Walt Disney World has announced the revival of its annual pass program, which was previously discontinued. Individuals can buy new passes beginning April 20th. However, the number of available passes will be limited. Currently, only residents of Florida are eligible to purchase new passes, whereas out-of-state park visitors can only renew their existing passes.
Announcing the same on their blog, the company announced:
"We are so grateful for our Passholders who have a deep, strong connection to Walt Disney World, and we are looking forward to welcoming more of you to the Annual Passholder family."
Furthermore, visitors will now be able to purchase the passes online as well, and there will be no need to visit the parks to purchase the pass. While the sale of passes online will begin on April 20, 2023, eligible Vacation Club members can get their DVC Dorcerer pass from April 13, 2023.
These passes allow the user some great benefits like the Select Disney PhotoPass benefits, visiting the theme park after 2 PM, no reservations, and even massive discounts on food, beverages, and merchandise.
