Disney’s new Annual Pass system starts today, so guests can purchase an Annual Pass or upgrade their existing tickets now!
Walt Disney World Annual Pass
We’ve already looked at the pros and cons of this new annual pass system, what you’ll have to pay extra for with it, and everything that’s missing from the new program. We’ve also seen all the blockout dates for the new annual pass, but these are also available with Disney’s new Annual Passholder calendar, which is available now through the My Disney Experience app. Let’s take a look!
To get to the Annual Passholder calendar, you’ll go to the My Disney Experience app and log into your account. Click “Make Theme Park Reservations” and then under “View Current Availability” choose “Annual Pass.” Your screen will look something like this.

Once you’re there, you can select which pass you’ll be using (the IncrediPass, Sorcerer Pass, Pirate Pass, or Pixie Dust Pass) and choose the park that you want to make your reservation for. You’ll then be able to see which dates are available for you to make a reservation.

Dates with a full green dot mean that you can make reservations at any park. A half-filled green dot means that some parks are available, and a grey crossed-out circle means there are no reservations available. If there’s a grey slash through the date, that day is blocked off for the pass you selected.

For certain days, you may also see a yellow star, which is a bonus reservation. That means you can make the park pass reservation without it counting towards your limit of pass reservations. For instance, guests with an existing gold annual pass can now make five park pass reservations. But they could make more than five reservations if the extra ones are bonus (they have the gold star by the date).

This new system will link your ticket reservations with your park passes so that you can see more easily which dates are available for you! Disney has said that the new annual pass sales will be limited, so make sure that you buy yours soon. And keep following DFB so we can let you know about more Disney news!

Been trying for 3+hrs this AM to buy Sorcerer pass as a dvc member! Total disaster all around. Unable to buy on line via my Disney Experience! Site says APs unavailable to purchase on line at this time! Another great example of Bob Chapek leadership. It’s the 15 year old accountants with their MBAs running things from Burbank! Losing faith in the magic, was even a CM but another failure!
I had no problem purchasing my DVC Sorcerer pass yesterday morning. I planned ahead and got up 5am central time and was in the queue within 15 minutes and completed the entire process in 30 minutes.
I went on line yesterday and had only a 16 minute wait. I was able to purchase 2 Sorcerer Passes, no problems.
I have been on hold for 5 hours, upgrading tickets I have already purchased for Nov. for the Incredi pass. I had been told it could be 3 hours which is outrageous but now it’s a matter of being either stupid or stubborn. They are also preaching about going on to make park reservations on line – which I am trying to change one, and that page has not been functioning all last night and today. I do feel for the people taking the calls, it’s obvious they do not have the staff to take on this transition back to the annual pass. But then again the entire country is having trouble getting employees.
Okay, I understand. However, we will still be using our previously purchased 2021 Annual Pass. How do we know which days our “old” passes will work? We just renewed our pass in the Spring.
Becky, looking at the screenshot in the post, I think you’ll click “Legacy Pass Blockout Calendar”. Try that and let me know if it works for you.
My family of 4 is hopefully heading to Disney for spring break in 2022 for a week; do you guys think it’d be worth it to get a single incredipass?
Dan, you’ll want to crunch the numbers. If discounts on merchandise, dining, and possibly a Resort stay would save you a bunch of money, it might make sense.
