Hello, Danielle! Thanks for bringing your question to the Moms Panel! Being a resident of the Sunshine State entitles you to special offers and discounts including being able to purchase the coveted Disney Gold Annual Pass (which is only available to Florida Residents and Disney Vacation Club Members).
The good news is that since you have already purchased valid theme park tickets, you can upgrade these tickets to any
Annual Pass of your choosing (it does not have to be the Platinum Pass) and take advantage of the
Monthly Payment Program. The amount you paid for your Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket is the amount that will be applied to your Annual Pass purchase, and the balance will be divided into 12 equal installments that are billed automatically to your credit card on file. Upgrades from tickets to annual passes are not available online or via the phone at this time, so you'll need to visit any Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket window or Guest Relations location. If you have any questions, please call (407) WDW-PASS or (407) 939-7277.
Congratulations on becoming an
Annual Passholder, Danielle! Don't forget that since you'll be visiting in September, you'll be eligible for discounts on some special ticketed events such as
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Stop back and see us if we can help you again!
