Walt Disney World Annual Passes Get a Makeover
Walt Disney World Annual Passes Are Back!
When you're neighbors with Mickey, a Walt Disney World Annual Pass is almost a necessity! Being an Annual Passholder gives you a special kind of access to the magic, allowing you visit again and again. Revisiting your favorite attractions, popping in for Dole Whip or to catch a show, and sharing the joy of Walt Disney World with your family, neighbors and friends are all easy for Horizon Westers — many of whom moved here specifically to be able to do that!
After what felt like a very long hiatus, Annual Passes are back just in time to help you make the most of The World’s Most Magical Celebration — the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, which starts on October 1st.
But some things have changed in the newest iteration of the program. Access and perks look a little different and now there are just four unique passes to choose from. Here are the details...

Here are some highlights of the new Annual Passes:
- Hold More Park Reservations: Depending on their pass type, Passholders may now hold up to five Disney Park Pass reservations at a time. Disney will also be adding “bonus reservations” to the calendar from time to time, so Passholders can make an additional park reservation without it counting against their applicable reservation hold limit. Plus, when Passholders stay at Disney Resort hotels or other select hotels, they will also be eligible to make theme park reservations for each day of their stay – in addition to the reservations you can hold based on your pass type!
- Customize Your Pass: Choose different add-on options based on your preferences – from the Water Park and Sports option to Disney PhotoPass downloads. These add-on options will be available for purchase with any of the four new passes.
- Access a New Integrated Calendar: Planning will be easier with enhancements to the reservation system, including a new integrated calendar that lets Passholders quickly see blockout dates for each pass type, view available days and make, modify or cancel a reservation all in one place.
- Enjoy Passholder Perks: Passes will continue to offer benefits you know and love including the Park Hopper option, standard theme park parking and discounts on merchandise and dining. And, there will be a few special surprises throughout the 50th anniversary celebration!
