Welcome to planDisney, Kelly!
I absolutely love being a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder—I Iike to call us members of the Mickey Mouse Club! I, too, use the Monthly Payment Program to pay for my family’s annual passes because the flexibility is super helpful. So, I’m just the Sunshine State gal to answer your question. Let’s get into it!
The
Water Park and Sports Option (and
Disney PhotoPass Downloads) can be added to your annual pass at any time of the year—even in the last few months of your annual pass. However, your chosen add-on will have the same expiration date as your annual pass (versus lasting one year from the date that you purchased the add-on). This means that the earlier you buy it, the longer you get to splash away in the sun!
AN EXTRA GEM: Even when you’re blocked out of the theme parks with the Disney Pixie Dust Pass, you can still visit the water park and other locations included with the add-on (like miniature golf). It kind of feels like you have unlimited access to all-things-Disney.
To add the Water Park and Sports Option to your annual pass, you’ll want to call the
V.I.PASSHOLDER hotline. You will have to pay it in full at the time of purchase though. However, you can continue to pay for your annual pass in monthly installments.
Kelly,
give us a holler here at planDisney if you want to know how to maximize your annual pass. I could go on and on about how much there is to do at The Most Magical Place on Earth, like this spring’s (literally) cool Annual Passholder Lounge at EPCOT. See you real soon!
Magic always,
LeAndra
