    When I buy an annual pass, I will need to verify my FL residence at the parks. But can I still make a reservation before it is verified?

    Welcome to planDisney! Robert, an annual pass is a wonderful way to make sure you can enjoy the parks all year round. Depending on the level of Annual Pass that you purchased depends on if you have visits for every day of the year, or just select days. The Incredi-Pass is the pass that I have had in the past being an out-of-state guest. If you have purchased a Florida Resident Pass you will need to verify your residence once you arrive at the park. You can also verify it at Disney Springs if you have some time to spare before your park visit. Great news is you will be able to make park reservations before you visit the parks to activate your pass. This is what you were hoping to hear I'm sure. So start planning!

    Being an annual passholder is a lot of pressure. You will have to make sure that you extend the magic all throughout the year. You’ll have to make sure that you eat your fair share Mickey shaped snacks. Some of the other great benefits of being an annual passholder are discounts on dining and merchandise. Sometimes there’s even discounts for stays inside of the magic. If you ever decide to visit during one of the special events there are usually discounts on the tickets for those events as well. One of the cool things I always pick up when I visit is the annual passholder magnet. There’s a new one around the corner and one was just announced today, that will be swimming in shortly. If you are visiting during one of the many festivals hosted by EPCOT there are food items that only an annual passholders can purchase. Sometimes it’s a drink, sometimes it’s a snack, but it is always amazing. 

    I hope this information is helpful while planning your first visit as an annual passholder. Have a magical day.
