For one, each Disney World Annual Pass will be available for purchase for the first time in years, with some different pricing:

• Disney Incredi Pass: $1,399
• Disney Sorcerer Pass: $969 (Florida Residents and Disney Vacation Club Members only)
• Disney Pirate Pass: $749 (Florida Residents only)
• Disney Pixie Dust Pass: $399 (Florida Residents only)

Not only that but beginning on April 18 (today), Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can now visit any Disney Park without any Park Reservations after 2:00 p.m. However, Magic Kingdom is excluded from this new practice on Saturdays. Considering how it’s the most popular Disney Park, we can understand why.

However, we’ve just found out today that even more changes are coming to the Annual Passholder process.

Walt Disney World Annual Passes go on sale tomorrow for the first time in two years (excluding the Pixie Dust Pass, which has been on sale for some time), and it comes as no surprise that hundreds of fans are planning on becoming Walt Disney World Annual Passholders once the sale begins.

But for those who are already existing Passholders and wish to upgrade, the process may be different this time around. In the past, existing Annual Passholders had to call the Walt Disney World V. I. Passholder hotline or visit Guest Services within a Disney Park.

Going forward, existing Annual Passholders can now upgrade their Annual Pass on the My Disney Experience app or the official Walt Disney World website…HOWEVER, upon speaking with a Disney World Cast Member regarding this change, they hinted that they were uncertain how well everything would function online once the changes are made.
