Disneyland Annual Pass Question

[DisneyRoyalty]

So, at Disneyland I know that you can apply the price of your ticket that day, towards an annual pass. But I was wondering, if youcuold do that multiple times. Like, everytime you visit Disneyland you apply the price of your ticket until you've payed off an annual pass? I only wonder because I really want an annual pass. But the So. Cal Cheaper ones don't offer enough saturdays to be worth it (mon-fri job) and I can't afford to buy one of the more expensive ones outright.

Do you mean apply the price of your one-day ticket? You can only do it once, I'm afraid. But what you could do is apply it to the cheapest annual pass (So Cal select, $124), with a $61 difference, and then next time you can upgrade to the So Cal $154 with only a $30 difference, and so on. You just pay the difference each time. You'll have to eventually get a Deluxe or Premium pass if you want to go on Saturdays.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I answer questions about passes all day long.

yes you can only do this once with an active ticket....but i have always felt disney should make payment plans out for fl or cal residents so more people would buy them and get the more expensive all-inclusive passes....

What would be the difference between The So Cal $154 and the next one up? That's the Deluxe, right? I'm pretty certain that's the one I want.

[Cowardly Sparrow]

The Deluxe is $239, so an $85 difference.

If I bought the So.Cal Pass and got parking with it, and then later upgraded to the next up annual pass, would the parking part carry over or would I have to pay extra to add parking onto my pass each time I upgraded?

I'm just asking out of curiousity, since I live near WDW:
What do you mean "you can apply the price of your ticket that day"? Do you buy a one-day ticket, not use it, and submit it for a discount on an annual pass?

[QueenRahel]

no you can use it and that day at the park you apply the price of your ticket towards an annual...

The parking would carry over. You only pay for that once.

Well, actully, if you buy a one day ticket at the park, you have to use it that day because they're dated. It will be no good any other day, and thus usless to apply to an upgrade if you save it for later. So if you purchase a one day pass at the park and upgrade the same day, you'd still be paying the whole price for the annual pass all at once, which does you no good.

What you CAN do is visit your local Disney Store and purchace a one day ticket, which you can save (they don't expire until January 2008), and then bring it to Disneyland/world whenever you've saved enough to pay the difference between it and the annual pass you want. That's a good way to kind of 'make payments' on an annual pass.

If this didn't make sense feel free to ask any more questions.
