Hiya, Bair!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your exciting
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney!
Oh boy... it looks like you'll be arriving at The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a couple of short months. As a fellow
Annual Passholder, I'm excited to help you prepare for a year filled with magic
and an unforgettable upcoming stay at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Blair, I understand that you've purchased Annual Passes but have not had the opportunity to activate them quite yet. It sounds like you've booked your
Disney Resort hotel reservation using a great
special offer available to Annual Passholders -
yippee! As long as a Guest's Annual Pass is correctly linked to their
My Disney Experience account, they should be able to view and book special offers exclusive to Annual Passholders on the Walt Disney World Resort website, regardless of the pass's activation status. (Since you've already applied this special offer to your upcoming Resort hotel reservation, we can assume you've appropriately linked your Annual Pass!)
As soon as you arrive on-site (and before you check in at your Disney Resort hotel), be sure to stop by a theme park ticket booth, Guest Relations at
Disney Springs, or the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs to pick up your Annual Passholder physical card when you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort. Then, you'll want to head to the theme park for which you have a
theme park reservation and "tap in" at the turnstiles to activate your new Annual Pass! Your year as an Annual Passholder will auto-
magically begin as soon as your pass is used to enter a Walt Disney World Resort theme park. Once your pass is activated, you'll be able to take advantage of the special offer rate at the time of resort check-in.
Blair, I sure hope you've found this information helpful! I wish you a year filled with wonder and enchantment as a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder. If you have any additional planning questions, please hurry back to
planDisney anytime. We're all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
