Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kayla!
What an amazing gift! My family and I love being
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders, and I’m sure your gift recipient will, too. Since
Annual Passes don’t go into effect until they’re activated at a
Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park ticket window or the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs, you may certainly
purchase one as a Christmas gift and have the recipient hold off on activating it until they visit in October.
Please keep in mind that the gift recipient will need to have the original order confirmation number in the email used to purchase the Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass online in order to activate it. With your purchase, you should also receive an Annual Pass number which your recipient may add to their
My Disney Experience account so they will be able to book
FastPass+ reservations in advance of their trip. They will still need to present ID and the email confirmation once they arrive at the Theme Parks in order to activate the Annual Pass and use it for Theme Park admission.
Let us know if there are any additional questions we can answer for you, Kayla! Have a Magical day.
Amy
