Hello there, Michele!
Welcome to planDisney and congratulations on your decision to become an
Annual Passholder. I’m so excited for you! We are not Florida Residents, but my husband and I have been talking about become Passholders because the drive for us isn’t too bad and I’m constantly asking for a trip to Walt Disney World. It’s my go-to vacation!
Disney Gift Cards are a great way to pay for almost everything at Walt Disney World. They can be used towards food, merchandise, resort stays, and even Annual Passes. You can certainly use your Disney Gift Cards towards the down payment, but to complete this purchase, you’ll have to do it over the phone. What you’ll want to do is call the
V.I. Passholder support line to complete that purchase and set up your payment plans.
I also recommend taking a look at the
add-on options you have as a Passholder. I recommend adding the Disney PhotoPass Downloads option. This option will give you a whole year of unlimited downloads of your vacation photos taken by PhotoPass photographers. These downloads also include attraction photos, so that’s a win too. If you’re already planning for a year of fun, you might as well include a year of photos so that you can remember all the fun memories you made over the year.
Michele, I hope this has helped answer your question. Please
visit us again if you have any additional vacation planning questions. Congratulations again and heres to a year full of memories!
Enjoy,
Shantel
