Annual Pass

[RNlovesWDW]

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, but here goes. I have two trips planned to WDW this year. The first is a 6 day trip with my BFF in Sept. The second is a 8 day trip DH, DD, and DMIL in Dec. The plan is to buy a 5 day hopper for the September trip and a 4 day hopper for the December trip. I having been thinking that it may just be a better idea to buy an annual pass. I have to buy the five day hopper for the September trip because I am hoping for free dining and my understanding is you can't book free dining on an annual pass. So my question is, it possible to upgrade my 5 day hopper to an annual pass before I leave in September? If so, do I just pay the differance between the 5 day hopper and the annual pass?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes...you would pay the difference. If you do it before you come down, you will receive an exchange voucher and you'd trade it once you arrive at the parks.

Thanks so much Metro West!

Maybe I can squeeze another trip or two in next year, just to get my money's worth with the annual pass!

Thanks everyone for responding!

I am pretty much sold on the idea of getting an annual pass. Who am I kidding? Disney had me at hello!

So does anyone know what the price difference is between an Annual/Seasonal Pass and a 7 days w/wp & PH?

Some of your variables will be... Buying your 7 day WP/Hopper from Disney Direct.. OR through a Broker.. which is in most cases cheaper.. and sometimes MUCH Cheaper.( make sure you check the LAST Page that's where the Brokers sometimes HIT YOU with the shipping and TAXES.. some brokers are totally up front)

The Annual pass can ONLY be bought through Disney... so you would have to ADD the WP and More onto your AP.. If it is a Perc you really want. If not You can get a "discount" on the water parks and more option if you have the Ap's. Or maybe Buy one AP with the Extra's and get the discount for the rest of the family.

Another thing to think about... if you will have two or more trips within a Calendar year.. then most likely your AP will be cheaper.( as ticket prices go up every year)

Laying it out on spread sheet will tell you more.

The WP and More option is not THAT inportant to us. We go once during our visits.. so we just buy our tickets ( with Discount) when we are going.

Do that just muddy the water more ??
