Walt Disney World's new Annual Passes go on sale today, and alongside their introduction comes an updated Disney Park Pass reservation system.

The new website combines the Annual Passholder Blockout Calendar with the Disney Park Pass reservation system, giving guests a single place to manage visits to the parks.

You can choose the type of pass you have, the park you wish to visit, and which days are available subject to blockout dates. The new park reservations system offers between 3 and 5 reservations, depending on tier of pass.

There is also a screen for legacy passholders to accommodate the old passes that are no longer sold but are still active.

Because under bob’s blue ocean and idiot Bob 2’s further bad management trend…they sold Wall Street that the product has no equal and therefore was irresistible…so they made the unilateral decision - I’m told - in 2018 to push to eliminate APs or “equalize the value” to multi day tickets. And here we are…not invincible…not above consumer economics…and not the “hot chick” they once were

(I got the sarcasm, lol) But it just doesn’t make sense why the company wants to push APs away. While I may not spend as much on hotels, I definetly spend a ton of F&B/Merch on my countless visits to the parks yearly

Yeah your the undesirable that will support the company when times are bad. Why would they want someone like you hanging around? (This is sarcasm I know it doesn’t translate well sometimes)

You can’t downgrade a pass once activated. You can Downgrade it at the end/renewal window

There is no downside and no, you don't pay more as Disney doesn't charge a fee. Why? Disney wanted Florida residents to become passholders. October used to be the month Florida residents received ticket discounts and state employees could get discounted tickets.

I don’t believe so, I pay monthly for mine. The upside for Disney is that they get more passholders (even though they claim they’re the “undesirables”)

TraumaJun 07, 2023

Is there any downside to the payment plan ? Do you end up paying more? Just wondering why Disney would offer such and option.

No. Upgrades only.

I dont believe you can.

If we ended up being eligible Sorcerer Pass, is it possible to downgrade and get a credit after we have activated our annual pass?

Disneys IT sucks… News at 11 😎

Exactly! It's beyond stupid that they still have this roadblock up. I can buy a new Sorcerer Pass online at full price (and the system recognizes that I'm DVC) but I can't renew an existing one without calling?!?!? The website says renewing a DVC Pass requires a call, but the MDE app says the Pass "is no longer ger available," which is clearly false since I can buy a new one at full price. Whenever I think my job's IT people are clueless, I remember that it could be worse - they could hire Disney's IT people.
