to upgrade.
But now that I'm remembering my underage son was able to have two annual passes at a time. Like posted they just asked for his birthday. When wife got asked for ID is when we hit the snag
Good luck. Let us know what happens!

If they did that, they could also add blockout tickets back for other levels of passes too. I'm still not sure why they don't to be honest.. I do wish you could make a 3rd reservation for a nominal fee, $10-$15/tix or something. It would help us out of towners make sure we can maximize our days with park access.
Welcome to the AP family, girl! Give yourself a great big virtual hug from me! Just to be safe, check your expiration date when you go to the ticket booth -- that's an AP tip no matter which level AP you get. (In other words, don't ever trust Disney to do anything "automatically" or correctly!) Will you be adding MP? Depending on how many days you'll be in the parks in the coming year, it might make sense, even If it's just for PP.... Will they change my expiration date for me when I pick it up? Will I have to ask for that, or does it happen automatically when I first enter the park? I am so excited about this pass! I have wanted to be in a place financially and baby-wise for like 15 years now to get an AP!
Thanks!! I already added MP. I'll just have to go enough that it pays for itself, right? And yes, I'll check the expiration date! I should have time that Friday evening before to do all that!Welcome to the AP family, girl! Give yourself a great big virtual hug from me!

I am trying to understand the trend of reservations. A weekend like the upcoming Veteran’s Day weekend books up almost instantly for DL (Saturday and Sunday) though DCA is still bookable for Saturday. Then a week like Thanksgiving doesn’t book up right away, and only just today does DCA book up for 11/29 (Friday after Thanksgiving) and you can still book DL for all the days of Thanksgiving. Why??
Do locals like to go more on 3 day Holiday weekends rather than big holidays like Thanksgiving? Is it that Thanksgiving is a weeklong holiday so that spreads out crowds better than a 3 day weekend? I ask because we are considering coming for MLK weekend and we would have to reserve Saturday and Sunday at 30 days, and then hope that we could get Monday after we use Saturday. Just trying to gauge it since we have to fly in.
Any thoughts on why Veteran’s day booked so quickly? Also is MLK going to be a possible nightmare due to projected opening of ROTR?
Day after Thanksgiving? Probably because it’s a long holiday weekend.Anyone know why Nov 29 DCA is booked up? Doesn't make any sense to me.
That's the first weekend of the holiday season. So I'm sure it will be crowded. Last year I remember Small World was 95 minutes at one pointAny thoughts on why Veteran’s day booked so quickly? Also is MLK going to be a possible nightmare due to projected opening of ROTR?
Potentially. I wonder if people will come since it was no secret that DL was slow when the first ride and land opened...I guess MLK weekend might be similarly crazy with ROTR opening the Friday of the long weekend...
Maybe, but they are handling this opening differently than they did the opening of SWGE with the reservation period, etc (unless they change something on short notice). I guess there are some that haven’t seen SWGE and are planning a trip as soon as ROTR opens, but I can’t imagine it is enough people to overwhelm the parks. I don’t expect that ghost town feeling we had when we went during the 3rd week of June this year, during the reservation period (that was amazing!). The other wild card is that ROTR may have technical issues and not actually open 1/17/2020, so that could put a ripple in a lot of people’s plans!Potentially.
