    Can I buy an annual pass now to start using Jan 2025?

    Hey there, Meredith, and welcome to planDisney.

    Have you ever loved something so much that you never wanted it to go away? That is how I feel about being a Walt Disney World Theme Park Passholder. This "little beauty" can be activated whenever you want by tapping into your first theme park. Passholders have one year, that is a whopping 365 days, to activate the pass before it expires. You have 365 days of magic, adventures, and of course, Mickey Mouse, to enjoy from the moment it is activated.

    If you reach the expiration date and have not activated the pass, you can apply the original unused annual pass cost toward a new annual pass. Amazing, right?

    Once activated, you will see the expiration date in the My Disney Experience app. To see your tickets and passes:

    • Open the app on your smart device
    • Tap the Feature Menu Icon (☰) on the lower right side of the screen
    • Tap "My Tickets & Passes"
    • Swipe until you see your pass.
    • The expiration will appear at the bottom of the pass.

    To give you an example for your dates:

    • Purchase on August 18, 2024, and have until August 17, 2026 to activate.
    • Tap in by January 15, 2025
    • Use until January 14, 2026
    I love the Walt Disney World Passholder benefits. Be sure to look at the Passholder discounts on food, merchandise, and Disney Resorts Collection hotels. The Resort hotel savings could pay for your pass in savings.

    Meredith, please feel free to reach out to me directly with any follow-up questions. I am happy to share ways to help create lifetime Disney vacation experiences. 

    Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
