Hi there, Emilia!
From one Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder to another, welcome back to planDisney. Capturing those moments with your daughter is so important, so adding
Disney PhotoPass Service to your annual pass before you step into the magic sounds like a good plan to me! My photos of squeezing my boys tightly in front of Cinderella Castle, the Tree of Life, Spaceship Earth, and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre are truly treasured in my home. And let me tell you, Emilia, I’ve got some pretty cool news for you ahead.
You can absolutely purchase the PhotoPass digital downloads add-on to your Disney Sorcerer
Annual Pass (or any annual pass type) any time throughout the year. However, no matter when you add it, you will pay the full price, which is currently $99. Next year, when you renew, you’ll want to add this on as soon as you purchase to really maximize its use. You can add it by calling the
Annual Passholder phone number and speaking to a Cast Member.
Also, keep in mind that only one person in the party needs the Disney PhotoPass Service add-on, especially if you intend on sticking together for the entire trip. Take advantage of your new add-on by asking PhotoPass photographers (usually dressed in green) to take photos for you and by downloading on-ride photos (be sure to wear your
MagicBand+ on rides like
TRON Lightcycle / Run to capture those swift moments).
AN EXTRA GEM: There’s another option to consider as well. Guests who purchase
Disney Genie+ receive free digital downloads of their on-ride photos on the day of the purchase. So, if it’s only those thrilling attraction photos that you want, you and your daughter could do it that way. Although having the permanent annual pass add-on has the better value.
Emilia, you two are going to have the BEST 5 days ever! If you have any other questions as you continue your Annual Passholder journey, please revisit us here at planDisney.
I’m all ears! Magic always,
LeAndra
