Hi Brian, and welcome to planDisney! I love the freedom and flexibility that comes with having a Disney World annual pass. Even if that means just popping into Magic Kingdom to make customized popcorn at
Main Street Confectionery or stopping by EPCOT for a baguette from
Les Halles. So let’s chat about where to secure your year of magic!
While you can’t purchase a Disney World annual pass at the resort hotels, the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts are just a short walk from EPCOT’s International Gateway Entrance. Here you’ll find ticket windows where you can buy your annual pass. If you’re looking to purchase a pass for Florida residents, review the
proof of residence requirements so you bring the right identification or paperwork.
I also wanted to point out the
Passholder, Offers, Perks, & More page, so you don’t miss any of the amazing perks you’ll get with your annual pass! I really appreciate all of the discounts at restaurants and stores throughout the theme parks, Disney Springs, and resort hotels. And speaking of the resort hotels, a new special offer was just released where Passholders can save up to 40% on Disney resort hotel stays this summer. And even sweeter, Disney resort hotel guests can also enjoy
complimentary water park admission on check-in day from May 26 to September 8, 2026. I’m so tempted to book a trip this summer!
Another place where you can stay up to date on the latest news is the Passholder Buzz section of the
My Disney Experience app (this section may not appear until after you become an active Passholder). On the home screen, scroll down to Discover The Passholder Buzz! and press the Learn More button. Here you’ll find tips for making the most of your annual pass, information on current perks, and other Disney news.
I hope you have the best day ever at Disney World this weekend! And if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to visit us again at planDisney.
