Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Colleen! Thank you for bringing us your question.
Having a Walt Disney World Annual Pass is the best way to enjoy even more of all that WDW has to offer, and do it often! As a fellow AP holder, I love being able to explore the parks at leisure and learn something new everytime I visit. I love chatting with the Cast Members and getting cool insights and tidbits of the history of the parks and attractions. Another awesome perk of being an Annual Passholder is the wonderful special offers and discounts AP’s receive. Currently, to help commemorate the 45th anniversary of the opening of the Walt Disney World Resort, you can enjoy
20% off select merchandise and restaurants. You’re going to love having an AP!
Colleen, when you purchase your Gold
Annual Pass, if you choose the monthly payment plan, you will pay the initial payment then set up an account for automatic monthly withdraws that will be the same amount until your AP is paid in full. Currently, you cannot make payments at Guest Services or ticket centers, but you can log in to your account and make additional payments towards your AP online. You will still continue to have monthly payments of the same amount that your financing agreement states, but once the pass is paid in full, those will stop.
If you have any additional questions regarding a monthly payment plan for your Annual Pass, you can call the Disney World Annual Pass line at (888)701-4100 and select option #3. This call center is open Monday-Friday from 8am-8pmEST.
I hope you enjoy visiting the happiest place on earth often! Please do come back and see us real soon!
