food IS a theme park
There’s a DARK history laced throughout the timeline of Disney’s Annual Passes.
Annual Passholder Items
It’s a history that involves lawsuits, revenue loss, and a BIG question for future guests: WILL Annual Passes return for EVERYONE again? Or are they going away forever?
Is there really such a thing as going to Disney World TOO much?
EPCOT
You may have guessed our answer based on what we do for a living, but we don’t think so! However, if you’re trying to hit up the parks frequently these days, one big obstacle may stand in your way- the Disney Park Pass reservation system. The system has its own set of rules and limitations, and it can be frustrating to use sometimes. However, if you’re hoping to visit this weekend, making park passes just got easier for one select group!
If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, you might have collected some special AP merchandise over the years!

Not long ago, Disney released a sparkly Annual Passholder magnet starring Mickey and Minnie, and now there’s a chance to get a NEW Annual Passholder magnet — with this one featuring none other than Orange Bird!

Calling ALL Annual Passholders: pull out those calendars! It’s time to mark down some important dates!

Annual Passholders are able to get some special perks in Disney World — from discounts on hotels, meals, and special events, to exclusive merchandise, and more. They also sometimes get FREE Annual Passholder magnets with some pretty fun designs. And now we’ve got an exciting update about a NEW Annual Passholder magnet coming to Disney World!
UPDATE: After just a few minutes on the site, Annual Passes have been removed once again. The short-lived situation was likely a glitch of sorts. Therefore, all passes except for the Pixie Pass remain unavailable at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and will let you know if they resume sales again.
🚨 This is NOT a drill! 🚨

The situation with Disney World’s Annual Passholder Program has changed in a number of ways over the past few months. Back in September of 2021, 4 new passes were introduced — the Incredi-Pass, Sorcerer Pass, Pirate Pass, and Pixie Dust Pass. As of November of 2021, however, sales for the Pirate, Sorcerer, and Incredi-Pass were PAUSED, leaving those who wanted to buy a new Annual Pass with nowhere to turn. But now, things are CHANGING!
When the Annual Pass was first introduced in the 1980s, Walt Disney World was changed forever. But, the changes didn’t stop there.

Over the past four decades, the Disney World Annual Pass has gone through a significant evolution, which has drawn criticism from many Disney guests. Others have praised the Annual Pass throughout its existence, renewing theirs year after year. More recently, Disney World reintroduced Annual Pass sales after pausing them due to the pandemic-related closures, but then once again halted those sales for every pass tier but one. So, just how has the Walt Disney World Annual Pass transformed through the years, and how is Disney World different because of it?
It’s hard keeping up with everything happening in Disney World!

Disney World Annual Passholders are some of the most dedicated theme park fans out there!
Magic Kingdom
These fans (which also includes some of us here at DFB!) are willing to shell out hundreds or thousands each year to visit the magic, and they’re often the ones who show up for big restaurant and ride openings, merchandise drops, and special events. But recently, former Annual Passholders and wannabe Passholders have been facing a big issue — most passes aren’t on sale currently!
