Hello Mary!
Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you’ve popped in with this question. With sales of
Walt Disney World Annual Passes finally resuming, I think many other Guests are wondering this same thing!
Most standard Walt Disney World Theme Park Tickets can be upgraded to Annual Passes as long as they still have unused days on them. Guests can always upgrade in person, and some ticket types can upgrade over the phone, or on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. However, if you would be looking to upgrade and use the payment plan that is available for Florida residents, this must be done in person at a ticket window outside a theme park or in Disney Springs.
If you aren’t looking for the monthly payment option, I would begin by checking your tickets on the My Disney Experience Mobile App to see if the type of upgrade you are wanting is available there. Make sure you are looking on the Mobile App and not on the desktop version of My Disney Experience. If you don’t see it,
I would call and have a Cast Member look specifically at what type of tickets you currently have and what type of Annual Pass you are wanting to purchase. They can then tell you if you need to upgrade in person, or if they can assist you with that upgrade over the phone.
I hope this helps with your planning, Mary, and I wish you a year of magical enjoyment with your Walt Disney World Annual Pass!
