    I bought an annual pass in June of 2019 and have never activated it. I have a stay planned for May 16-20 and would like to start using my annual pass. What is the process to activate it?

    Hiya, Jenna! Welcome to planDisney, and welcome to the club! Being a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder is so magical! 

    How exciting that you will be at The Most Magical Place on Earth next month! You are so lucky to have an annual pass because sales are paused for out-of-state guests at this time. When you arrive at the theme park on the first day, you will need to visit Guest Services at the front entrance of the theme park. They will activate the annual pass for you and you will receive a card that serves as your annual pass. You will present this along with your photo ID when you are making merchandise purchases or dining at select table service locations. Your annual pass will be active from the first day of use and will expire 365 days later. 

    You should also be able to see your annual pass under "Tickets and Passes" when using the My Disney Experience app. If you make a purchase using the My Disney Experience app and your annual pass discount is eligible, it will be applied. My favorite way to use my annual pass discount is on merchandise and there's a great time-saving feature for this when you use the app! At select stores around the Walt Disney World Resort, you can shop, scan, pay, and go! When you open the My Disney Experience app, tap the plus sign at the bottom and select "Shop in Store." Next, you will see a list of participating stores. Select the store and start scanning the items you wish to purchase. When you are ready to check out, enter your payment method and your annual pass discount will be applied. After your checkout is complete, you will receive a code to show the cast member at the store exit. Once at the exit, you can bag the items and be on your way to enjoying more time in the theme parks!

    As you are planning, be sure to check out The World's Most Magical Celebration happening now! There are so many fun things to see and do. If you have any additional questions before your arrival, please visit us again at planDisney. We're always happy to help! 

    Smiles,
