Credit: Disney
In a recent announcement, Disney said that Walt Disney World guests would once again have the ability to purchase Annual Passes in time for the 50th Anniversary celebration. With the festivities starting October 1st, we anticipated that we wouldn’t be waiting long for more details. . . . and we didn’t. Today, in an email from Disney to current Annual Passholders, we learned when Annual Passes will be on sale again and what options will be available.
According to the email, there will be 4 new pass types available to guests. These include the Pixie Dust Pass, Pirate Pass, Sorcerer Pass and Incredi-Pass. Like the Annual Passes that we’re all familiar with, each of these pass tiers have different price points and benefits.

Of course, there will be perks that all Annual Passholders will have the ability to enjoy. This includes free standard theme park parking and savings of up to 20% on dining, merchandise and more. There are also some new perks including:
Bonus Reservations that will be added to the calendar from time to time, allowing Passolders to make extra reservations on select days at select theme parks. These will not count towards the number of passes you’re able to hold at any one time.
The Option To Customize your pass with different add-on options, such as Water Parks, Sports complexes and Disney PhotoPass. These options will be available to purchase at an additional cost and can be added to any of the 4 new available passes.
New Integrated Calendar which can be accessed by Annual Passholder to make planning easier.
Disney has also said that there will be other fun Passholder Perks available, offering Passholders special surprises. . . . especially throughout the 50th anniversary celebration.
These new passes will become available starting September 8th, but the perks [including the ability to make more park pass reservations] aren’t limited to new passholders. Also starting on September 8th, current Annual Passholders will have the ability to make additional Park Pass Reservations at the Walt Disney World theme parks. Annual Passholders can expect to enjoy all of the other perks they’re already familiar with until their current Annual Pass expires.
