if they don't bring back the AP, i don't know what we're going to do. And i mean, any AP, though preferably the gold.
We're scheduled for 24 days in july/august 2021.
There's no way to visit WDW for 24 days without an AP.
it they don't bring it back, we'll have to cancel. No alternative.

Same, we visit from the UK and tend to make two 14 day trips each year - without APs we're in trouble to be honest.
normally we buy the UK 21 day ultimate, but that's not available either right now and it's not clear whether they'll bring that one back...

I've heard nothing. I am now sitting on my 3rd rescheduled trip in December with another in April. If there are no APs by mid-November I'm cancelling. There is no way I'll but two sets of tickets over 4 months.

I thought that I read that someone else tried that and they were shut down. I'll try to remember who that was but they were not particularly happy. I don't want to risk thousands of dollars on the whim of the GS CM that day. I'd rather just cancel and wait until April.Someone mentioned that they went to GS about wanting to upgrade tickets while one the trip and they made a note so that these tickets could be used once they did.

What I find very strange is that they are still offering AP discounts but no APs! I can wait, though.
Hopefully if a possibility they don't make the activation date the first day you used your oldest ticket value you want applied.I had two different experiences with asking to apply the cost of my tickets to a future AP upgrade.
I bought 4-day Florida resident tickets for my daughter and myself. The first day we used them we went to get them activated, and I asked the CM if he knew when APs would be going on sale because we would have preferred to have purchased those rather than day tickets. He said they didn't know yet, then said he would put a note in our file (I don't remember if he used the word "file" or maybe "account" or whatever but it was something like that) that would allow us to apply the cost of our tickets toward APs when they become available for purchase. He acted like it was no big deal.
Then my husband and son decided to come with us on a later visit so I bought them tickets. When I went to activate them I asked about putting a note in our file regarding these tickets as well. She didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. I explained what the previous CM had supposedly done for us, starting to wonder if he had actually put anything in our file. She ended up calling another CM over who looked at the monitor for a minute and clicked a few things and finally said that yes we did have a note attached to our account but acted like this was a tremendous amount of pixie dust and couldn't tell me if the "note" would cover these new tickets I had purchased too.
I guess I'll see what happens when APs go on sale and I try to buy them. I'm planing on going in person to buy them in case that helps. I'll take whatever I can get.
The funny thing is I really want to go again which would mean buying another set of tickets. I could just see me going again and again and then trying to apply the cost of all the tickets I've bought when APs finally go on sale-- and trying to get my APs basically for free!

That is a given as upgrades has always been from date of ticket use.Hopefully if a possibility they don't make the activation date the first day you used your oldest ticket value you want applied.

What would make sense for them to do depends on how long it is until they start selling APs. If it's next month, it would still make sense financially, since I first used the tickets in July. But if it's not for another six months or so I would have missed out on way too much time that I could have been using the APs if I had been able to buy them. I'd rather pay full price and have an entire year to use them than get my ticket cost deducted but only have a few months left.
