Disney Announces Start Time For Walt Disney World Annual Pass Sales
On Thursday, April 20th, Walt Disney World fans will finally have an opportunity to purchase new Annual Passes.
That’s right, for the first time in over 18 months, all four of Walt Disney World’s Annual Passes will be available for purchase.
While Disney Vacation Club members were given an opportunity to purchase the Sorcerer Pass a week early, on April 20, non-DVC members will get their chance.
What Time Will Passes Go On Sale?
Because of the limited number of passes that will be available during this window, many have wondered what time Annual Passes would go on sale.
Today, Disney announced that guests will be able to purchase new Annual Passes no earlier than 6AM ET on April 20th, 2023.
Disney also notes that the number of passes for sale will be limited, and they may also become unavailable.
A Rare Window
The last time that all four tiers of Annual Pass were available was November 2021. Prior to that window, sales of Annual Passes had been suspended since March 2020.
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders had been able to renew their passes at any time, however, and the Pixie Dust Pass had remained available for Florida residents.
While Disney did not open up new Annual Pass sales last year, the company did announce new pricing.
Here are the current Annual Pass Prices and how those prices increased.
- Incredi-Pass: $1399 (was $1299)
- Sorcerer Pass: $969 (was $899)
- Pirate Pass: $749 (was $699)
- Pixie Dust Pass: $399 (no change)
Big News For Passholders
The other big news for Annual Passholders is that they can now visit any of the Walt Disney World theme parks after 2PM without a park reservation. Be warned, however, this does not apply to Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays.
