Hi Deborah and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Congratulations in advance for becoming a Walt Disney World
Annual Passholder! I have been a Passholder for several years and I love the convenience of an Annual Pass. You don't need to worry for one second about not having your laptop with you! I think vacations are better when you can leave the laptop behind!
You have two options to link your Annual Pass to your My Disney Experience account when you upgrade your tickets. You will have to upgrade your tickets at a
Guest Relations location. The Cast Members at Guest Relations are wonderful and they would be happy to help you link your Annual Pass.
If you would rather link your Annual Pass yourself, I think you will find it quite easy. When you open your My Disney Experience App on your smartphone, in the top row you will see "My Tickets." If you click on "My Tickets", in the top right corner of your screen you will see a blue circle with a plus sign in it. If you click on the plus sign, you will have a screen where you can link your Annual Pass either by entering the code found on your Annual Pass or by scanning your Annual Pass.
Once your Annual Pass is linked to your My Disney Experience account, your PhotoPass photos will begin to show up like magic! My family laughs that I've never seen a PhotoPass photographer and kept walking. We have lots of fabulous family memories captured in those photos!
Be sure to let us know if we can help you with any other questions!
Wishing you many magical vacations,
Amy H.
