Hey there, hi there, Jeffrey! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney.
I am so happy to hear that the magic of Walt Disney World Resort is calling, and you are answering the call by becoming an Annual Passholder! The magic called me, too, and I have loved every magical moment. The biggest perk of being in the Passholder family is being able to return to the magic time and time again, but let's chat discounts, shall we?
Since the
Disney Dining Plan already offers great value and savings, no additional discount is currently being offered for
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders. But Hakuna Matata! It means "no worries." Passholders do get incredible discounts on dining, merchandise and more, and more perks are always being added. I recommend keeping a close eye on the
Passholder Experiences, Perks and Discounts page on the Walt Disney World website for the latest and greatest Passholder perks.
The great news? As long as you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you will be able to add the Disney Dining Plan to your vacation as a Passholder! Since my family and I have always been Annual Passholders, sometimes we would add the Dining Plan, and sometimes, we wouldn't. We found that with such great Passholder discounts on dining, if we planned it right, we could actually save a ton of money by skipping the Dining Plan and sticking with our discount. However, on some trips, when we knew we wanted to enjoy all the character meals and eat all the snacks without having to think about budgeting, we would add the Dining Plan for more magic with less worry.
Whatever you decide about the Dining Plan, you're in for a year of fun, magical memories and fantastic discounts. Enjoy! And let me be the first to welcome you to the Passholder family! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have.
You've got a friend in me,
Mandy
