How do I buy an Annual Pass?

How do I buy an annual pass? We're arriving late evening next Friday and want to be in the Magic Kingdom for rope drop the next morning? Can I buy them at the resort or do I have to wait until I get to MK that morning?

I remember reading something recetly that the Disney Resorts do not sell the Annual Passes ( not sure how true that is). I am not sure how late you are planing to get to your resort, but if you can not get them there, and it is not too late, you can go to Downtown Disney and buy the pass at the Guest Relations there.

You can purchase at the World of Disney on 5 and 55th street provided you can get down to the city before you leave. . OOPS sorry, got a little confused about your location, If you are departing in 7-14 days you can buy them at the Disney website and get them express mail, or you can purchase them online and pick them up at any theme park will call window. If you are getting an AP RATE AT YOUR RESORT you should still be able to check in as long as you stop by the front desk at some point and show your pass. To tell you the truth, they often don't ask.

Actually, this is really helpful. My DH works telecommutes to the city and I think he has to be there next week for a meeting. This might work.

Thanks!

Please note that if you buy an AP at a Disney Store you will most likely just get a voucher that you'll need to turn into an AP, so pretty much just waiting in line twice. Just make your way to Downtown Disney's guest relations the evening you arrive and purchase it there on the spot. Then the next day you'll just be able to walk right up to the turnstyles and enter.

David r is right. You will be given an exchange voucher At the Disney Store, but if you get to the park early it only takes about 3-4 mins for them to print your actual pass. Just did it myself last Saturday morning at the MAGIC KINGDOM.
