NEWS: PRICES Confirmed for Disney World Annual Passes When They Resume Sales

We now know when Disney World will begin selling its full annual pass lineup again!

Happily Ever After is back in Magic Kingdom!

That day is coming on April 20th! Disney has said it expects the passes to be in high demand, and that means they could sell out. 

Because of that, you’re going to want to have your decisions made ahead of time and be prepared to jump online to get your pass. (Be prepared to see an online waiting room, too!) We’re taking a look at the pricing for the four types of annual passes available, as well as the details of the passes, and who can buy each one.

We should note here that Disney says the prices will be remaining the same when they go back on sale. They were raised a bit in December 2022, but they will be staying at that level. (Yay for no price increases!)

Disney confirmed that “as always, during your renewal window, you may choose to renew into any available pass type with a special renewal benefit.” However, if you want to upgrade your pass outside of your renewal window, you will be able to do that starting on April 20th. Disney sent a message to Annual Passholders stating that “existing Passholders will have the option to upgrade their Annual Pass, outside of their renewal window, online. The difference in prices must be paid in full at the time of the upgrade and the new Pass will have the same expiration date as the original pass.”

Disney Incredi-Pass

This is the only Disney annual pass that anyone can buy. All of the other passes are exclusive to Florida residents (and in one case, to Disney Vacation Club members). The Disney Incredi-Pass is also the only annual pass with no blockout dates — which means you can go any and every day that Disney World is open (as long as you have a Park Pass reservation).

Cinderella Castle

You can hold up to 5 Park Pass reservations at one time with the Incredi-Pass, and if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can hold Park Pass reservations for the length of your stay. The cost for the Disney Incredi-Pass is $1,399 plus tax. You can pay for it all at once, or — if you are a Florida resident ONLY — make a $205 downpayment and then pay 12 monthly payments of $108 per month. 

Disney Sorcerer Pass

This pass can only be purchased by Florida Residents and Disney Vacation Club Members (even those who do not live in Florida). It has some blockout dates during certain holiday periods. In the case of the Sorcerer Pass, those blockout dates are Thanksgiving weekend, and about a 2-week period at Christmas and New Year’s.

EPCOT

You can hold up to 5 Park Pass reservations at one time with the Sorcerer Pass, and if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can hold Park Pass reservations for the length of your stay. The price of the Disney Sorcerer Pass is $969 plus tax. You can pay this all at once, or — if you are a Florida resident only — make a downpayment of $205 and then pay 12 monthly payments of $69 each.

One more important note for DVC members! You don’t have to wait until April 20th to buy this pass. You will get early access starting April 13th. 

Disney Pirate Pass

This pass is only available for Florida residents. It has more blockout dates than the Sorcerer Pass. The blockout dates include about 10 days around Easter, holiday weekends including Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day, and more of the days around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.

Hollywood Studios

You can hold up to 4 Park Pass reservations at one time with the Pirate Pass, and if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can hold Park Pass reservations for the length of your stay. The price of the Disney Pirate Pass is $749 plus tax. You can pay this all at once, or make a downpayment of $205 and then pay 12 monthly payments of $50 each.

Disney Pixie Dust Pass

This pass is currently available — you don’t have to wait until April 20th for it to go on sale. It is only for Florida residents. This pass is the cheapest annual pass by far, but also has the least access to the park. In addition to the holiday blockout dates of the Pirate Pass, the Pixie Dust Pass blocks out every weekend — it is a weekday pass only.

Animal Kingdom

You can hold up to 3 Park Pass reservations at one time with the Pirate Pass, and if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can hold Park Pass reservations for the length of your stay. The price of the Pixie Dust Pass is $399 plus tax. You can pay this all at once, or make a downpayment of $205 and then pay 12 monthly payments of $19 each. 

NEW Walt Disney World Annual Pass

Which annual pass is best for you — and your budget? We recommend making your choice in advance and being online early on April 20th to buy your pass before they sell out!
