Walt Disney World has announced updates to its Annual Pass program for the 2025-2026 season, including increased renewal discounts for select pass types. These changes come alongside a recent price increase for Annual Passes, offering passholders an opportunity to save when renewing. Let’s break down the updated renewal discounts, how they compare to previous years, and what this means for current and prospective passholders.
Annual Pass Renewal Discounts
Overview of Renewal Savings
Current and recently expired Annual Passholders can take advantage of renewal discounts of up to $250, depending on the pass type. These discounts are designed to encourage passholders to renew their passes and help offset the rising base prices of Annual Passes. Passholders can renew their passes starting 60 days before and up to 30 days after their expiration date. Renewals can be completed online, by phone, or in person at Guest Relations or ticket booths.
Key Details to Remember
- Renewing early does not affect the validity period of your current pass. The new pass will begin only after the current one expires.
- Renewal discounts vary by pass type, with some discounts increasing to match the recent price hikes, effectively keeping the renewal rates consistent with last year.
