Hiya Miranda,
Welcome back to planDisney and the
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder family! There is a reason the queue on the website was so long yesterday; being an Annual Passholder is incredible! Every time I visit Walt Disney World Resort, I spend a lot of money on dining and merchandise, so the discounts on both are always my favorite perk. It saves me so much money (at least that is what I tell my Prince Charming)!
First off, great question! As you know,
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Packages include both Theme Park tickets and a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel. It is ideal for Guests who want to have the vacation of their dreams and pay off their balance over time. As a new Annual Passholder, you no longer need the Theme Park tickets, so I understand the need to alter the vacation package. Great news, Miranda, you may be able to modify your package reservation to a room-only reservation (subject to modification policies)! You just need to contact a Cast Member in
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations. They would be able to help you make this change if possible. Now I do want to let you know, Miranda, that once you make this change, you will no longer be able to take advantage of the
perks of having a Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package (including the payment plan option). Your final balance will now be due at check-in.
I hope this was helpful, Miranda! Please come back and see us if you need anything else. Your visit will fall during either
EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival or
EPCOT's International Festival of the Holidays. Both are my favorite festivals for different reasons. No matter which one you are able to attend, I'm sure you will love it!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
