Not only is the system itself kinda confusing if you’re not expecting it, but it changes a LOT. We last saw a change to the system in November, but now if you’re an Annual Passholder in Disney World, we’ve got some big news for you, because the system is changing AGAIN!

But we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when looking at next week because it’s starting to already seem a lot different.
So you are or want to become a Disney World Annual Passholder — well, you’ve got a LOT to learn.

Annual Pass
After a long hiatus, Disney World is selling annual passes once again starting April 20th, and if you’re trying to decide if you should get one, we’re here to help you weigh the pros and cons. Yes, they’re definitely expensive…but there’s one Disney World annual pass secret that nobody seems to talk about!
Things are VERY busy in Disney World right now — a LOT is going on in the parks.
Cinderella Castle
A lot of that activity is happening in Magic Kingdom, where TRON Lightcycle / Run just opened and the Happily Ever After fireworks have returned! But Spring Break has also brought a TON of people to Disney World (the crowds and wait times are no joke). It’s no wonder that we’re seeing Genie+ at its highest price ever, but also selling out VERY early in the day for multiple days. So will that be the case next week?
If you love Disney as much as we do, you’ll want to mark your calendars for April 20th.
Annual Pass
Why? Well, for the first time in FOREVER (cue Frozen soundtrack) Disney will be selling NEW Annual Passes for all tiers! Almost all Annual Pass sales have been paused since 2021. Not only will new Annual Passes be available on April 20th, but current Passholders will be able to renew and upgrade their passes outside of their usual renewal window.
In case you missed the news, Disney World is about to start selling annual passes again!
NEW AP card
Sales have been paused for most pass tiers for quite some time now, but on April 20th, all four pass types will be available to purchase online again. Disney has warned that there are limited quantities, but we already know what the pricing will look like, so you’ve got a little bit of time to plan for that purchase. However, with all this news, there’s one rule we think we should discuss!
Okay, we KNOW y’all love your popcorn buckets, and Disney World is constantly releasing fun new ones.

We will never forget how NUTS everyone went over the Figment Popcorn Bucket. We just recently discovered a new 100th anniversary popcorn bucket. Also, how gorgeous was that Rainbow Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket? But one popcorn bucket at Disney World is JUST for select visitors — and Disney World has extended just how long you can get it.
