How can I purchase a WDW Annual Pass?

[BRIAN ROBERTS]

Our family returned to UK last month after our first visit to USA.

We spent 14 brilliant nights at Royal Pacific Resort and I purchased a Preferred 2-Park Annual Pass for Universal before coming home.

Seemed a good deal at the time; 2 years for the price of 1.

It's still possible to purchase one on the Universal website.

However, the family now want to go to WDW next year.

I keep reading about the WDW Annual Pass but have spent ages trying to locate a site without success where I can purchase a WDW Annual Pass.

Please help.

I don't know of any place you can buy it in advance. I purchased mine at Downtown Disney. I do know you can also purchase them at any ticket window at the parks. All that is available on the disneyworld.com website for UK visitors was a 10 day world ticket especially for UK visitors. US residents can buy AP on that website. I don't know a way around that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks Desnik.

Further reseach by myself seems to suggest I may be able to purchase an AP in one of the many Disney Stores located in several cities over here in the UK.

Brian,
We always buy ours at a Disney Store here in the US, so I would imagine you should be able to in the UK as well. One thing to know, if you are definitely going to WDW, buy the AP's as soon as you can. When you purchase is irrelevant, it is when you activate that the clock starts. And as prices may increase next year, you could save a few pounds by buying them sooner.

Thanks. Doc, I shall do just that as soon as possible.

I have been to Liverpool today on business and called into their Disney Store for details of the Annual Passes only to be told by the Manager that they do not sell Annual Passes.

She told me that I can purchase Annual Passes inside WDW.

However, that doesn't sound too convenient to me especially if we may need them to first book into our WDW Resort and then to move on to the park entrance.

Can anyone please come up with any ideas as to how we may overcome this obstacle?

Brian,
I just checked the WDW website to see if I could order APs from the UK. Interestingly enough, that was not an option. I wonder if APs are only for sale in the US? And are they inteneded only for US citizens. I doubt the latter is true.
I will e-mail you with a suggestion and see if we can't get this ironed out.
