Welcome to planDisney, Annie!
I’m so excited that you will have the opportunity to be a part of the
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass family! As an Annual Passholder, I love the
Passholder exclusives, perks and discounts that help to make my
Walt Disney World Resort experiences even more magical.
Annie, I have great news for you! Guests with wholly unused standalone
Theme Park Tickets may upgrade to an Annual Pass. So, as long as you have not begun using the ticket you already have, you may apply the purchase price of that ticket to upgrade to an Annual Pass. This can be done in person or over the phone only by contacting
Walt Disney World Resort Ticketing at 407-934-7639 (407-W-DISNEY), available daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Eastern Time.
Be sure to link your new Annual Pass to your
My Disney Experience account so that special Annual Passholder perks will auto-magically appear when you are searching for special event tickets or Enchanting Extras, for example. I also encourage you to check the Passholder Program page and the
Disney Parks Blog regularly, as that is where all the
new perks, discounts, or special experiences are announced first.
Annie, there are all sorts of magical things to do as an Annual Passholder, so
please write back and I would be happy to share some tips or answer other questions you may have!
Wishing you a happily ever after with your new Annual Pass,
Shannon
