Being a Disney World fan isn’t for the faint of heart — and that’s especially true if you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder.
Disney World Annual Pass
Sure, there are plenty of perks that come along with being a passholder, like free parking at the parks, discounts on dining, shopping, and hotels, and of course, admission to the theme parks. But, there’s something else being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with: price increases. And, we think we might know when we can expect even more Annual Pass price increases for Disney World.
Disney World Annual Pass prices are increasing… eventually. We may not have an official announcement from Disney about the next round of price increases just yet, but we do have a pretty good idea based on past price increases — including the most recent ones.
APs this way
Annual Passes have increased in price exponentially over the years, with many longtime passholders deciding not to renew because of the ever-growing prices and ever-shrinking perks. But, being an Annual Passholder still comes with plenty of benefits that might make it appealing enough for you to want to dip your toes into the water. We certainly don’t blame you — after all, going to Disney World every day is kind of our whole thing.

Disney’s current Annual Pass system was introduced when the parks reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’ve seen a couple of increases since then — both in October, one in 2023 and the other just recently in 2024. But, prior to that, we’d often see price increases hit Annual Passes in October and February.

At the end of the day, only Disney knows when Disney is going to raise prices on Annual Passes. But, if history is any indication, it’s possible that we could see price increases hit during these times — which means you should be prepared. If you’re considering buying a new Annual Pass, you might want to think about doing it before next October rolls around otherwise you might fall victim to those pesky price increases.

No matter what, you can guarantee that we’ll be on the lookout for price increases in Disney World and Disneyland. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest updates, news, and more!

I was an APH for the past year. I got it because the cost of the pass was offset by the only discount (for APHs) that was available on our hotel. We were very happy with the discounts available for dining and shopping, but unimpressed otherwise. Also, although I realize that they are under no obligation to ask, we missed out on using the discount at a few places that didn’t ask. As a new APH, it was hard to remember to ask ourselves, especially at first, and since most places do ask you. I’ve also never received any of the magnets, etc. that are sent out. We didn’t visit when there were pop up APH lounges or other benefits. I didn’t renew my pass because we’re not planning to visit again for over a year. If the ‘clock’ didn’t start on the next pass until the next time we visited, I might have renewed, but the price increases weren’t enough to risk paying for a whole year that wouldn’t be used. We can pay for almost an entire vacation elsewhere for what just the pass costs.
