    Hi, I am looking to purchase the gold annual pass for Disneyland Paris via the French website. Is there a timeframe that I must activate the pass? When does the 12 months start from?

    Hi there, Jade, and a warm bienvenue to you from us at planDisney!

    A year of Parisian pixie dust sounds practically perfect, so I think purchasing a Disneyland Pass is a great idea! A Gold Pass will give you unlimited access to both Disneyland Paris theme parks (pending capacity), and with the unveiling of Disney Adventure World awaiting us in 2026, you'll be so glad you chose this year to become a Disneyland Passholder! 

    Since you're hoping to purchase your Disneyland Pass online, and that capability is only available when using the French, Belgian, and Dutch versions of the Disneyland Paris website, I reached out to a Disneyland Paris Cast Member for clarification on the policy in question. He helpfully shared that Disneyland Passes purchased online become valid from the date of purchase, so your 12 months of magic will begin immediately! Because of this, there's no set timeframe in which you must make your first visit, but if you opt to pay in monthly installments, you'll have 7 days to send the required documentation via post. 

    With this information in mind, if you decide you'd rather wait to make your purchase until you're in the middle of the magic, Hakuna Matata! You'll find a Disneyland Pass ticket office conveniently located right at the entrance to Disneyland Park, and don't forget that as a Disneyland Passholder, you'll be eligible for discounts on select meals and merchandise purchases during each visit. In my experience, being a Passholder actually saves my family money, and that's the kind of magical math I love!

    I hope this clears things up for you, Jade, and that your 2026 is filled with magic! If you'd like any additional assistance in making the most of your Disneyland Pass, don't hesitate to stop back by planDisney. You've got a friend in me!
