New: Disney World Annual Pass Sales Are Paused For Guests

Guests hoping to purchase Annual Passes for Walt Disney World are left disappointed. Find out the current status of Annual Pass sales.

Annual Pass

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.

Sales Paused

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 become available online today, April 20 at 6:00 am!

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.“

Earlier we shared that a virtual waiting room is in place to purchase an Annual Pass with an extremely long estimated waiting time. Many guests were successfully able to purchase their pass, but still, others made it to checkout and received error messages.

Currently, the sale of Annual Passes is paused. The Walt Disney World website now states, “Pardon the Inconvenience. Annual Pass sales will resume as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding.”

Those guests currently in the virtual waiting room for the Annual Pass have a recalculating screen for their estimated wait time. At this time it is unclear if all passes are still available for the purchase of if this is simply a technical error.

“Pardon the Inconvenience. Annual Pass sales will resume as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding.”

Will you be purchasing an Annual Pass this week? If so, which level will you purchase? Do you think sales may be suspended again? Share your thoughts and also share this great news with your friends.
