Okay, Disney adults, we know we’re all here because we love Disney and Disney World. At the same time, though, we do often have some complaints about visiting Disney World, and that’s okay — it’s allowed.
Disney World Annual Pass
Sometimes, people just don’t want to deal with all the crowds. Of course, everyone complains about prices when they go up (and they do). Others complain about rides getting changes. However, fans have one huge beef with Disney World that we need to talk about: it’s about Annual Passes for folks outside of Florida. So let’s have a chat about it.
If you’re looking to buy an Annual Pass to Disney World, four options are available: Incredi-Pass, Sorcerer Pass, Pirate Pass, and Pixie Dust Pass. Disney also has a special payment plan available for Annual Passes…at least for those guests who live IN Florida. Those who live outside Florida don’t get to do a payment plan — they must pay in full when purchasing their passes.
Annual Pass
So, that’s unfair to many fans right there. Basically, if you don’t live in Florida, you’re being punished for not living in Florida. Sorry, we can’t ALL live in Florida, am I right? But here’s what makes this even more of a problem. The ONLY pass non-Florida residents can buy is the Incredi-Pass, which is the most expensive Annual Pass available.

So those who don’t live in Florida are not only forced to pay for the most expensive pass if they want an Annual Pass, but they also can’t pay it over time like folks who live in Florida can do for all four Annual Pass options. Those who don’t live in Florida are likely those who use the pass the least amount of time, but they still have to pay for the most expensive pass and have to pay for it all at once.

To quote Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, “that doesn’t seem fair.”
With all that being said, though, having an Annual Pass does come with some good perks beyond just getting us into the parks. The occasional freebies (like the magnets) are nice, and we like getting to try exclusive snacks. We also appreciate the discounts on food and merchandise, as well as hotel rooms, which help us stretch our dollars a little more.

Disney World Annual Passholders also get access to exclusive merchandise, discounts on special events, access to exclusive lounges, and more. We also get access to early ride previews on new rides. So, the purchase is worth it for most Disney adults — it’s just something you have to prepare for!
