I quickly searched through this thread and didn't see an answer, but apologies if this has been asked and answered. Our new expiration date for our APs is December. In addition to trips this year, we also have a trip scheduled for February. Our intention was to renew our APs instead of letting them expire and then starting a fresh clock in February, since we have no plans to take a trip the following Dec->Feb (we might as well save on the renewal price vs. the new price). However, we can't renew until 60 days out from our AP expiring, which is in October. Does that mean that we won't be able to make a park reservation until October, since we won't have valid tickets for our Feb trip until we renew our APs? Is there any way around this?
This would also be true for our August trip, but we're doing DVC for that and won't be able to book that until September, and hopefully by next August this won't be a huge issue.
