You may go to the parks every day and use a lot of the Annual Pass perks, such as free parking, exclusive magnets, and even dining discounts in the parks, but there is one perk that might completely slip your mind.

When you purchase a Disney World Annual Pass, you’re spending well over $1,000 to visit the parks for the year. Of course, you get to go into the four parks as often as you want (outside of blackout dates that may apply) for the year, so the price is understandable to an extent. But if you’re paying that much for Disney World tickets, you’ll certainly want to use the benefits that are allotted to you.

Passholders have the benefit of free parking at the parks and discounts on merchandise and at select dining locations. For the cost of the ticket, use these benefits every time you can. But there is one place these benefits are often overlooked — Disney Springs!

The merchandise and dining discounts aren’t ONLY for the theme parks. You can get discounts on merchandise and food at select locations around Disney Springs! Many shopping and dining locations at Disney Springs offer 10-20% off, and since this is a popular place for people to hang out, go shopping, and visit for a nice dinner, make sure you’re taking advantage of this perk — it can save you a lot of money.

Getting these discounts in the parks is great, but also getting them at Disney Springs is HUGE. You’re paying a lot for the Annual Pass, so make sure you’re taking full advantage of those discounts, even at Disney Springs. It’s easy to forget since people often think about them at the parks, but please remember: you get to use these discounts outside of them, too.

Next time you’re in Disney Springs, don’t forget about your Annual Passholder discounts! These discounts aren’t just for in the parks; you can get 10-20% off at many locations in the dining and shopping district, too.
