Walt Disney World Annual Pass Prices Increase

Disney Annual Pass

Here we are again in October with another Walt Disney World Annual Pass price increase.

Effective October 6, 2026, Disney has increased prices for all four Walt Disney World Annual Pass tiers, including both new purchases and renewals. The largest increase hits the Disney Incredi Pass, which jumps $120 for both new purchases and renewals.

The Disney Sorcerer Pass, available to eligible Disney Vacation Club Members and Florida residents, increases by $40 for both new purchases and renewals.

Here is a complete look at the new Walt Disney World Annual Pass prices for 2026.

*The Disney Sorcerer Pass is available to Florida residents and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members. The Disney Pirate Pass and Disney Pixie Dust Pass are available exclusively to Florida residents.

For frequent Walt Disney World visitors, an Annual Pass can still provide substantial value through repeated theme park admission as well as discounts on dining, merchandise, and other Passholder benefits. How much value you receive ultimately depends on how often you visit and which pass you are eligible to purchase.

For Disney Vacation Club Members, the Sorcerer Pass remains one of the more significant Membership Extras available to eligible Members, although another price increase raises the cost of maintaining that benefit.



Walt Disney World Annual Pass Types

Disney World currently offers four types of Annual Passes for guests to purchase:

  1. Disney Incredi-Pass: Available to all guests, no matter where they live, the Disney Incredi-Pass offers year-round access to one or more theme parks every day with an advance park reservation.
  2. Disney Sorcerer Pass: This pass is available to DVC Members and Florida residents, offering admission to one or more theme parks on most days with an advance park reservation. There are fewer blockout dates compared to other passes.
  3. Disney Pirate Pass: The Disney Pirate Pass is another great choice for Florida residents. It allows admission to one or more theme parks on most days with an advance park reservation. Just like with other passes, there are some blockout dates to remember.
  4. Disney Pixie Dust Pass: Perfect for Florida residents who love making spontaneous trips to Disney World, this pass provides admission to one or more theme parks on most weekdays with an advance park reservation. However, there are blockout dates during peak seasons and holidays.

All these passes also come with special savings on dining, merchandise, and more. Always remember to check the official Disney World website for any restrictions and details before making your decision.


What Changed With Walt Disney World Annual Pass Prices in 2026?

Unlike last year’s increase, when a couple of renewal prices remained unchanged, every Walt Disney World Annual Pass tier received an increase this time around.

The biggest jump belongs to the Disney Incredi Pass, which increased by $120 for both new purchases and renewals. A new Incredi Pass now costs $1,749 plus tax, while renewals have climbed to $1,499 plus tax.

For Disney Vacation Club Members, the number to watch is the Sorcerer Pass. New purchases increased from $1,099 to $1,139, while renewals increased from $929 to $969. Both represent a $40 increase.

The Pirate Pass also increased by $40 for both new purchases and renewals. The smallest increase for a new pass belongs to the Pixie Dust Pass, which increased just $10 to $499, although its renewal price increased $20 to $419.

In other words, there are no holdouts this year. Every new purchase and renewal option is more expensive than it was yesterday.

The increases also continue a familiar pattern. Walt Disney World has now raised Annual Pass prices in October for several consecutive years, making these annual fall pricing adjustments something Passholders have increasingly come to expect.

For DVC Members who regularly visit Walt Disney World multiple times each year, the Sorcerer Pass can still make financial sense. But at $1,139 for a new pass and $969 for a renewal, the calculation of whether an Annual Pass is worthwhile continues to get a little more expensive.


Disney World Annual Pass Add-On Options

Walt Disney World Annual Passes also come with two add-on options that can enhance your Disney experience. These add ons remain priced at $109 plus tax.

  1. Water Park and Sports Option: For just $109 plus tax for the year, you can unlock thrilling experiences beyond the theme parks. This add-on gives you access to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Park and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, among other exciting sports and water activities.
  2. Disney PhotoPass Downloads: Disney PhotoPass service offers unlimited digital downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos and videos for an additional $109 plus tax. With this add-on, you can capture all your magical moments at Disney and have them as keepsakes forever.

Please note that the ability to purchase a DVC Disney Sorcerer Pass is considered a Disney Vacation Club “Membership Extra” and is only available for direct members with a valid membership that is eligible for Membership Extras.


Another October, Another Disney Annual Pass Price Increase

For Walt Disney World Annual Passholders, October has once again brought higher prices.

The 2026 increases range from just $10 for a new Pixie Dust Pass to $120 for the Incredi Pass, with Disney Vacation Club Members looking at a $40 increase for both new and renewed Sorcerer Passes.

As always, whether a Walt Disney World Annual Pass is worth the cost depends heavily on how often you visit, where you live, and which pass you qualify to purchase. For frequent DVC visitors, particularly those making several trips to Walt Disney World throughout the year, the Sorcerer Pass will likely continue to be an important part of that calculation.

    I think the increase may have happened earlier.
    I renewed our two Sorcerer passes back in September and the monthly payment increased by $10 ($5 per pass) Although I do have the photopass attached to one of them.

      What’s your point? You ask the same stupid question on every comment.

    I think John was just making an observation that the renewal price increase actually happened earlier than today.
