Annual Passes?

[Alibaba]

Hiya Everyone
Sorry to bother you all on Easter Sunday
Just a quick question, How and where can you buy annual passes, roughly how much do they cost, and what are the benefits of purchasing an AP, e.g free parking etc. As there are 9 of us going (not until oct 08) i was wondering whether it would be worth buying one of these rather than a regular ticket, also are they like regular tickets where they are activated on first use or are they activated at time of purchase?
Thanks
Ali

Remember for most of the benefits not all of your party needs an AP

We only bought 1 adult annual pass last year (just in case we go back this year ) and it worked out great - free parking, discounts at mini golf and restaurants etc. Certainly didn't work out any dearer than the UK 14 day pass due to the great exchange rate

You can also buy the Disney Dining Experience card with your AP.Easily saved more than the $60 it cost,
