Hi Traci,
I'm so happy you are considering Walt Disney World annual passes for your family. We've been passholders for almost 20 years and have made so many amazing family memories at
Walt Disney World as our daughters have grown.
You are correct that the chief difference between the Gold Pass and the Silver Pass is the ability to download all of your
Disney PhotoPass images throughout the year. As far as I know, there is no other annual subscription to PhotoPass.
The price difference between a Gold Pass and a Silver Pass is about the same as the cost of
Memory Maker, which gives you 30 days worth of PhotoPass images. So, if all the PhotoPass images are appealing to you and you plan to visit throughout the year, the Gold Pass does seem to be your best value.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Traci, and welcome to the
Florida Resident Passholder family. Please let me know if you have any other questions about maximizing the passholder fun. Enjoy!
Wilma
