Hello Kammi,
Thank you so much for reaching out to planDisney! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re planning a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort. As an Annual Passholder myself, I can genuinely say that having the pass is an incredible way to experience all the magic throughout the year, and I absolutely enjoy all the perks it offers.
Regarding your question about upgrading a "Package Ticket" to an
Annual Pass while you’re on your trip, you can indeed make that change. Typically, you would need to visit a
Guest Relations location at any of the theme parks or
Disney Springs to handle this process. The cost of your upgrade will be determined by the difference between the value of your current package ticket and the price of the Annual Pass. Since your hotel is part of the package, the cost of the upgrade will be based on the value of the theme park tickets included in your package, rather than the hotel portion.
A useful tip for your visit is that by upgrading to an Annual Pass while you’re at Walt Disney World Resort, you can start enjoying exclusive benefits right away, including merchandise discounts. Annual Passholders often receive
special discounts on a wide range of Disney merchandise, so it’s a great opportunity to pick up some souvenirs or gifts at a reduced price during your trip.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. I hope you have a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort and enjoy all the wonderful experiences that come with being an Annual Passholder!
Best wishes,
~Yael
