Hi Magali,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question about the Florida Resident Annual Passholder program.
One of the great things about living in the Sunshine State is proximity to Walt Disney World and the special deals Disney offers for Florida residents. One huge benefit is the ability to extend the cost of a Florida Resident annual pass over 12 months, interest-free.
The monthly payment plan is available whether you choose the Pixie Dust, Pirate, Sorcerer or Incredi-Pass annual pass. When you
sign up for an annual pass online or in person, you will be asked to provide
proof of Florida residency.
You will make a deposit (which varies depending on the kind of pass and whatever special offers are in place at the time) and submit a credit card that will be used to charge the monthly payments. The
current special offer (as of April 2026) is a $99 deposit per pass, which is about half the normal deposit.
My husband and I have been taking advantage of the monthly payment plan benefit for years so that our annual passes are always in place and are incorporated into our monthly budget.
Your pass will be valid for one year from the date of first use, and you will have a full year of passholder savings on resorts, merchandise, dining, special events and more. I'm super excited about the special discounts and perks that are coming this year during the
V.I.Passholder Summer Days celebration from May 1 through July 31, 2026.
I hope that's helpful, Magali. Once you have your annual passes and are ready to hit the parks, please let us know if you have other questions about planning your visits or using your passholder benefits.
Enjoy!
Wilma
