The Disney World Annual Pass RULE that EVERYONE Forgets

In case you missed the news, Disney World is about to start selling annual passes again!

NEW AP card

Sales have been paused for most pass tiers for quite some time now, but on April 20th, all four pass types will be available to purchase online again. Disney has warned that there are limited quantities, but we already know what the pricing will look like, so you’ve got a little bit of time to plan for that purchase. However, with all this news, there’s one rule we think we should discuss!

When it comes to annual pass purchasing, many people don’t realize you don’t have to use your pass right away! Once you buy a pass, you have 365 days to “activate” it (use it for the first time). So if you want to go ahead and buy your pass on April 20th, but you’re not traveling until October, this rule can work in your favor.

NEW Walt Disney World Annual Pass

Each annual pass is good for exactly one year, so if you don’t use that pass until October, then the countdown won’t start until then. This means that if you have a trip planned for later this year, you may want to jump on those annual pass sales as soon as they drop on the 20th — otherwise, your desired pass type might sell out and be unavailable at a later date.
