Hiya Tricia!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet. Wow, Tricia, what a magical school trip your son is going to have! I have the most wonderful memories from my own school trips, and I cannot wait for him to make incredible memories with his peers. I wish my school trips were as magical!
Since your son has a separate theme park ticket, there should be no issue when making
theme park reservations and entering the theme parks, even if both the ticket and his Annual Pass are linked on the same account. Indeed, when making theme park reservations, the person organizing the trip should be able to select the specific ticket that will be used instead of the Annual Pass. Then, your son can stop by the Ticketing Window or Guest Relations to pick up his ticket, or his school might pick them all up simultaneously.
If your son has an
iPhone, Apple Watch or Google Pay-enabled Android smartphone, he can also download his ticket into his digital wallet, making this process even more convenient! Indeed, your son can log into your account on the
My Disney Experience mobile app and click on "Disney MagicMobile" in the three-line menu. If you both have iPhones, you can even download the ticket into your own digital wallet and
send it to him via iMessage! This function can also be found in the My Disney Experience app under "Disney MagicMobile" by clicking "Select Passes to Share." Using this service, your son will be able to walk up to the gate and scan his ticket!
I hope this was helpful, Tricia, and that your son will have the best day ever on his school trip to the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other questions in the time leading up to his trip, please don't hesitate to reach back out. You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
