News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

[LuvtheGoof]

I paid $876.50 (tax included). Renewal.

That is the renewal amount, not for a new one.

I paid $876.50 (tax included). Renewal.

I think that’s going up

$969 plus now? So like $1035ish?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Not seeing prices anywhere. I also see that PhotoPass is once again included but it seems to be PhotoPass light (only ride photos). Any clarification as to whether or not this includes things like Meeting Mickey at Town Square?

On the Annual Pass website that was linked in the DVC Members email, they still show Photopass as a $99 add-on.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Supposedly they finally will be able to but it may be after switching to the proper DVC Sorcerer Pass.

That would be great. No more waiting on hold to renew!

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Really? That's your response? You can't be considerate enough on a Disney fan forum to simply avoid such language that some people may find quite offensive?

Yes…that’s my response. I probably didn’t even realize what I put as the news was breaking…but it didn’t trigger a filter.

But I don’t want to annoy you or anyone. So you can report and/or ignore me. That’s your right.

In the blip it said “certain benefits”

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Not completely true. You did have to renew via MS, but you don't have to go to GS at all. The passes activate immediately in your MDE app. We just did this a few months ago and it worked flawlessly.

Good to know! Ours are coming up for renewal next month so that will save us some time on our next trip.

I’m going to buy a new annual pas just so I can see you again!

Can I come, boo boo?

It recently was raised (renewal) so I don't think so. It used to be $764 ($813 with tax) with an $899 new (Plus tax)

 

[Joe]

Sure, we can talk ‘Burgh stuff. I’ll bring a Primanti’s sandwich.

To get your new card you have to go to Guest Services... Yellow D

Haha!, I knew you were waiting for this announcement, glad you'll be able to visit the parks again.

Oh, and the price for a *new* Sorcerer AP is $969 + tax.

I suspect it would be on ride photos only which is kind of lousy.

There is no card needed. You just load it into your wallet now.

That's all we use it for. Would be nice if they refund those of us who paid. Drrr...

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Yeah, it was lousy when they took it away in the first place, made even more insulting when DLR got it included with G+ while WDW's G+ came with . . . uh, audio clips or something? Jacking up the price AND removing a benefit at the same time was low. Adding it back should have been a no-brainer. Bob missed a chance to earn a little goodwill back for very little cost considering we all know that these passes will have only a limited number available.

Some of us (like 80% of phone users) dont use fruit phones or their ecosystems.

…dude…don’t get me started on Ron hextall

 

[MrPromey]

So, since I usually go to WDW at least twice a year, the cost of day-ticket for two 7-day trips including hopper is now as much as the Incredipass.

Sometimes I make those trips 9 days. With an AP, that's four free days!!

And if I go a third week, it's all free!!!

I can't afford *not* to buy an AP!!!!

... and renew in perpetuity because you may never get the chance to buy a new one ever, ever, ever again.

That seems to be the impression they're looking to make, anyway.
