Happy New Year, Kelsey! I can't think of a more exciting way to welcome 2025 than becoming a
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder!
Kelsey, you will be happy to learn that Annual Passes are activated upon first use, not when you purchase them or make your park reservation. Your 365 days will begin the very first time you scan into the park! Yay!!
Please remember that you'll need to pick up your Annual Pass at any of the Guest Relations located outside of the theme parks, or the
Ticket Center at Disney Springs. Each Passholder must be present along with a photo ID to receive their pass.
Now that I've answered your question, let's chat about some of my favorite Passholder benefits! Disney World Annual Passholders can enjoy
discounts on dining, merchandise, and entertainment at select locations. You will also receive
complimentary standard parking at the theme parks.
You'll want to make sure to keep an eye out for any Passholder
Limited-Time Offerings that might be available. This might include exclusive Passholder merchandise, specially priced event tickets, Disney Resort hotel room offers, and more!
Thanks for hopping by planDisney, Kelsey! And if you have any more questions, please come back and see us real soon!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
