Hi Jon! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I just recently became an
Annual Passholder myself and I absolutely love it! It's so nice to be able to visit my favorite place, the Walt Disney World Resort, more often than ever, and having access to my
Disney PhotoPass downloads with my Annual Pass is just an added perk!
You have to activate your
Annual Pass at any of the theme park ticket windows or Guest Relations in Disney Springs in order to customize your complimentary
MagicBand and have it sent to you. If you like, you can purchase a MagicBand ahead of time online at
Shop Disney Parks, or purchase one once you arrive for your vacation. If you have traveled to the Walt Disney World Resort recently and you have a previously used MagicBand linked to your account and it is still active, you can use that one as well. Of course, you can also use your Annual Pass card that you will receive when you activate your pass instead of a MagicBand if you want to wait to receive your complimentary MagicBand. You definitely have some options!
Congrats on becoming an Annual Passholder, Jon! Please visit us again with any other questions you may have!
