Welcome back to Happily Adventures After, and our weekly series; HAA Disney Top 10! This week, we are discussing the Top 10 Benefits of An Annual Pass at Walt Disney World!

A Walt Disney World Annual Pass is your key to more magic, more often! It unlocks unlimited visits (on eligible dates), exclusive discounts, special previews, and park-hopping freedom across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Whether you’re a Florida local or a frequent flyer, the pass adds serious value to your Disney experience.

Here are the Top 10 Perks that make the Annual Pass worth it:

10. Merchandise Discounts
Passholders save up to 20% on most Disney merchandise—including festival exclusives and collectibles. Great for treating yourself or gift shopping with a little extra pixie dust.

9. Dining Discounts
Enjoy savings at select restaurants throughout Walt Disney World, including Disney Springs and resort dining. From snacks to signature meals, every bite tastes better with a discount!

8. Free Standard Parking
Skip the $30 parking fee every visit. This perk alone adds up fast, especially if you drive in regularly or stay off-property.
