Walt Disney World paused sales of most annual passes back in 2021, leaving plenty of would-be passholders disappointed. That pause is long over: annual passes have been available again since 2023, and all four tiers have stayed consistently on sale since. Here’s the current state of Disney World annual passes, including pricing and who’s eligible for each tier.
Are Disney World Annual Passes Currently On Sale?
Yes. All four Disney World annual pass tiers, Pixie Dust, Pirate, Sorcerer, and Incredi-Pass, are currently available, though eligibility varies by tier.
The Incredi-Pass is open to anyone, regardless of where they live. The other three tiers are restricted: the Sorcerer Pass is available to Florida residents and Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members, while the Pirate Pass and Pixie Dust Pass are limited to Florida residents only.
Prices were raised in October 2026 (reported effective 6 October 2026):
- Incredi-Pass: $1,749 (no blockout dates)
- Sorcerer Pass: $1,139 (blockout dates apply during select holiday periods)
- Pirate Pass: $909 (more extensive blockout dates)
- Pixie Dust Pass: $499 (the most restrictive blockout calendar, including most weekends)
Prices, blockout dates, and eligibility rules can all shift, so it’s worth checking Disney’s official annual pass page for the current details before buying.
The Four Annual Pass Tiers
The Incredi-Pass is the only tier with no blockout dates at all, making it the top choice for frequent visitors or anyone traveling during peak season. It’s also the only tier open to out-of-state visitors.
The Sorcerer, Pirate, and Pixie Dust passes all trade a lower price for a growing number of blockout dates, mostly clustered around major holidays and, for the Pixie Dust Pass, most weekends too. These are aimed squarely at Florida residents and DVC members who can visit more flexibly throughout the year.
Annual passholders also get park discounts on dining, merchandise, and select experiences, along with add-on options like water park and sports access or Disney PhotoPass downloads, available with any of the four tiers.
A Brief History of the Pause
Disney paused new annual pass sales during the pandemic, and that pause dragged on for a couple of years as the parks worked through pent-up demand and capacity constraints. The Pixie Dust Pass, limited to Florida residents, was the first to return in 2021.
The rest of the lineup returned in stages, with all four tiers back on sale by April 2023. They’ve remained consistently available since, with no further interruptions, and there’s no indication that’s likely to change anytime soon.
Alternatives Worth Considering
If an annual pass doesn’t fit your travel pattern or budget, multi-day park tickets remain a straightforward option for a single trip.
Frequent visitors to the Orlando area might also consider a Universal Orlando Annual Pass, which doesn’t require park reservations and offers unrestricted access on most passes, a useful comparison point if Disney’s blockout dates don’t work for your schedule.
