Walt Disney World has announced the launch of their new Annual Pass system, complete with 4 different tiers and 4 different prices.
The annual pass program went on a brief hiatus following the closures of Walt Disney World in March 2020. Now the new system will be in place just in time for the World’s Most Magical Celebration– Disney World’s 50th anniversary with Disney Incredi-Pass, Disney Sorcerer Pass, Disney Pirate Pass, and Disney Pixie Dust Pass launching on September 8.
So, how much are these annual passes, and what do we get for our money- let’s check it out!
Disney Incredi-Pass will set you back $1,299 plus tax, or $99 per month for 12 months after a down payment of $205. This pass is for all guests, no matter where they live or if they are part of a Disney membership program. It is most similar to the previous Platinum pass
Disney Incredi-Pass has zero block out dates and holders are able to hold up to five park reservations at any given time.
There is a small discount for those who currently hold an annual pass. They can renew/upgrade to Disney Incredi-pass for $1,104.
Disney Sorcerer Pass will cost $899 plus tax, or $63 per month after a $205 down payment. The Disney Sorcerer Pass is available to Florida residents and Disney Vacation Club members with a blue ID card and is similar to the previous Gold pass.
There will be some block-out dates in which the pass will not be able to be used. Five park reservations at a time are also available to holders of the Disney Sorcerer Pass.
The discount for current Passholders brings the renewal of this pass down to $764.
Disney Pirate Pass will be $699 plus tax, or $45 per month for 12 months after a $205 down payment. This pass entitles the holder to only one four park reservations at a time and is only available to Florida residents. Some block-out dates will apply. It is most similar to the previous Silver pass.
Current Passholders can renew the Disney Pirate Pass for $594.
Disney Pixie Dust Pass will only set holders back $399 plus tax or $19 per month for 12 months after a $205 down payment.
Closest to the previous Weekday Select pass, it entitles holders to have three park reservations at any given time. It will incur the most block-out dates of all the passes and is available to Florida residents only, current Passholders can renew the Disney Pixie Dust Pass for $339.
For all four of the new Disney Passes, “bonus reservations” will be added to Disney’s calendar new integrated calendar from time to time. This will allow any passholders to make an additional park reservation without it counting against their reservation hold limit.
Planning will be easier with enhancements to Disney’s new reservation system, including allowing Passholders to view block out/ available dates for their pass type as well as make, modify and cancel reservations all in one place.
If Passholders stay at Disney Resort and certain other select hotels, they will be eligible to make park reservations for each day of their stay. This also will not count against their pass’s applicable reservation hold limit
All passes can be customized with add-ons (at a cost) available from water park options to PhotoPass downloads. Currently, upcoming Genie+ and Lightning Lane are not available as add-ons for the new annual passes however, other benefits that are offered will include the ever-popular Park Hopper option, car parking, and discounts on merchandise and dining.
Special surprises are also being teased as offers are available throughout the 50th-anniversary celebration!
Current Passholders do not need to renew just yet- additional reservation day allotments will be added to Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus annual passes as of September 8 and when renewal comes up, holders will be able to renew to the Incredi, Sorcerer, Pirate and Pixie Dust passes (at a special renewal price).
