obtaining kid's annual pass ?

[Terry in NJ]

Hi,
We're going in 20 days but who's counting !!!!!!!!
Our first full day we're going to MK but I don't want to waste time getting the Annual Passes on that long guest services line.
If I run over to the Epcot International Gateway the night we get in, do I need to drag my daughter over there to get a 7 year old's annual pass? Do they need her "fingers" or anything?

Thanks alot!

If hers is the only one you are buying new at the gate and/or activating if you had vouchers, then you should take her with you. If you were buying for yourself or the rest of the family, her presence wouldn't be necessary. The CM is supposed to verify that the pass is actually for a child. Most will.

Children do not use the finger scanning system. Only holders of the Guest 10+ (or adult by Disney admission definition) AP use the scanner.

Thanks G.O.
I am buying them for both of us.
I would imagine we're already in the computer, having previously obtained annual passes.
So I hope they would not give me a problem if my daughter's not with me. She'd rather be swimming in Stormalong Bay with her aunt!
