Hi Kathleen,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so excited you're planning to join the Annual Passholder family. I've been an Annual Passholder for several years. It was definitely a wise purchase for me.
Since you already have a Theme Park Ticket, you have a couple of ways to
Upgrade to an Annual Pass. You can actually upgrade your ticket to an
Annual Pass on the My Disney Experience app. Once you open the app, go to "Tickets and Passes." You should have to option to Upgrade. My fellow Moms Panelist,
Robyn, detailed the steps to upgrade in this answer. If you have any issues, you can also upgrade your ticket to an Annual Pass at any Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket window or any Guest Relations location.
Kathleen, be sure to check out the
Passholder Program for the latest information about the benefits of being an Annual Passholder. I am always surprised by the number of
discounts and limited-time offers available to Passholders. Taking advantage of all of these benefits has saved me a significant amount of money over the years. I hope you have the same experience!
Thank you for visiting us with your question. I hope you will let us know if we can help you further with Annual Passes or with any other planning questions you may have.
Wishing you many magical visits,
Amy H.
