Sorcerer Pass

[Drr10]

Why couldn't I renew my Sorcerer Pass online? I had to call member services. I was able to do it last year.

Did you go on the Disney website? I was on earlier trying to find renewal cost and the option was there. I couldn't do it because I don't actually have a renewal due right now. I think there are also time constraints but didn't pay attention to tell you what they were.

My Sorcerer Pass is up for renewal and I am unable to renew online. It only provides me the option for the Incredi-Pass.

This message is shown: To renew a DVC Pass, call (407) 566-3800† — Option 1 or visit Guest Relations at a theme park.

I believe only Florida Residents can renew Sorcerer online. I think DVC has to verify membership eligibility.

I've never been able to renew our Sorcerer's passes online...always a phone call required.

I went on my Experience and the option to renew was there, however the only choice was the Incredipass even though it showed I had the Sorcerer Pass. I believe it stated DVC members had to call member services. The person at member service couldn't give me an answer on why I had to call.

Members have never been able to renew a Sorcerer Pass online, but need to contact MS to do so. That was also true for the discounted annual pass that existed before the Sorcerer Pass. I have heard Florida members can do so but that is because they do not need to be DVC members to purchase that pass.

We have always had to call MS to renew our Sorcerer's passes.

Verification is required because anyone can sell and no longer be a member with benefits during that year. That is the explanation I was given years ago when I asked why I needed to call in to renew and couldn’t do it online.

Which really makes no sense. If they verify online for the initial purchase why couldn't the same verification be used for the renewal? I have no doubt that is what they said, but it really makes zero sense.....

Verify for the initial but then you sell your contract a month later and no longer qualify for the discounted pass. If they let you renew online you could renew without being a member. Unless they change how they verify. It’s similar to receiving a dvc discount for merchandise. Used to have to show blue card. Then show in app. Now it has to be shown in the mobile wallet that shows yes. You would think the two systems could talk to each other so online could verify and free up taking MS time.

Does the why really matter?

Nope, still doesn't make sense. Check a database online to see if I am DVC-Y at initial purchase. Check same database online at the time of renewal to see if I am still DVC-Y. If I sell in the year between purchase and renewal I am no longer DVC-Y and that should be reflected in the database.

It intrigues me (but doesn't really matter) because I don't understand a system that can check at initial purchase but not at renewal.

Totally agree

Makes sense but the two systems don’t talk to each other I guess.

When I bought new last year, I had to stop by Guest Relations to verify before entering park the first time.

If I remember correctly, and it's been a few years, we had to go through DVC at initial purchase as well. As an owner for nearly two decades now, nothing has changed to my knowledge...it's always been done through DVC Member Services.

You used to have to, you don't any more (for the initial purchase).

I think this is the difference:

A new pass isn't active, and has to be activated. GR can check status at the time of activation. A renewal pass is active, and so someone needs to verify it.
