Hi Kristen and welcome back to planDisney!
Being a
Walt Disney World Passholder lets my family enjoy more magic, more often! We love being able to pop by and visit the theme parks for a weekend visit or just for day trips, and having an annual pass gives us that flexibility. It's also great being able to use the Passholder discount on merchandise and select
Disney Dining locations. The pass really pays for itself after a few visits.
The
Disney Parks Blog announced just last week that new annual pass sales will start again on April 20th. Happy dance! I know so many Guests are really excited about this and are counting down the days to when they can
purchase a new pass. There are many perks to being a Florida resident when it comes to purchasing an annual pass. The monthly payment program is one of them and is only available if you are a Florida resident with valid
proof of residency. All non-residents are required to pay the full balance at the time of purchase.
If you are wanting to purchase a pass when they go on sale on the 20th, be ready early to do so. Passes opened up for sale for Disney Vacation Club members a couple of days ago, and the online purchase portal opened at 6:00 AM. The announcement did say that there will be a limited number of passes for sale, so we don't know how long it will take for passes to sell out, and if they do, when they will return again after that.
Please stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions. I hope I can welcome you to the Passholder family soon!
Have a magical day!
