Annual Passports to the Disneyland Resort

By Emily Davis
In August of 2015, I got with one of my good friends and we decided to get Annual Passports to the Disney parks. Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
The decision to purchase an AP was almost a no-brainer for me. I have loved the Disney parks for my entire life and no matter how many times I go to the parks, it’s never enough!
The only thing that almost stopped me from purchasing an AP was the cost. I chose to purchase the least expensive AP which, at the time, cost $299. Since I purchased my AP the prices have gone up.

I have the Southern California Select Passport. This pass allows me access into both parks Monday – Friday for a majority of the year. Holidays, weekends, and other peak dates are blocked out for me. Since I purchased my pass I have been able to visit the parks at least once a month and sometimes even more.

Overall, having an AP to the Disney parks has been a great decision. If you are a fan of Disney and have a way to get to the parks often, I encourage you to save up your money and get yourself an AP. It is a great way to get out of town and have some fun.
If you do end up with an AP, allow me to give you a little advice.
- Go with the flow. If you have an AP you most likely know that you’ll be back to the parks pretty soon. If your favorite attractions line is 60+minutes just go on to something else. It’ll be there for your next visit.
- Try something new. There are so many things that you can experience at the Disney Parks. Whether it’s trying a new food or going into a store that I’ve never been in, I always try something new each time I go into the parks.
- HAVE FUN!
