Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Karen! Thank you for sending us your excellent question about
Walt Disney World Resort annual passes.
Congratulations on your upcoming vacation! You have made a great choice in deciding to become a Walt Disney World Resort annual passholder. As an annual passholder myself, I can tell you that you will enjoy the many
benefits that accompany being an annual passholder.
Your annual pass year will not begin until you activate your annual pass, in person, at Walt Disney World Resort. Once you activate your annual pass at any Guest Relations location or Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket window and enter the theme park of your choice, your annual pass year will begin.
Karen, if you already have Walt Disney World 5-day park hopper tickets associated to your account, you may find that
upgrading your ticket to an annual pass may be a better deal! If it is within 14 days of your theme park ticket’s first use and the ticket has remaining admissions, you are able to upgrade the ticket. Theme park ticket upgrades must be made in person and can be made in one of the following locations:
• Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket windows
•
Guest Relations locations • Lobby Concierge at Disney Resort hotels
Karen, I hope I have helped answer your question. If you have any additional questions, please visit us again.
All Ears,
Priscila
