annual pass

[minniestheone]

We are going to WDW at the end of February and are going to buy anuual passes since we are planning multiple trips this year. Should I buy the passes now and activate them at the ticket window at the park OR does it take that much more time to just buy them when we get to the park? In other words, is there an advantage to buying them ahead of time?

If rates suddenly go up, you might be glad that you bought them ahead.

Unless the ticket prices are going to increase (and usually you will read the warnings here a week or so before it happens... at least that's the way it worked with the last 2 price increases), I would wait and buy them when you arrive. Either way, you are going to have to hit that park ticket window!

I bought mine online and used the "will call" option. The only advantage is IF there is a price increase, which has NOT been announced.

Can't you buy AP's at the hotel that you are staying at? I was under that impression along w/ the fact that you could use the Disney Visa vouchers along w/ cash. Please tell me if I misunderstood. Thanks

You cannot purchase annual passes at your resorts/ on or offsite.

You can use your Disney dollars for their purchase.

Where can I buy Annual Passports (AP's) and Premium Annual Passports (PAP's)?

The following places will send you a voucher for your AP/PAP. This voucher must be exchanged for the actual pass at any WDW ticket window or Guest Relations window or at the Guest Relations offices at Downtown Disney or Downtown Disney West Side:

- Most Disney Stores throughout the U.S.
- online at www.disney.com
- by calling 407-WDISNEY
The following places will sell you an activated AP/PAP. No exchanging required:

- Any WDW major park ticket window
- Guest Relations at the major parks or at Downtown Disney and West Side
- The Ocala Disney Information Center on I-75 in Ocala, FL
- Disney's EarPort at Orlando International Airport (2 locations)
- Character Warehouse at Belz Mall 2 in Orlando
- Character Premiere at Belz Mall 1 in Orlando
- Character Premiere at Orlando Premium Outlets Mall in Lake Buena Vista
