Hello Adam, and welcome to planDisney!
I’m so excited that you are considering the purchase of a
Walt Disney World Annual Pass! My wife and I are Annual Pass holders, and we absolutely love the benefits and the freedom it gives us to plan leisurely days at the theme parks
I’m also excited to tell you that you can take advantage of the discount on Walt Disney World Resort hotels before you activate your pass! The other discounts that you will receive at dining locations and merchandise cannot be used until your pass is activated.
Here is a good place to see the
Annual Pass Terms and Conditions. You can also call the
Annual Passholders phone line to talk to a friendly Cast Member if you have any additional questions or concerns.
When you do arrive for your magical adventure and you are ready to activate your Annual Pass, you can do that at any of the Walt Disney World theme parks, or you can stop by the Ticket Center at Disney Springs.
I used my Annual Pass discount this past week at participating dining locations and purchased souvenirs to take home for my grandkids! It sure adds up and leaves me a few extra dollars to enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
One other benefit that will be taking place this summer for Annual Passholders is the
V.I. Passholder Summer Days! There will be dining discounts, exclusive passholder merchandise, and even a special passholder popcorn bucket!
Adam, we love our Annual Passes, and you will love how much freedom it gives you to enjoy the parks! Have a magical adventure!
Kurt
