Checking back in to see if Disneyland is refunding or extending the tickets that expire 12/31/20 or if they’re still pulling the “apply it to a ticket in the future at a ticket booth in person” crap?

Same crap, although someone posted in the speculation thread today that their's have been mysteriously extended. Hoping it's a sign of things to come.

Hoping that we get an official announcement about the regular multi-day tickets being extended. Then I will post that news here.

Someone else posted about extended regular multi-day tickets (extended until Jan. 12, 2022) in the Speculation Superthread. That person also got a refund. I'm still waiting for something official that I can post here, but it might be worth calling Disney to check on your tickets' expiration date to find out what's going on.

From the Flex Pass Superthread:
We have a report of a requested AP refund being posted. If you requested an AP refund, start checking your credit card statement to see if your refund is there.

I just noticed that my refund was posted a few days ago to the credit card I used to purchase my passes which expired in September. I got a standard prorate including the max pass portion for the closed days, so almost half what I paid was refunded.

I received the refund for my Signature pass that expired in August on Nov. 6th!

Hmm...good to know. My son's signature pass expired August 6. He requested the refund option months ago. Haven't gotten one yet but maybe soon.

How did Disney "Pro-Rate" the refund for your specific pass?

How did Disney "Pro-Rate" the refund for your specific pass?

I had Signature with MaxPass and received approx $3.49 per day of closure. So a bit over $500 for the refund.

Considering I started with a 5 day hopper with MaxPass and then upgraded I actually got a lot of value out of the trips we took before the closure. Still sad that the epic 5th birthday trip for my little guy got cancelled in May but overall I am happy with the refund amount that we received.

Did the refund just appear back on your credit card or was their a letter or email also? I requested my refund by phone on 6/15 for 2 APs that expired on 9/19. They were Deluxe with Maxpass.

Yes, they just put the money back on the card; no notification.

From the Flex Pass Superthread (HT: @ZCarroll ) -- first page has been updated with this information:

APs who requested and have received refunds were sent this email.

Dear Valued Annual Passholder, Thank you for your patience as we work through this unprecedented time. Your request for a refund in lieu of extension of your Annual Passport expiration date has been processed, and we will issue a refund based on the number of access days that would have been available to you from March 14, 2020, the date that the Disneyland® Resort Theme Parks were completely closed, through your current Passport expiration date. If you had any add-on entitlements attached to your Passport – such as parking – applicable refunds for these entitlements will be included in the refund amount. The refund has been processed by Disney but it can take approximately 7 to 10 business days to receive. This timeframe may vary from one financial institution to another. Please note that we will issue the refund to the original form of payment for the purchaser of the Passport. If you have any questions, please contact Annual Passholder Member Services at (714) 781-7277. We do anticipate a heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries. Thank you for being an important member of our Disneyland Resort Community. Disneyland Resort Annual Passport Team

On the earnings call just now they said they expect Disneyland to be closed until at least the end of the year. Not a shocker at this point I guess.

@theluckyrabbit - not sure if OK to post this here since it is a comment from TWDC.

THROUGH Q1!!! More than a YEAR?!

THROUGH Q1!!! More than a YEAR?!

Just a reminder that Disney's Q1 is Oct20-Dec20. I'm fairly sure that's what they're referring to here, but I could be wrong.

Just a reminder that Disney's Q1 is Oct20-Dec20. I'm fairly sure that's what they're referring to here, but I could be wrong.

I think that's correct. The quote in the article was "through the fiscal quarter" ending 12/31/2020.

This might explain why they wiped out all reservations through 12/31, instead of one week at a time.

TWDC is an official source of news, so this counts -- you're fine posting this here.
