Howdy Robert!
Welcome to planDisney. I’m so excited to hear that you and your family are looking to become
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders! My family and I have been passholders for the last several years, and we couldn’t be happier. There are so many great perks and extras that come along with being a passholder. I want to share a few of those with you, but first, let's get to your question.
Ok, let’s talk about each of these options, so you know what to expect. If you upgrade your tickets to an Annual Pass prior to your visit, you would need to make a
Theme Park Reservation for any of the days you decide to visit the parks. If you upgrade your tickets to an Annual Pass, you'll need to make a theme park reservation for any additional park visits during your stay. For example, if you arrived on Friday and decided to upgrade while you were visiting the parks, you would need to make a Theme Park Reservation for a visit on Saturday. You can upgrade a multi-day ticket on or before the last day of use. So if you decide to upgrade, be sure to do so before you leave the parks on your final day, since you can not upgrade an expired date-based ticket. A couple of things to note about the Incredi Pass: it has no blockout dates, which is awesome. I also looked at this pass’s current
Admission Calendar, and it shows available reservations for every day at all parks; however, in my experience, things can change, so I recommend making any park reservations as soon as possible.
I’m not sure if you knew this, but you can now make park reservations in the My Disney Experience app. From the home screen, tap on the 3 bars (≡) at the bottom right-hand corner, then scroll down to Park Reservations, and from here you can choose the reservation for Guests with Tickets or Annual Passes.
One last thing I would like to share is to be sure and check out the passholder BUZZ section of the My Disney Experience app for the latest passholder news and information. The latest passholder magnet was recently released, featuring Kermit the Frog.
Robert, I hope this helps with your annual pass plans. Please stop by anytime here at planDisney, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
See ya real soon,
Robert
