I'm guessing the Bank but I wanted to make sure. Also, will they take a new picture? I looked like a bum last year and this time I want to be prepared.

Originally Posted By Moedad "Will they give us new cards at the gate? Also, can I buy the parking option there too?" Yes, you can do it all at the gate as long as they have your picture on file. The one on my card is 5 or 6 years old by now.

Originally Posted By Moedad When we renewed our deluxe passes in early June, I took our old passes to the ticket booth. I paid to upgrade them to Premium passes, they did it all right there and gave me my new passes right there. I went on into the park and never went to the Bank or anywhere else. I did the same thing last year (except for the upgrade on the passes). Unless they've changed things since the first of June of this year, if you already have an AP, you don't need to go anywhere except the ticket booth UNLESS you want a new picture taken.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Sounds like we should go to the booths either way to pay for them since they won't be expired yet. We'll go from there after that. Thanks!
Originally Posted By di-tard4life well duh yeah u still have to go to the booths to pay... so they keep ur photo on file?
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 They have your photo on file because when they scan your pass at the entrance, your photo picture pops up on their screen. Not sure I want to renew online as I'm paying half with a gift card and half with a credit card. We'll see.

The Plaza Pavilion near the Wait Board/entrance to Adventureland is the current AP Processing center. As for renewing, so long as your AP expires 30 days or less from today's date, you can renew at the Main Ticket Booths, the AP Processing Center, Guest Services near the Picnic area, on-line at Disneyland.com or by mail.
