    I am a non-Florida resident who recently renewed my annual pass online. Since I have not been back to the park since then, what is the next step? Do I just enter the park using my magic band or do I need to go to the ticket booth first?

    Dear Doris,

    Thank you so much for stopping by to visit us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your excellent question about planning ahead for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation!

    I am also an Annual Passholder and I recently renewed mine as well. Yes, you must go to a ticket booth or a Guest Relations ticket window and they will be happy to assist you with your activation! Once your Annual Pass is activated, you will be able to use it to enter the parks. I recommend giving yourself a bit of extra time just in case it takes a few minutes to get activated.

    Hope that helps with your magical planning!
