    My annual pass expires in December but I want to renew it early but for a different tier. When will I be charged for the higher tier? Once the annual pass expires in December or will I be charged now if I renew early?

    Welcome to planDisney, Patricia! 

    I love being an Annual Passholder at Disney World! I am sure you already know this, but the Annual Passholder Exclusive Perks page is a fabulous resource for Passholders that want to take advantage of all of the perks available to them! Check it out if you haven't already. 

    Sometimes it can seem like we're a little lost in the weeds when getting all of the correct information about Annual Pass renewal, so I'm going to try and list it out as clearly as I can for you below! 

    -If you upgrade your Annual Pass when renewing, you will be charged when you upgrade the pass (even if you're renewing early) or it will update your monthly payment plan.
    -You will immediately have access to the "higher tier" of Annual Pass perks upon purchase.
    -Your expiration date for the upgraded Annual Pass will remain the same as the previous pass tier you had (looks like that expiration date is in December).

    I hope that this answers your question simply, Patricia! If you have additional questions, please feel free to visit us again at planDisney! We're always just a dream away!
