One fan, in particular, took to social media to publicly announce that they were letting their Annual Pass expire:

In Walt Disney World history, Annual Passes have only sold out once: when they were reintroduced after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021.

A Cast Member recently informed us that those passes only lasted for about a month before selling out, leaving nothing but the Disney Pixie Dust Pass.
