    I currently have a Sorcerer's pass that expires February 2026. Can I purchase (not renew) a ap now, August, 2025, and activate it in August 2025?

    Bibbiddi-Bobbidi-Boo, Theresa! Welcome to planDisney, a group of Fairy Godparents who grant answers to your Disney vacation questions rather than wishes! A dream is a wish your heart makes, and a full year of Walt Disney World magic sounds like a dream come true to me! I am happy to offer you some information and guidance about purchasing a new Walt Disney World Annual Pass

    I hope you are enjoying your current Sorcerer’s Pass, Theresa! As a Disney Vacation Club Member, this is the Annual Pass I have used, and I loved every minute of the magic I experienced that year. You can purchase a new Annual Pass even when your current pass is still valid. So, you can buy a new Annual Pass in August 2025, even though your current pass expires in February 2026. You will have one year from the date of purchase to activate your new pass. I do advise that you be extra vigilant when making theme park reservations when you have two passes connected to your account. 

    Your question states you want to activate the new pass in 2025, the same month you purchase the pass, and while your current pass is still valid. You cannot have more than one pass active at a time, so you won’t be able to activate the new pass until the old one expires. If you meant to write August 2026 for the pass activation date, that is doable! However, it needs to be within one year of purchase. You can see the date you need to activate your new pass by in My Disney Experience under My Tickets and Passes. 

    I hope this information helps you to enjoy yet another year of magic in the wonderful theme parks of Walt Disney World! If you have more questions, please bring them here to planDisney. It is our sincerest pleasure to help you experience the most magical Disney vacation experiences possible.
