Disney World Increases the Annual Pass Payment Structure
Without warning, Disney made a big shift for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders. Check out full details for this change.
Annual Passholder Perks
Annual Passholders receive some great perks at Walt Disney World. They include special merchandise and dining discounts, and preview events for new attractions.
Walt Disney World offers great room discounts available for Annual Passholders. Currently, Disney is hosting V.I.Passholder Days with great perks to enjoy from now until July 31, 2025. Check out the full listing of perks HERE.
One coveted collector's item that Walt Disney World Annual Passholders receive throughout the year is the exclusive Annual Passholder magnets. These are available at random times throughout the year and feature a different Disney character. Check out the most recent magnet HERE.
Annual Passholder Payments
There are a few different options for a Walt Disney World Annual Pass. The Disney Incredi-Pass is the only pass available for both Florida residents and non-Florida residents. Of course, this is the most expensive pass currently at $1549 and offers the most available park reservations.
The Disney Sorcerer Pass, Disney Pirate Pass, and Disney Pixie Dust Pass are only available for Florida residents. One other benefit for Florida residents is that these passes may be paid monthly.
For a time, Walt Disney World changed the payment structure for Florida Resident Annual Pass sales. The initial down payment was lowered to $99, which then increased the monthly payment for Florida residents.
Annual Passholder Increase
Even with this lower downpayment, the price of the Florida resident Annual Passes (Disney Pirate Pass, Incredi-Pass, and Disney Pixie Dust Pass) did not increase. For unknown reasons, Disney decided to revert to requiring the down payment of $205 per pass.
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder down payment returns to $205.
This is a bit disappointing to have to pay more as a down payment. The good news is that the actual cost per pass remains the same.
