Hiya Ronald!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for sending us this magical question! I am so excited that you are looking into purchasing a Disney Annual Pass, and with the World's Most Magical Celebration in full swing, there is so much magic for you to experience. I got my Annual Pass in October 2022, and I honestly could not go back to using regular theme park tickets!
Just like Disney theme park tickets, there is truly an option for everyone when it comes to Annual Passes. This past October 2021, Disney announced four
new Annual Passes: the Disney Pixie-Dust Pass, the Disney Pirate Pass, the Disney Sorcerer Pass and the Disney Incredi-Pass. All passes offer bonus reservations, reservations for your Resort hotel reservation length, complimentary standard theme park parking, and special offers on merchandise and dining. The main differences are the number of theme park reservations you can make without a Resort hotel reservation and blockout dates. If you would like to compare prices and offerings for each Annual Passes, Disney made a handy
table that includes all the information you will need to make your choice. The bad news, Ronald, is that
the sale of Annual Passes is currently paused. However, as a Florida resident, you can still purchase the Disney Pixie-Dust Pass if it is the best option for you. We also do not know when Annual Passes will be sold again, so it could be any day! To stay updated on Disney parks news and offerings, keep an eye on the
Walt Disney World Resort website.
Now, Ronald, let's talk about all the incredible offerings that you will be able to experience once you purchase your Annual Pass! Indeed, the 50th-anniversary celebration is an event you will not want to miss. With brand new nighttime spectaculars, returning favourites, themed entertainment, celebratory merchandise and food offerings, there is no better time to be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. I absolutely love watching
Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire and Mickey's Celebration Cavalcade over at the Magic Kingdom Park. Seeing Mickey and his friends in their EARidescent costumes makes your day that much more special! Plus, you have to go and watch
Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park and
Harmonious at EPCOT if you have not already. These two shows combine the newest technology with amazing storytelling and your favourite Disney movies. These shows might have only been here since October 2021, but they have already become some of my favourites!
I hope this was helpful, Ronald, and that you and your family will have the best day ever on your next Disney visit! If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your first visit as an Annual Passholder, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help, especially from one Annual Passholder to another!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
