💡 Passholder Pro Tips

🎯 Make Reservations Early

Passholders can only hold 3 park reservations at a time. Book popular dates as soon as you use one up! Park Pass availability can be limited, especially for Magic Kingdom.

💳 Use Payment Plans

Disney offers monthly payment plans with a down payment. Spread the cost over 12 months! Note: You must maintain an active pass to keep benefits.

📱 Check the App Daily

Passholder-exclusive offerings, merchandise, and experiences pop up in the My Disney Experience app. Check the "Passholder" section regularly!

🎁 Stack Discounts Carefully

Usually can't combine AP discount with other offers, BUT you can use Disney gift cards bought at 5% off from Target RedCard!
