Hi Vicki! Welcome back to planDisney!
Becoming an
Annual Passholder to the Walt Disney World Resort is a dream come true! If you're able to visit enough times throughout the year, purchasing a pass is a great idea. Not only does it allow you access to the theme parks, but you'll also receive discounts on dining, merchandise, and resort stays.
If you go ahead and purchase an Annual Pass before your visit in November, you will be able to make park reservations for this trip once your purchase is complete. Being that you reside outside of Florida, I assume you'll be purchasing the
Disney Incredi-Pass. Normally, you can hold up to five park reservations at a time with this type of Annual Pass, but since you are staying in a Disney Resorts hotel, you can make reservations for each day of your resort stay. Your pass will not be activated until your first visit to a park, so feel free to purchase your pass at any time leading up to your stay. It will be valid for one year from its first use.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorite resorts at Walt Disney World. It's a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. There are numerous dining locations located here, so you can essentially dine at a new location on multiple days. You're also a short boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom, which makes travel to and from there quite easy. I'm counting down the days until I stay here again!
Vicki, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay and you have a magical time on your upcoming trip! Stop back and
see us again at planDisney with any additional Disney vacation planning questions!
