Walt Disney World Annual Passes

If you plan on visiting Walt Disney World for longer than eleven days during one trip (within 14 days of each other) or eight or more days for two trips or more over the course of one year, you will likely save money by purchasing one of the Disney World Annual Passes. These passports include not only entrance to the theme parks, but Disney World discounts on dining and hotels.

The Walt Disney World annual pass is good for 366 days from the day you first use the pass as your Disney World ticket.

If you plan an annual Walt Disney World vacation, consider planning your second vacation a little earlier so that you can have one purchase of an annual pass cover your tickets to the Disney World theme parks for two trips. Attempt to have both Walt Disney World vacations within the same 366 day time window.

Even for shorter vacations, you should look into purchasing a Walt Disney World annual passport for one person in your group. There are quite a few Disney World discounts only provided to passholders.

The new Walt Disney World Annual Pass program has been announced and has seen some slight changes from the previous program. The four new passes are:

• Access mostly on weekdays only- no weekends

Disney Incredi-Pass

• This is the only pass available to out of state residents or non DVC owners

If you want to purchase one of the Walt Disney World annual passports with blackout dates, but your vacation falls on one of the listed blackout dates, there is a solution. You can purchase a regular ticket to Walt Disney World and then upgrade that ticket to the Annual Pass on the last day of your vacation.

Park Reservations: Depending on their pass type, Passholders can hold up to five Disney Park Pass reservations at a time. Walt Disney World will also be releasing “bonus reservations” to the calendars from time to time so Passholders can make an additional reservation without it counting against their limit. Passholders that stay at Disney Resort hotels or other select hotels, will also be eligible to make theme park reservations for each day of their stay along with the reservations held for your pass type.
