Annual Pass Questions

[Dbktmc]

I have a question about annual passes and I'm hoping someone can help me. We are planning on traveling to Disney in June for a 10 day trip. Our original plan was to just buy a 9 day park hopper but we have decided that we are returning for a week in October. The savings on the pass cost as well as the savings for Memory Maker make this an annual pass good deal for us.

As I've been reading the various threads I've learned that I can just upgrade the pass any day that we are at the park as long as we upgrade before using the final day of our ticket. I believe that I also read that any pictures that the photographers take will still be available for me to download even if I don't have the annual pass before the first picture is taken. Is that correct?

My first question is will I still be able to book fast passes at the 60 day window for my October trip if I have room reservations? Also, will I be able to purchase the dining plan?

TIA!

Yes, you can upgrade up until and including the day you use the last entitlement on the ticket. But the sooner you do it, the sooner you can take advantage of discounts, etc. There is no actual benefit to wait until later in the trip, as it will still expire one year from the date you first used the original ticket.

I don't know about the photopass link, but as far as I know that's true. The are still associated with you. You've just changed the entitlements. If the new pass includes MemoryMaker, Then I believe it would still apply, but I haven't really looked into that stuff yet.

My first question is will I still be able to book fast passes at the 60 day window for my October trip if I have room reservations?

Yes. You need to have a room reservation and a valid ticket linked to your MDX profile. It doesn't matter if it is an Annual Pass.

Also, will I be able to purchase the dining plan?

Yes. As an AP holder you are allowed to get a "Room+Dining" package which does not also require the purchase of tickets.
