Today’s the day!
Walt Disney World Annual Pass
It’s been a bumpy ride for Annual Passes in Disney World for the last few years. Following the COVID-19 pandemic closures, Annual Pass Sales were paused. In September 2021, pass sales resumed with huge changes. Unfortunately, Annual Pass sales paused again in November for all but one tier. But today, Annual Passes are BACK — with sales starting at 6AM Eastern.
This means that today, the Incredi-Pass, Sorcerer Pass, AND Pirate Pass will be joining the Pixie Dust Pass as available to purchase. Keep in mind the number of passes for sale will be limited, so you’ll have to act fast to snag one if you’ve been waiting for sales to resume!

Ticket prices are the same as they were when they were raised in November, and the tiers are as follows:
- Incredi-Pass
- $1399 plus tax
- No blockout days
- Passholder can hold up to 5 Disney Park Pass Reservations at one time
- This is the only Annual Pass that is available to non-Florida residents and non-DVC members
- Sorcerer Pass
- $969 plus tax
- Some blockout days “during select holiday periods”
- Passholder can hold up to 5 Disney Park Pass Reservations at one time
- Only Available to Florida Residents and DVC members
- Pirate Pass
- $747 plus tax
- more blockout days than the Sorcerer Pass, including peak times and holidays
- Passholder can hold up to 4 Disney Park Pass Reservations at one time
- Only available to Florida residents
- Pixie Dust Pass
- $399 plus tax
- Has the most blockout days out of all the Annual Passes: Peak times and holidays blocked out as well as weekends.
- hold up to 4 Disney Park Pass Reservations at one time
- Only available to Florida residents
Disney has also confirmed that if you would like to upgrade your pass to a different tier, you will now be able to do so, rather than having to wait until your renewal window. However, “the difference in prices must be paid in full at the time of the upgrade and the new Pass will have the same expiration date as the original pass.” So, this might not be the best choice for you unless your renewal window is quite some time away.

I got up at 4:45 am Central standard time to be ready at 6:00 am Eastern and they aren’t on sale yet. Ugh. If they don’t start soon, I’ll have to get ready for work. I hope they don’t sell out quickly. I’ve never had one and am excited to become an AP holder.
Nothing is available yet……
Update – since 8:28 am the site has been showing a wait time of “recalculating” and the message:
“Pardon the Inconvenience. Annual Pass sales will resume as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding”
Great info!!
I got up in the UK, then realised it wasn’t until 11am here. Then I spent 2 hours in a line only to be sent to the US site. 4 hours in that line and got distracted and missed my slot! Back at the back of the line now for another 4 hours wait 🙁
After calling the Annual Passholder number last week, I was ready this morning to use my 8-day Park Hopper tickets as partial payment for an Incredi-Pass. I was told, and it was confirmed today, that the only way to get the credit from your currently held tickets rolled into the price of the annual pass is by calling. If it is done online, and you call afterwards, they cannot help you.
The phones don’t open until 7 am Eastern. After getting kicked out once, I did get in the phone queue. After 3 hours and 10 minutes, my hubby and I are now Incredi-Pass holders. Not any worse than standing in line for Rise of the Resistance! Good Luck to everyone. AP phone is (407)-939-7277.
It took 5 1/2 hours of waiting but I was finally able to purchase my first AP! I’m so happy 😃
Literally spent 8 hours in the waiting room (from getting ready for school, to pick up) and I was still able to get one. Hang in there if anyone is losing hope!
