    Can you visit the Disney resorts as an annual passholder without a reservation to the resort or its restaurants?

    Hi Leslie, 

    Welcome to planDisney! It's always great to chat with a fellow Annual Passholder, thanks for stopping by with a question. I hope you're making great use of your Annual Pass!

    My family loves our stays at Disney Resorts Collection hotels, and the theming and decor are unique to each hotel. From the European charm of Disney’s Riviera Resort to the whimsical fun of Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to the immersive feel of an African safari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, there’s so much to explore! I’m happy to share that you do not need to be a Resort Guest or have a dining reservation to visit a Disney Resort. Just keep in mind that parking at the Resorts is only available to Guests with a dining or hotel reservation. If you do have a dining reservation, complimentary parking is included.

    Anyone visiting Walt Disney World Resort can use transportation to get around, whether it's by bus, boat, monorail or Skyliner - even transportation can be an experience! My kids are looking forward to riding the Skyliner and seeing the views from up above. 

    I hope this information is helpful, Leslie. If you have any other questions, please swing by planDisney again. We're happy to help!

    Enjoy making magical memories,
    Candace
