Rendering of EPCOT's continued transformation.

Beginning April 20, guests who love Walt Disney World will now be able to once again purchase the Disney Incredi-Pass, Disney Sorcerer Pass and Disney Pirate Pass, which are all annual passes that offer differing benefits at the park.

With the new opportunity to purchase annual passes come some changes in benefits, too. Annual Passholders can now enjoy select Disney PhotoPass benefits, and beginning on April 18 can visit the parks after 2:00 p.m. without a park reservation (except for Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom). Pass blackout dates still apply. Every pass includes standard parking as well as dining and merchandise discounts.

The Disney Pirate Pass is available for Florida residents only and offers the ability to visit the parks on most days, except during peak times and holidays, without a prior reservation. The pass also allows holders to enjoy reserving up to 4 days of theme park reservations, among other benefits.

Disney Vacation Club members can enjoy purchasing the Disney Sorcerer Pass, which includes reservation-free access to the parks on most days, except on holidays, up to 5 days of reserved park time and more.

Lastly, the Disney Incredi-Pass is available for everything and offers no blackout dates for annual passholders. Holders of this pass can also enjoy up to 5 days of reserved park time.

Updates on Passholder membership and benefits are available for current Annual Passholders on the My Disney Experience app’s The Passholder Buzz feature.
