Hello Joseph!
Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney!
Walt Disney World Annual Passes can be a great way to stretch your vacation dollars if you will be making a longer visit or more than one visit during the year. I know many Guests and especially
Disney Vacation Club Members have been anxiously awaiting the return of new Annual Pass sales! I have been an Annual Passholder for many years and if we’ll be making more than one visit in a year, they have worked out to be a good value!
Disney Vacation Club Members will be eligible to purchase the specially priced Disney Sorcerer Pass. In the past, Disney Vacation Club Members were required to call Member Services to purchase discounted passes, as it was not available to purchase online. At this point, since there has been no statement to think otherwise, I would assume that this will continue to be the case when new sales resume on September 8, 2021. Although your Annual Pass is purchased over the phone with Member Services who will confirm your eligibility, you will still need to activate your Annual Pass before first use by visiting Guest Relations outside any theme park or at Disney Springs. You will need to show a photo ID and your Disney Vacation Club Membership Card at that time to activate the Annual Pass.
I hope this helps with your planning, Joseph! With all the excitement around the resumption of Annual Pass sales, I would anticipate longer than typical hold times for Member Services on September 8. If you have time to wait a few days, I might hold off just a bit with the hope of a shorter wait.
Wishing you
Membership Magic!- Kate
