Hi Amie and welcome to planDisney.
It sounds as though you're in the early planning stages of a 2026 trip to my favourite holiday destination -
Walt Disney World! If you ask me, it's never too early to start planning for your next visit. I truly believe that being prepared is the key to a stress-free holiday.
I'm guessing that you have purchased our
UK & Ireland Exclusive Disney Magic Tickets to use during your stay. These offer such amazing value for money - I can't say enough good things about them!
14-Day Disney Magic Tickets include 14 days of Theme Park admissions as well as 14 individual admissions to:-
Disney Water Parks (subject to seasonal closure)
Miniature golf at Disney's Winter Summerland or Disney's Fantasia Gardens (access prior to 4pm)
Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course (tee times required)
ESPN Wide World of Sports (excludes separately ticketed events)
Additionally, they also include
Memory Maker and let me tell you, as someone who loves nothing more than collecting photographs (as well as memories) during each and every trip, this is an amazing bonus. I usually clock up a few hundred photos during each and every holiday!
Going back to your question, Amie, I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, unfortunately, at this moment in time, it is not possible to upgrade the UK & Ireland Exclusive Disney Magic Tickets to annual passes.
If you’d like to become a
Disney World Passholder, you do have the option of purchasing an annual pass once you arrive in the US. You can do this at any
Guest Relations window at the theme parks and water parks, or, at the Disney Springs Welcome Center. It is not currently possible to purchase annual passes from the UK version of the Walt Disney World website.
To give you an idea of price, the current cost of a Disney Incredi-Pass is $1549 plus tax for Ages 10+. You can also add the Water Park and Sport Option and/or Disney PhotoPass Downloads for an additional $99 plus tax each.
Whilst I'm sure that this isn't the news that you were hoping to hear, at least you can now plan accordingly. If we can be of any other assistance with the planning of your 2026 trip, please feel free to re-visit us, here at planDisney, where we will be only too happy to help. You can even
ask me a question directly if you would like a UK perspective on anything at all.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
