Ahoy Alex,
Welcome to planDisney, fellow Passholder! It is a fantastic time to visit Walt Disney World Resort during The World’s Most Magical 50th Anniversary Celebration, especially as a Passholder. By the way, have you seen the new
Passholder-Exclusive MagicBands? I have my eye on the 50th Castle Magic Band.
The Disney Sorcerer Pass gives you even more park reservations on top of the standard Passholder perks. I was actually looking into that option when I renew later this year. You are allowed to upgrade any Annual Pass after purchasing it before your renewal window. Since you are interested in upgrading your Pirate pass, there are two options for upgrading. If you have not used your Disney Pirate Passes since purchasing them in September, you can upgrade to a different tier of Annual Pass over the phone using the V.I.Passholder line at (407)-560-7277. If you have used even one day of the Pirate Pass, the only way to upgrade is in-person at
Guest Services. Although, it does give you the excuse to visit Disney Springs and use some of your annual pass discounts.
Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Have a Magical Week!
Ashley F.
