There has been some contradicting information on for instance Twitter about people who have a fully stamped sponsorshipform, but whose AP's are expiring later than April, 29th.
The currect information that is available states that if you have a sponsorship with three stamps, collected before the current sponsorship form ends (March 23rd) and an AP that ends after April 29th, you have two choices:
- do nothing, and get 6 months free of the new AP (that matches your current one);
- have the form validated before the 29th of March, and get 12 months free of the new AP (that matches your current one).
So if you do nothing you lose 6 months of the new AP. Validating can be done at the BPA, at least that is what the current information says.
Any idea what the sponsorship deal will be for "old style" AP's validated after March?
We pick ours up in August and wondered if its worth advertising that we can sponsor people. Would we still get a 12 month extension when our passes run out in August 2012?
No one can probably answer, not even Disney!
As far as I know, the definining factor is the date you get your stamps.
Got them before March, the 28th? Then you still get 12 months of the new AP, if you have also validated the form. Validating seems to be an extra procedure and is not the same as getting the stamps!
Get the stamps later than March, the 28th? Then you get 6 months of the new AP.
I wonder if the terms and conditions of the Dream / Fantasy APs will change, or if cast members will explain when we get our Dream pass in August? We'll be sure to ask.
It sounds like they didn't think of all eventualities regarding old passes when they introduced the new passes and maybe they are making it up as they go along.
