Hiya Sherry,
Welcome to planDisney! I was so excited reading your question! Purchasing an Annual Pass and an upcoming vacation during
Cool KID’S SUMMER, it can’t get any better!
One of my favorite parts of being an Annual Passholder, besides getting to visit more frequently, has to be the discounts. We use our Passholder discounts on every trip and love saving on dining, merchandise, resort hotel stays, and more! It sounds like you have already spoken with a Cast Member, and they advised you to speak with someone on the
VIP Passholder line. I think that’s a great idea, Sherry! Since you are within 30 days of your visit and haven’t yet purchased the Annual Pass, the next right thing is to reach out to a Cast Member by phone. They can help you purchase your Annual Pass and then check whether you can apply your passholder discount to your current resort hotel reservation. There are no guarantees they can apply it to your reservation, but they can confirm availability.
I hope this was helpful, Sherry, and more importantly, that you are able to apply your passholder discount to your upcoming trip. Even if you are not able to, there are so many Passholder
exclusives this summer that you will be able to take advantage of. From exclusive character greetings, increased discounts at select dining locations, the Passholder Lounge, and the V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days Joffrey’s Coffee Challenge (plus so much more), this summer is such a great time to be a Passholder! You can check out everything available to you in the
My Disney Experience mobile app, in the Passholder Buzz section, and feel free to come back and see us if you need anything else. We are always here to help.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
