Disneyland Annual Pass How Does it Work

Buying a 12 month passport to Disneyland gives you unlimited access to either
Disneyland Anaheim or Walt Disney World Orlando for an entire year. If you think
that you are likely to be visiting one of the two parks many times over a one
year period then securing a yearly passport makes sense because it can mean
significant cost savings. The more often you go the better value you are getting
for the initial cost of your ticket. There are two ways that you can buy your
year long pass, either in person or online. If you are planning on using your
pass immediately then either option is fine but if you are wanting to use it
some time in the future then buying it online is best. This is because a yearly
passport purchased on the web does not have an expiry date and the clock doesn’t
start ticking until you first use it at your chosen theme park.

You can
get a yearly passport to Walt Disney World in Orlando or Disneyland in Annaheim.
There are basically two types of tickets: deluxe and premium. If your yearly
ticket turns out to be well worth the investment then you can resubscribe for
the following year at a slight reduction.

What is so attractive
about a Disneyland yearly ticket?
. you get
unlimited admission to the main theme parks within one Disney establishment for
12 months. For Walt Disney World, Orlando this means access to Magic Kingdom
Park, Epcot, the Disney-MGM Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. At
Disneyland, Anaheim you get access to the main area and Disney’s California
Adventure (DCA) as well.
. free parking;
. while at the
park if you spend a minimum of $10 at a Disney dining outlet or hotel you’ll get
at least 10% off the price.
saving on your lodging if you stay at a
Disney Resort Hotel and quote your yearly passport number when you make your
reservation
travel from one park to another within Disneyland or Walt Disney
World in the same day without incurring any extra costs. So in California you
could go to Disneyland in the morning, the California Adventure in the afternoon
and then back to Disneyland’s main grounds in the evening.
jump on to
Disney’s transport system to get around the grounds or from one section to
another
. if a t-shirt or stuffed toy takes your fancy you can save ten
percent on the cost of all Disney items for sale.

What it
doesn’t include:
. entry to separately priced events or
activities

The main difference between the annual and premium passport,
apart from the price, is that the extra you pay gets you a higher discount on
food and accommodation and you get unlimited admission to more places.


If you are a Florida or Southern California resident then Disney has
special yearly passports for you. However, while these passes are significantly
cheaper than the standard deluxe or premium passports, you are restricted to the
number of days you can use them to those days specifically nominated by Disney
and parking is not included in the fee.

So who buys a Disneyland
Annual Pass?
The yearly passport appeals to Disney fanatics who just
can’t get enough of all things Disney but also to those who want to take their
time to enjoy their Disney experience. A year long passport means you can go day
or night, you aren’t as worried about seeing and doing as much as you can on
each visit because you know you can come back anytime in the next 12 months.
Overall it is a more relaxed way to take it all in.
