My friend who lives in Ohio purchased an annual pass from Disney online and was told that she will be mailed a "voucher" that she will take to a theme park ticket window to exchange for her annual pass.

Here are her questions:

1) She will be driving herself. If she wants to obtain her pass at the Animal Kingdom ticket window - will she have to pay to park in the lot ( Parking is free with an annual pass, but she won't have the pass until she gets to the ticket window).

and

2) Isn't there a place at Downtown Disney where can take her voucher and obtain her annual pass. Can anyone explain IN DETAIL where this is ? Downtown Disney is BIG and I would like to give her accurate instructions about where to go to get her pass. She thinks she will probably go to Downtown Disney to try to get it rather than Option 1 above.

Thanks!
