    I would like to purchase an annual pass but we would like to use it for next year 2026. Is it possible to purchase it now or should I wait?

    Welcome to planDisney, Giselle! How exciting that you're thinking of joining the Annual Passholder family - this is a great way to secure an entire year of magical visits while also taking advantage of some Passholder exclusive discounts and perks! I made the plunge myself just a few weeks ago to purchase the Disney Incredi-Pass and I'll be activating my pass in just a few days! I can't wait to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth even more frequently now!

    Giselle, I think you'll be happy to hear that once you purchase an Annual Pass, you will have one year from the date of purchase to activate your pass via park entry, so if you'd like to purchase your pass now but activate it in 2026, you will be able to do so as long as it is within 12 months of the date of your purchase! In the event that you purchase a pass now and do not activate it within that time frame, you will still retain the value of the amount paid towards your pass to apply to another pass in the future.

    One of the things I'm most looking forward to as a Passholder is the Memory Maker downloads that I opted to include with my pass; you can read all about the Passholder program here to see the ins and outs of exclusive merchandise, discounts, and perks as you decide if it's the right fit for you and your family! Giselle, I hope this helps! I did notice your profile says you are a Florida resident, so be sure to compare the different passes available based on your residency as well as the monthly payment programs that are exclusively offered to Florida residents! 

    If you have any other questions about becoming a Passholder or planning your next visit, please feel free to come back to planDisney again and let us know! We're always here to help you make magical memories!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
