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

[wdwmagic]

and THAT'S why we kept trying today!

Yes this was always the danger and was a very likely outcome. Bets on which pass will sell out first? I'm going to go for Pirate Pass.

 

[Diznyfan]

Agreed, if any of the passes were to sell out first, I'd bet it on the Pirate Pass.

I second Pirate given it's value.

 

[Ayla]

Any of the passes that people don't have to pay in full for (while taking advantage of all the benefits) will sell out.

It was going to be around 4am est Friday for us in the online queue, so we called. Got a person in about 45 mins. Long story short, we booked a hotel right after and decided to take a trip starting tonight...lol

Definitely the pirate pass.

I got on the online queue at 7 am and purchased the incredible passes at 2:10 pm. (Used my cell phone thank god so I could just keep checking it)

Is this a online only sale? What would happen if someone went to a ticketing location, they aren't allowed to sell you it to skip the queue?

You can purchase them at Disney Springs it seems-

Ticketing is very prepared for queues at Disney Springs, complete with virtual and physical queue.

I spoke with someone earlier who went to Guest Services at MK to buy there’s. No problem at all.

Intriguing, could it be based off when one was called.

How are you getting past the queue? I purchased a pass an hour or two ago and the queue appears again when I try to view the page.

 

[Squishy]

Apparently phone reps are also able to purchase the passes for you once you get through the phone queue which is shorter than the online one.

As what was happening to @wdwmagic earlier, whenever I click on the link it just takes me to the purchase page.

There are definitely some cases where the session can just bypass the queue and go straight to the order screen.

So could someone tell me if this is accurate, I just got off the phone with a cast member as I was wanting to upgrade my seven-day pass to an incredipass and she informed me that they are only selling "live" passes? So the expiration date would start today not on the first day of use. Does that sound right? I ended up not buying because of that, but I have not seen that reported anywhere up until the phone call I just had.

 

[Fido Chuckwagon]

Being reported on Disboards that there is a recording when you call now that says the incredipass is sold out.
