Arriving at parks at 6pm, can I still buy AP tickets on the gate?

We are driving down on Friday 13th. We will be buying annual passes on the gate so won’t be purchasing tickets beforehand. Does anyone know what is the latest time you can buy annual passes on the gate? I’ve read you have to buy them at a specific desk so unsure if that closes before the 9pm park closing. Thanks in advance

You can buy them at any ticket window, so you should be fine, though at 6pm, it's not unlikely that you'll have to walk through allllll the windows to find the one singular window that is actually open. But we just paid at an ordinary ticket window and they gave us the receipt and a paper ticket that we then walked in with and went to the annual pass office in Discoveryland to get our real passes. (They take your photo and get all the details there rather than at the first ticket window.)

By all means call to confirm, but there are signs everywhere about upgrading your day ticket to an annual pass and all the ticket windows have the annual pass prices listed, so I think there will be someone there happy to take your money!

Thank you! Fingers crossed
