Walt Disney World has adjusted its payment structure for Annual Passes, lowering the required down payment and increasing monthly payments for Florida residents who choose the payment plan option. The total cost of each Annual Pass remains unchanged, whether paid in full or through monthly payments.


Previously, the down payment for Annual Passes purchased with a monthly payment plan was $205. That amount has now been reduced to $99 per pass, and remains at 0% APR. Monthly payment amounts have increased as follows:

  • Pixie Dust Pass: $34 per month (previously $25) - Total $469 + tax
  • Pirate Pass: $65.33 per month (previously $57) - Total $829 + tax
  • Sorcerer Pass: $87.52 per month (previously $79) - Total $1079 + tax
  • Incredi-Pass: $129.23 per month (previously $121) - Total $1549 + tax

Out of state can purchase the top tier pass, or did that stop that?

As an out of stater, I would buy that pass if offered.

I feel like we were in this category at DL also before letting our APs expire, I live 4 hours away so our trips included hotels and were primarily dining in the parks, drinking in the parks, shopping in the parks, etc, and since we’d done the parks hundreds of times we didn’t do many rides, we just enjoyed being there. Instead of the “less profitable” AP who stops in for a couple rides after work and then grabs In n Out on the way home we were more like “cash cow” APs, we spent a ton of money on the ancillary stuff and didn’t clog up the queues. Sadly we can’t justify the insane AP prices anymore so those days are gone, now we’re trying to visit all the National Parks, one door closes, another opens.

Which, I would like to point out for everyone, is an upgrade. As someone who has been buying some version of this pass for around 15(?) years, the old “Weekday Select” version had us blocked out all summer until the very end of August.

It was a seemingly-popular option for locals, with good value. What's stopping them from bringing it back? Oh yeah. Burbank. 🤦‍♂️

You're doing the AP thing all wrong! You're supposed to bring your own food and drink into the parks, not spend any money on merchandise, take up premium viewing spots for shows and parades hours ahead of time, and clog up other lines whenever possible. You can't possibly be contributing like you say you do, we have it on good authority around here that you aren't, nor are any Passholders. ;)

There are 3 tiers of "FL Resident" APs: Pixie Dust pass is mostly weekdays with some blockout dates around spring break, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and year-end Pirate pass includes weekdays plus many weekends, but with blockout dates around spring break, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and year-end Sorcerer pass includes most dates except a blockout around Thanksgiving and year-en The Incredi-pass is available to anyone, including FL Residents, and good for entry any dates the park is open (with a caveat that theme park reservations are required for all APs).

Fear of flying aside, the prices are also insane these days. It’s just not doable on top of crazy ticket prices, food prices, etc for a lot of families. This AP option seems to be an attempt to bolster demand, as I’m guessing they have seen a softening. The Florida resident passes for all of the competing parks are much cheaper. Disney can charge a premium to an extent because the product is premium, but sadly that advantage is dwindling by the day with the continued watering down of the theming and quality of the parks and resorts.

There is no such thing as a locals pass. Locals can purchase every tier of pass

Yeah, I believe theirs is third-party and disneys is in house (based on universal being on an external site and Disney being able to adjust at ticket windows)
