Hey there, Marjory! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sharing your question with us.
I’m always happy to help a fellow Annual Passholder. I purchased my first Annual Pass this year and loved all the perks, discounts, and extras. I found this
list of the current passholder discounts (discounts and perks are subject to change) that allows you to filter by location really helpful in planning my last Disney vacation.
Annual Pass tickets may require theme park reservations, depending on the date and time of visit. Looking at the
Annual Passholder Admissions Calendar, it appears that you will need to make theme park reservations in April. The exception to this would be if you plan to visit the theme parks after 2:00 PM, then you don’t need an advanced reservation (except on Saturdays and Sundays at the Magic Kingdom). Remember, theme park reservation availability is limited, so it’s always a good idea to act quickly!
2026 is going to be a fun year at Walt Disney World, and springtime is going to be especially exciting. Not only will the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival be in full bloom, but Big Thunder Mountain and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin are both expected to reopen after their refurbishments. I’m especially interested in finding out if I can achieve the Galactic Hero Rank on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin with its new ride vehicles and blasters.
Marjory, I hope this info is helpful, and I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World this spring. Pop right back if you have more questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
