Is Disney selling annual pass again?

Walt Disney World Announces Return of New Annual Pass Sales. The Disney Incredi-Pass, Disney Sorcerer Pass, Disney Pirate Pass and Disney Pixie Pass will resume new sales and can be purchased online no earlier than 6am Eastern Time beginning April 20, 2023. Disney fans, we heard you loud and clear!



Yes, as of 2026, both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California are selling annual passes, though the systems are more restrictive than in the pre-2020 era. At Walt Disney World, the "Incredible Pass," "Sorcerer Pass," "Pirate Pass," and "Pixie Dust Pass" are available, though some (like the Sorcerer and Pixie Dust) are restricted to Florida residents or DVC members. At Disneyland, the "Magic Key" program is the equivalent, often featuring various tiers like the Inspire, Believe, and Enchant Keys. However, "selling" does not mean "always available." Disney frequently pauses sales of new passes once they reach a specific capacity to manage park crowds and prioritize daily ticket sales. Current passholders are almost always allowed to renew, but new buyers often have to wait for "availability windows" that open periodically throughout the year. Additionally, all annual passes still require guests to make a theme park reservation for most days, meaning that owning a pass no longer guarantees "spontaneous" entry whenever the mood strikes, especially during peak holiday periods.
