Hey there, Melissa! I'm glad you've stopped by planDisney with your question about becoming an Annual Passholder.
Melissa, I've been a
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder for years now and let me tell you, the program is fantastic. Besides the obvious perk of getting to visit the Walt Disney World Theme Parks a lot, there are also some other really great benefits. Some of my favorites are complimentary theme park parking, the use of Memory Maker for the entire year and the discounts on food and merchandise make it so tempting to get that extra souvenir. It's really a great program.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the sale of new Walt Disney World Annual Passes has been temporarily suspended and I'm not sure when it will open back up. I don't think it will be too much longer to wait though, Melissa. As we are seeing most of the restrictions lifted, I also think we will see higher theme park capacity and I think Walt Disney World will be more open to selling new Annual Passes then. Also, I know the program isn't going anywhere because Guests with current Annual Passes, like myself, are being able to renew at this time. I'd keep a close eye over on the
Disney Parks Blog in the coming weeks in anticipation of an announcement. I truly don't think it will be long now.
Until then, you have two ticket options if you want to visit Walt Disney World in the meantime. You can purchase a standard theme park ticket that allows entry into one Walt Disney World Theme Park per day or you can upgrade to purchase a park hopper ticket. Park hopping is where you are able to visit multiple Walt Disney World Theme Parks in one day. There is not a bad choice but I'm partial to park hopping. Because you are a Florida resident, you can also take advantage of a special
Florida resident price when purchasing your tickets. The discount is really great, especially if you purchase a multi-day ticket.
I have my fingers crossed that you'll get to join the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder family soon, Mia. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to
come back and ask me. I'm happy to help.
Have a great day!
