Being a Disney World Annual Passholder is more than just going to the parks as much as you want (although that’s pretty much all we need!). It also means exclusive perks, discounts, and opportunities!
Disney World Annual Pass
If becoming a Disney World Annual Passholder is something you’ve had on your mind, the time to do it is right now! DisneyWorld is running a promotion where Florida residents can get a 50% discount on the down payment on new annual passes.
Disney has announced an awesome Annual Pass deal for Florida residents who are looking to join the club. Pay only $99 for the down payment — which is 50% of the down payment on a new Walt Disney World Annual Pass. Of course, that will then be followed by the 12 monthly payments of $36 to $137, depending on pass type, and 0% APR.
Disney World Annual Pass
There are four Annual Pass options for Florida residents to buy. The cheapest is the Pixie Pass, which is only available for Florida residents. The cost is $489 for the year, plus tax, which results in $36 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR. This pass can hold up to three reservations at a time, with blockout dates on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and during peak and holiday periods.
Magic Kingdom
The second-highest pass is the Pirate Pass, which is also only available for Florida residents. It’s $869 for the year, plus tax, resulting in $69 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR. This pass can hold up to four reservations at a time, with blockout dates during peak and holiday periods.
Spaceship Earth
Then there’s the Sorcerer Pass, which is available to Florida residents and DVC members. This pass is $1,099 for the year, plus tax. With $90 payments per month, 12 monthly payments, and 0% APR. You can hold up to five reservations at a time, and there are blockout dates only on select days during select holiday periods.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Lastly, the Incredi-Pass is available to everyone, but the down payment discount will only be available to Florida residents. This pass is by far the most expensive, at $1,629 for the year, plus tax. That looks like $137 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR. This pass can hold up to five reservations at a time with NO BLOCKOUT DATES.
Hollywood Studios
As an Annual Passholder, you can experience magic year-round in all four Walt Disney World theme parks. Plus, enjoy Passholder benefits, like:
- FREE standard parking at the theme parks
- Discounts on dining, merchandise, recreation, and more
- Limited-time perks exclusively for Passholders
- Special offers on Disney Resort hotels are also available from time to time
