As shared by Disney Parks Blog: “We are introducing four new Annual Passes offering the flexibility and choice to meet Guest needs, each designed based on Passholder feedback. These passes will help our biggest fans experience all that’s to come during “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” – from new attractions and nighttime spectaculars to dazzling decorations at all four theme parks and more!”

To summarize the breakdown above, when the 4 new passes go on sale on September 8 the 4 new passes and prices are:

• Incredi-Pass: $1299
• Sorcerer Pass (only for Florida resident or Disney Vacation Club Member): $899
• Pirate Pass (only for Florida resident): $699
• Pixie Dust Pass (only for Florida resident): $399
• Can add on PhotoPass and Water Parks offer as $99 add-ons.

What’s New: 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. We’ll 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 our four new passes. 
• Access a New Integrated Calendar: Planning will be easier with enhancements to our 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 offerbenefits 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 50^th anniversary celebration!
• Pass options will be available beginning Sept. 8, 2021. 

Disney is also introducing a new look for the Annual Passholder program to honor the past while looking forward to the future. Using a piece of the original Walt Disney World Resort logo as a foundation for bright colors and energetic design, the program’s new look puts Passholders right in the middle of the magic.
