    Hi, When purchasing an annual pass, can Disney gift cards be used toward the down payment with an additional master/Visa card on file for monthly payments? Does the preliminary package of annual passes ($200 per person down + $22/mo pp) allow weekends?

    Hi there, Elizabeth!

    From one Floridian to another, welcome to planDisney. There’s nothing cooler than the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder life. Being able to tap into the magic at a moment’s notice throughout the year is quite magical. Let’s get into how you can get your journey started.

    When it comes to the awesome (and super convenient) annual pass Monthly Payment Plan for Florida residents, the monthly payments are automatically deducted with a set debit or credit card. By the way, this method of payment can be changed (in case you lose your cards as often as I do—eek!). But can you use a Disney Gift Card as a down payment? I have good news for you!

    You can indeed use a Disney Gift Card as your down payment method of payment for your annual pass purchase. You’ll need to talk to a friendly Cast Member using the V.I.PASSHOLDER hotline or in-person at Guest Relations (at a theme park or at Disney Springs’ Disney Ticket Center) in order to make this happen.

    Based on the information that you’ve provided, I believe that the annual pass that you’d like to purchase is the Disney Pixie Dust Pass. With this pass, weekends and most holidays are blocked out, along with some weekdays. If you’d like a full look at which dates are blocked out with this pass, here is the blockout calendar.  

    Once you’ve gotten your hands on an annual pass, definitely check out the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. There are so many varieties of flavors to savor throughout the World Showcase and beyond. I’ve already visited once and I haven’t even tried half of all of the items on my wishlist. If you have any additional Disney vacation planning questions, revisit us here at planDisney. I’m all ears! 

    Magic always,
