Welcome Home, Jenni!
Thank you for sending us your excellent question about
Walt Disney World Resort annual passes. I am so happy to answer a fellow Floridian’s question today! Your vacation is “right around the corner” and I completely understand why you are getting antsy. You’re going to Walt Disney World for the first time. That is incredibly exciting!
You have made a great choice by planning to purchase annual passes. As an annual passholder myself, I am sure you will love the
benefits that accompany being a Walt Disney World Resort annual passholder. Want to have lunch in Epcot and dinner at Magic Kingdom Park? You can do that! One of my favorite benefits of being a passholder is being to park hop around "the World" as many times as I want to.
To answer your question, your annual pass year begins the moment you activate your pass at any Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket window or
Disney Springs Guest Relations location. You can buy your passes now! They will not be activated until you choose to do so.
Mom’s Tip: Jenni, have you checked out the
“planning your first visit” guide? I encourage you to do so before you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. Don’t forget to pick up your complimentary “first visit” buttons as well! You can find them at any Disney Resort hotel or theme park.
Jenni, I hope I have answered your question. If you need any more help, please visit the Moms Panel again.
Wishing you a Pixie-Dusted First Visit,
Priscila
