Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Dave!
You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney. Thanks for stopping by with your question! Nothing makes me feel like an "Official Mouseketeer" quite like my
Walt Disney World Annual Pass. Not only do I get to enjoy a year full of magic at Walt Disney World theme parks, but with
dining and shopping discounts, special offers on Disney Resorts Collection hotel stays, and Passholder-exclusive events and merchandise, it sprinkles a little extra pixie dust each on each and every visit. Since it sounds like you're interested in becoming an Annual Passholder, let me share a little information with you about the current status of the program.
Although the newly-reimagined
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder Program launched in Fall 2021, sales of most new Annual Passes are currently paused at this time. The one exception to this is the Disney Pixie Dust Pass, which is exclusively available to Florida Residents. Although I was able to renew my existing pass last year, I've been hoping to purchase an Annual Pass for my husband, so I understand how frustrated you might be feeling that you won't be able to purchase a new pass at this time. If there's one bright spot, though, it's that Walt Disney World has indicated that this is indeed a pause, rather than a permanent cancellation of the Annual Pass program. As more and more offerings continue to return, I have hope that the sale of new Annual Passes is on the horizon. While I'm not sure when that might be, I can tell you that when the news breaks,
Disney Parks Blog is going to be your best resource for all the details. Be sure to keep an eye on it for all the latest Annual Pass news, as well as details about everything happening around Walt Disney World Resort.
I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney, Dave. If you think of more questions as you plan your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort, I hope you'll visit us again –– we're always here to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Amy
