Hi there, Lauren, and welcome to planDisney!
November is one of my favorite months to visit Walt Disney World Resort--so, it will be a fantastic time to kick off your year of
Annual Passholder adventures. From the
runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend to the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival to the start of holiday events like
Disney Jollywood Nights, there's a lot to explore!
I have great news for you, Lauren: The annual passes that you purchase for your family will not officially activate until the first day you use them at one of the four theme parks. Feel free to purchase them now, but the 365-day countdown to expiration won't begin quite yet.
I can't imagine my family of four not having our annual passes. With them, we get free theme park standard parking, discounts on select food and merchandise around property, and other seasonal perks. For example, earlier this year, when
Tiana's Bayou Adventure opened, we were able to secure an opportunity to experience the attraction early.
Lauren, I am so excited for your family to tap into the magic soon! Until then, if you have any additional questions,
give us a holler here at planDisney. Any of the panelists will be more than happy to help.
Magic always,
LeAndra
