Walt Disney World has introduced a new offer for Florida residents, reducing the required down payment for Annual Passes to just $99. This change makes it more accessible for Florida residents to enjoy the benefits of being an Annual Passholder. Here’s a breakdown of the offer and what it means for those considering an Annual Pass.
Details of the New Down Payment Offer
Reduced Down Payment
The required down payment for Florida residents has been lowered from $205 to $99. This represents a more than 50% reduction, making it easier for residents to start their Annual Passholder journey.
Monthly Payment Options
After the $99 down payment, Florida residents can pay for their Annual Pass in 12 monthly installments with 0% APR. Monthly payments vary depending on the pass type:
Incredi-Pass
$137 per month
Sorcerer
$90 per month
Pirate
$69 per month
Pixie
$36 per month
Total Cost Remains Unchanged
While the down payment has been reduced, the total cost of the Annual Pass remains the same. This means that monthly payments will be slightly higher to account for the lower initial payment.
| Annual Pass (Total Price) |
Previous Down Payment | Previous Monthly Payment | Updated Down Payment* | Updated Monthly Payment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pixie Dust Pass ($489) | $205 | $27 | $99 | $36 |
| Disney Pirate Pass ($869) | $205 | $61 | $99 | $69 |

Eligibility and Pass Options
This offer is available exclusively to Florida residents. All four Annual Pass types are eligible for the reduced down payment:

Important Considerations
- No End Date Announced: Disney has not specified an end date for this offer, but it could be discontinued at any time. A similar offer in 2025 was available for three months.
- Payment Flexibility: The reduced down payment provides more flexibility for those who prefer to spread out the cost of their Annual Pass over time.
