Welcome, Scott, to planDisney! I'm so happy to answer your question today.
As a fellow
Annual Passholder, I know all the joy it can bring. And since you're a
Florida Resident, you get some great added perks like currently having 4 choices of Annual Pass and the option to pay using
monthly payments. I'm just happy I get to visit more regularly. And of course, the
benefits and
discounts certainly don't hurt either!
If you don't renew your Annual Pass during the renewal window, it will likely be treated as a new purchase, meaning you'd probably pay the price reflected on the website for a new Annual Pass. The good news is that
the typical renewal period is 60 days before to 30 days after the pass expires, so you should have a little time to renew. All that being said, prices of theme park tickets, including Annual Passes, are subject to change. Regarding your child's
Disability Access Service qualification, that currently expires after 240 days. I confirmed with a friendly Cast Member that this would likely still be the case even if there is a lapse in their Annual Pass.
I hope you're ready for
a pretty wonderful 2025 at the
Walt Disney World Resort. I'm
really looking forward to the new
"Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After" show and the "
Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure," both projected to open in the summer of 2025 at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. And I've actually never witnessed a nighttime parade at
Magic Kingdom Park (cue the loud gasp), so you better believe I am ready for "
Disney Starlight," also set to debut this coming summer. I don't want to rush time, but I can't wait!
Scott, enjoy your next year of magic as an
Annual Passholder, and be sure to
reach out again with any other questions!
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning,
Matt
