Hey there, Richard!
Thank you for visiting planDisney with your wondEARful question about
Walt Disney World Resort annual passes.
Richard, it will not be a problem that you will not be back in Florida until January of 2022. In fact, your Walt Disney World Resort annual pass certificate will not expire until one year from purchase. Even if you are not able to return to Florida before your annual pass certificate expires, expired pass certificates may be applied towards the purchase of a new annual pass at current pricing so long as the new annual pass purchase price is equal to or greater than the amount paid for the original annual pass certificate.
However, you will be back in Florida well before your annual pass certificate expires. Once you return in January of 2022 and use your annual pass certificate to
activate your Walt Disney World Resort annual pass, your annual pass year will begin.
Did You Know? Even if you haven’t activated your annual pass, you can link your annual pass certificate to your My Disney Experience account to
begin making Disney Park Pass theme park reservations for your January visit, Richard!
I hope I have helped answer your question. If you have any additional questions, please visit planDisney again. We are always hEAR to help you!
Wishing you a Magical Paassholder Year,
Priscila
