Hi Kimberly,
It's a great year to be a Walt Disney World annual passholder, and I'm so glad you've decided to join the
Florida Resident passholder family! You certainly can go ahead and buy your passes online now. Your passholder year will not begin until you show your
proof of Florida residency at a Walt Disney World ticket window or Guest Relations location and you use your pass for the first time.
As I answer this, you are near the January 3 deadline to get
13 months instead of 12, so please hurry to take advantage of that fantastic benefit. As a continuing part of the Walt Disney World 45th anniversary celebration, you also will get some
special discounts and benefits this year, through September 30, 2017. That includes a 20 percent discount on 45 restaurants in the theme parks and resorts and a 20 percent merchandise discount at Walt Disney World store owned and operated by Disney.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kimberly. Please let us know if you have any other questions now or throughout your year as a passholder. We're here to help. Enjoy!
Wilma
