I've found this thread really helpful as I tried to figure out what to do about AP extensions and cancellations last year and about recovery this year, so I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's posted.
Also, I called tonight about recovery and can report that when I called at about 10:50pm Eastern (I called the VIP Passholder number and said "Passholder Help Desk" at the prompt), I waited about 10 minutes on hold and spent about 15 minutes talking to the cast member. He said callbacks were currently taking 17-18 days. I asked about whether if I bought tickets, I could apply them to the price of the new AP, and he said it would be up to the person who called me back, so I think I'm just going to cross my fingers that I get a call back and new APs in time to get good park reservations for mid-August.
