Annual Passholder Help

[jessica289]

Hello,

I live in Iowa and I am planning to do 3 solo trips next year and one with my sister for her birthday. I was thinking it'd be much easier to just get an annual pass. Can anyone tell me if they are strictly for FL residents and where i can buy them?

If your total days are going to exceed 14 in one 365 day period then an Annual Pass is the right choice. Your next Decision, is if you Plan on hitting the Water Parks at least once each trip you'll want to make it a Premium Annual Pass.

Cheshire Figments Thread will have all the details and is the best on the Boards about Tickets!

hello, lots of good info from the other posters but so you don't have to hunt info down.

WDW passes come in many forms and their site does a good job IMO of explaining them. They are NOT for FL residents only and you can buy them on property at either the park or at guest services in Down Town Disney.

We bought our APs at our local Disney Store before leaving for vacation. We planned on 2 trips in just under a year at about 8 days each so we found we'd save just on tickets, then we bought a Tables in Wonderland card for discounts on dining and with the other discounts on shopping and tours it was well worth it for us.

Now my only dilemma is I feel like since we already have the tickets we should maybe squeeze in one more trip and DH isn't really keen on the idea. I'm working on him though.

The major problem with Annual Passes concerns when they are in a drawer more than 100 miles from Disney World and they whine a lot and scream:
