Annual Passes Halted

When both Disney World and Disneyland closed in March 2020, many changes took place. Among those were their annual pass programs. At one point, you could not purchase new passes for either coast for several months.

In August 2021, Disney finally announced new/modified programs at both Disneyland and Disney World. There are now more tiers, higher prices, and different park pass allotments.

However, that was short-lived as many of the tiers sold out. They have been unavailable for months. Most Guests who want to purchase new passes or let their passes expire are out of luck.

Recently, we announced Disney World Annual Passes returning HERE. “New sales of the Disney Incredi-Pass, Disney Sorcerer Pass, and Disney Pirate Pass will resume and became available online today, April 20 at 6:00am!

Please know, as we look to provide a great experience for our Passholders, the number of passes will be limited, and passes, or a pass type, may become unavailable for purchase at any time.

For eligible DVC Members, the opportunity to purchase the DVC Disney Sorcerer Pass began online April 13 as part of Membership Magic benefits. Hopefully the upcoming sales won’t be affected by a glitch like DVC member sales did!

Expect a Long Wait

To grab yours as soon as possible, be sure to be on the Disney website now. However, when I (Susan) logged into My Disney Experience, I saw Disney is using a virtual waiting room. And as of 7:00am, there is more than an hour wait to purchase an Annual Pass.

As of 7:00am, there is more than an hour wait to purchase an Annual Pass.
