Hello Edward!
I love having an Annual Pass to Walt Disney World and there are a ton of benefits to having an Annual Pass for Walt Disney World! If you make two or more trips to Walt Disney World consisting four to five days in the theme parks in a calendar year, then an Annual Pass really makes economical sense. There are also many other benefits that having an
Platinum Annual Pass offers which include:
1. Admission for a year to all 4 theme parks (with no blockout dates)
2. You can visit all 4 theme parks on the same day (Park Hopping privileges)
3. Includes Disney PhotoPass downloads (similar to Memory Maker where you can download digital copies of all of your PhotoPass photos taken when you are at Walt Disney World)
4. Up to 20% off on select dining and merchandise in Walt Disney World
5. Free theme park parking
6. A free MagicBand in one of nine solid colors for being a Passholder
7. Room only discounts on Walt Disney World Resorts stays
8. Special offers and special promotions throughout out the year
9. A Passholder newsletter called the Mickey Monitor
So you can see that there are a lot of benefits to being a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder!
Keep Dreaming Big!
