just to note:
I purchased a brand new Gold Season Pass during the sale, and added on Dining Pass, and drink pkg.
at the recommendation of someone *who would know* I did NOT renew my current pass, but instead bought new passes, and we will activate those later this year.
was informed that was "the safest way to do it" to ensure that any renewal didn't override my current pass and wipe out our current dining plan (which is with all park add on).
so yeah, different situation as we have passes, not memberships. but the solution might be to just buy a new membership? or keep the current membership, and buy a new pass?, and then in 2026, cancel current membership?
