Hey hey Robert! Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to bring us your question.
You came to the right place! For me, being part of the Annual Passholder family feels like being part of the most magical club. Add a dash of savings thanks to that AP, and I’m all ears!! So, with that in mind, let’s dive into your question.
At this time, there isn’t a general discount on the purchase price of a brand-new
Walt Disney World Annual Pass, so new passes are sold at the standard, published price. That being said, if you’re already an Annual Passholder and you’re within your renewal window, Disney does offer renewal savings when you renew your existing pass rather than purchasing a new one. It’s a nice little perk for continuing to be part of the Annual Passholder family!
Did you know you can renew right on the
My Disney Experience app? Fun fact: I found this out as I was getting ready to enter EPCOT not too long ago, and my daughter’s pass had expired! But this process was so simple that by the time I was done walking from the parking to the main entrance, I had clicked through the prompts right there on my phone, and renewed her pass as easily as waving the fairy godmother’s wand and saying bibbidi bobbidi boo!
Robert, even if you’re starting from scratch without a discount on the initial purchase, being an Annual Passholder still comes with
lots of extra magic throughout the year, including discounts on select dining, merchandise, and special experiences, along with occasional Passholder-exclusive offers on Disney Resorts Collection hotels.
One of the best ways to stay up to date on all of these perks is by checking the
Passholder Buzz section in the My Disney Experience app, where Disney shares the latest discounts, offers, and limited-time surprises just for Passholders.
I recommend keeping an eye on both your My Disney Experience account and the Passholder Buzz in the app, since offers and details can change over time. If you have any other questions as you plan your visits, we're always happy to help!
I hope you enjoy every magical moment as an Annual Passholder. See ya real soon,
~Emille
