“Overlap” Annual Vacations & Buy an Annual Pass

“Overlap” your yearly Disney Vacations to make annual passes save you money. Most people think annual passes are not for them since they are only staying a week or less a year. But if you are planning to spend 10+ days at Disney World on two years of vacations an annual pass may save you money by just coming a week or two earlier the following year.

Take a trip to Disney World this year and buy your annual pass (example: the 2nd week of June), then plan on coming to Disney World a week or two earlier on next year’s vacation (example: 1st week of June) and use the passes again before they expire. Not only will this save you money on passes, but the Annual Passholder discounts on food, hotels, and merchandise will add to the overall savings. You can also buy a “Tables in Wonderland” card as an Annual Passholder (only AP, DVC and Florida residence can buy this) which saves 20% on all table service restaurants and that adds up fast.
