Like everything else at Walt Disney World, the prices for annual passes are going up. Effective immediately, Disney has raised the prices on all four of its annual pass tiers.
It's the first price increase in a little over year. Disney last raised the prices of its Walt Disney World annual passes on October 11, 2023.
As of today, here's how much it will cost for the different Walt Disney World Annual Passes:
Disney Incredi-Pass - $1,549 (previously $1,449)
This is the largest increase of all the tiers. It's raising $100 to $1,549 plu stax, which preaks down to $121 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR after $205 down payment with the Florida Resident Montly Payment Program.
The Disney Incredi-Pass is the top tier pass you can buy, and the only option for those who want an annual pass but don't live in Florida. This pass has no blackout dates and you can make and hold up to five theme park reservations at a time on a rolling basis. You are also entitled to free theme park parking and discounts on dining, merchandise, and more.
Disney Sorcerer Pass - $1,079 (previously $999)
The Disney Sorcerer Pass is available for Flroida Residents and eligible Disney Vacation Club members. We're looking at a $80 price increase which breaks down to $79 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR after $205 down payment with the Florida Resident Monthly Payment Program.
The Disney Sorcerer Pass does have blockout dates, but mostly only during during big holiday weekends. Like the other passes, you can only make and hold up to five theme park reservations at a time, and you do receive standard them park parking and discounts.
Disney Pirate Pass - $829 (previously $799)
For those looking to not completely break the bank, I think the Disney Pirate Pass is the best bang for your buck. It's only seeing a $30 increase from $799 to $829, which equates to $57 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR after $205 down payment with the Florida Resident Monthly Payment Program.
There are considerably more blackout dates, including holidays and extended periods during summer and other months (usually around busy times when school is off). You also can only make and hold up to four theme park reservations. You still get standard theme park parking and discounts though.
Disney Pixie Dust Pass - $469 (previously $439)
The lowest of the tiers, the Disney Pixie Dust Pass is best if you're a local to Orlando. Or if you are able to visit the parks during the week. That's because this pass only allows you into Walt Disney World theme parks on "most" weekdays during the year.
The Disney Pixie Dust Pass is getting a $30 increase from $439 to $469, which turns into $25 per month with 12 monthly payments and 0% APR after $205 down payme
There are blockout dates and you can only hold three theme park reservations at a time. Standard parking is included along with discounts.
New Annual Pass Renewal Prices
The new prices are effective immediately, so if you haven't yet renewed, you'll be doing so at the more expensive price. Here are the updated renewal prices:
- Incredi-Pass: $1,299 (was $1,229)
- Sorcerer: $929 (was $849)
- Pirate: $709 (was $679)
- Pixie Dust: $399 (was $369)
Despite the price increases for a second year in a row, the Annual Pass is still one of the best deals if you live in the state of Florida. Considering the cost of an individual park ticket, if you visit more than a couple of times, it basically pays for itself.
With the cost of park operations always increasing, it's not a surprise to see Disney raise its prices. It's just unfortunate that it comes at a time when many people are struggling to make ends meet.
