Greetings, Marcie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’m a first time
Annual Passholder this year, and man… I should have done this years ago! From my unlimited park hopping ability to my
benefits and special discounts, my pass is like solid gold to me! I’ve visited several times this year, with my friends that have Annual Passes and with my family that doesn’t, as well.
When I made plans to visit with my Mom and Kids, who are not Passholders, I booked a room and individual park hopper tickets for them, and had my own AP. If you are booking something like a
Magic Your Way package, you can do this by electing a “Ticketless Package” and simply booking your other guest's tickets on the side. Or, you can book everything (room, optional dining, guest's tickets) separately and easily link up all the confirmation numbers (if they don't automatically link) using your
My Disney Experience account. If you are a little confused, that’s ok! You can contact a Disney authorized Travel agent like my favorites at Travelmation, or call (407) 939-5277 to speak with a Cast Member and get everything booked. I would recommend browsing the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels so you know just which Resort fits your budget and style. Personally, I adore the Art of Animation’s themed styling and the serene nature of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. In fact, I could find something nice to say about EVERY resort on property!
If I can help you any further to plan your vacation, I would adore your returning to ask me more questions. Have a magical planning session! ~ Lindsey P.
