Hi Martin,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your Annual Pass upgrade question. As a fellow
Florida resident, I completely understand the joy of having the magic just a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo away! Whether it’s a Hakuna Matata kind of spontaneous day trip or a well-planned weekend filled with fun, being an Annual Passholder truly makes every visit feel like stepping into a fairy tale.
Okay, let’s jump right into your Passholder upgrade questions! You can upgrade your
Annual Pass at any time (subject to availability), and the cost will be based on the difference between your current pass and the one you wish to upgrade to. If you're making monthly payments, your payment plan won’t change—you’ll simply be asked to pay the difference in a single transaction. After chatting with a friendly Cast Member (who I’m convinced had a little Genie magic), I also learned that upgrades are not prorated at this time. So, if you're considering upgrading, I highly recommend doing so sooner rather than later to enjoy all the added perks immediately!
You can upgrade through your
My Disney Experience app by selecting Upgrade near your passes or visiting a friendly Cast Member at the
Ticket Center at Disney Springs or the entrance of each park.
No matter when you make the switch, I hope you get the chance to visit EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts! With so many colorful exhibits, Lumiere-worthy bites, and even fun photo ops where you can literally step into a masterpiece, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.
I hope this answers your questions. If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
See you real soon,
Christina
