Can my friend use my Disney annual pass?

Annual Passes – Frequently Asked Questions Yes! You can link Annual Passes to family and friends if they are connected to your Family & Friends list. Link an Annual Pass to My Disney Experience.



No, a Disney Annual Pass is strictly non-transferable and is tied to the specific individual who purchased and activated it. Disney enforces this through several layers of security. First, the pass is linked to your "My Disney Experience" account, which requires a photo and personal details. Second, and most importantly, Disney uses biometric finger scanners at the park entrances. When you first use your pass, your fingerprint is scanned and linked to that specific ID. If your friend tries to use it, the scanner will not match, and a Cast Member will be alerted to verify identification. Attempting to share a pass can lead to the permanent revocation of the pass without a refund and, in some cases, a ban from the parks. If you want your friend to join you, the best route is to check if your pass type offers "Bring a Friend" discounted tickets, which are occasionally available during slower seasons.
