Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Diane!
Being an Annual Passholder has some amazing benefits - the discounts available on Resort hotels, merchandise, food, and special event tickets are just dreamy. Diane, did you know the 20% discount on merchandise and select dining locations available in honor of Walt Disney World® Resort's 45th anniversary has been extended into 2018?! Score! However, the
Extra Magic Hour benefit is exclusive to being a guest of a Walt Disney World® Resort hotel, even for Annual Passholders.
Many Resort hotels offer
room-only discounts for Passholders that could save you up to %30 off on your stay! Select the highlighted link to see what is currently available. You may just find that perfect "castle" for your vacation. You would then be able to take advantage of Extra Magic Hours AND all the wondEARful discounts you receive as an "AP!"
I hope this information is helpful in your planning, Diane! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any additional questions. As an Annual Passholder myself, I am here to help you understand and maximize your benefits.
