Elizabeth,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
With the return of
Annual Pass sales, this is a hot topic! I just answered this same question a few minutes ago, so I will share what I have learned. I checked around, both with Disney and with some of my planDisney pals. Disney has not announced an official time on April 20th that the Annual Passes will go on sale, except to say that they will be available during normal operating hours, which start at 7:00 am, Orlando Time.
RECOMMENDATIONWhile I would guess that the 7 am time is the answer, I will tell you that from personal experience, when they say something starts at 7, it can sometimes start a good 15 minutes earlier. If you are concerned, it is not a bad idea to get up around 6:40 am, get logged into your
My Disney Experience account, and stare a bit bleary-eyed at the screen until they start selling. I also would suggest that you remember to refresh your screen. More than a friend or two has sat by their computer waiting for a particular reservation or purchase opportunity to pop open, unaware that they had to hit the ever-popular refresh button at the time in question.
I wish you the best of luck in securing an Annual Pass. It is truly the key to worlds of magic!
Feel free to
write me back directly if you have any other follow-up questions!
Have a Magical Vacation!Doug
