Hi Carol,
Welcome to planDisney!
It's always a happy day to welcome another guest to the Annual Passholder family! I just renewed my annual pass because it is such a good value given the number of times I plan to visit over the next year and the
discounts we get on select dining, merchandise, and experiences. I double-checked the process online. You should be able to pay with a credit card and a Disney gift card. Just go to the
Annual Passholder options page. Select the pass you intend to purchase. Once you get to the payment screen, scroll down past the credit card payment area and you should see a plus sign to add a Disney Gift card.
With my annual pass, I use the discount on dining the most. We always take some time to identify the dining locations we plan to visit during each trip. We check the prices, consider the AP discount, and then estimate the cost for our meals for the entire trip. We also use the discount on at least one new experience each trip. Once you get that annual pass, check out the
Enchanting Extras Collection to see if there are experiences you might enjoy. And, check the Special Offers to see if there are any
special offers for annual passholders on rooms. If you can use that annual pass to get a discounted room, take advantage of that rate!
Carol, if you have any trouble making that purchase online,
call to speak with a cast member. Having an annual pass has been such a fabulous experience, especially when there are annual passholder preview days for new attractions. I was so excited to experience Tiana's Bayou Adventure in June. In the spirit of Tiana,
Never ever lose sight of what's really important. Get that annual pass and plan your visits. The memories will be priceless!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
