Dear George,
Thanks so much for stopping by to see us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your planning question about your upcoming trips! I especially love answering questions from fellow New Jerseyans like yourself!
I am also an
Annual Passholder and I feel strongly that if you plan to make more than one trip (of a few days or more) within the 12 month period, it is an excellent purchase! If you purchase an Annual Pass this fall, as you mention, it will expire exactly one year from the first day that it is used. It is not activated when you purchase it, but must be activated the first day that you plan to visit one of the
Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. The clock starts ticking the first day that you use it to get into a theme park.
If I understand you correctly, you are also asking if you can use your Annual Pass to book Walt Disney World Resort hotel discounts and to add the
Disney Dining Plan? Yes, you can absolutely do that. I recommend calling 1(407)939-5277 and a friendly Cast Member can assist you to put together the pieces of your trip.
Moms Panel tip: One of the best features of the Platinum Annual Pass is the included
Memory Maker! You will absolutely love it!
