Do Annual Passholders Need a Park Pass Reservation?
Yes. Annual Passholders do need a Park Pass Reservation. Starting in 2024, Annual Passholders and Cast Members Good To Go Days Will Not Require Park Pass Reservations. But, other days will.
In 2024, we plan to offer select days on which our Annual Passholders* and Disney cast members may visit Walt Disney World theme parks without needing a park reservation. Once introduced, we will roll out these good-to-go days on an ongoing basis. This will be in addition to the recent update which offers Passholders the opportunity to visit the theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park. Good-to-go days may vary by park, and pass block out dates and capacity limitations continue to apply like they do today. Please stay tuned for more details on good-to-go days.
Even as a Disney Passholder there are OTHER Costs to a Vacation

What Do You Get as a Disney Season Passholder?
Check out all the Perks of being a Disney Annual Passholder so that you can make the best decision for your family.
Walt Disney World Resort Specials
One of the best parts of being an annual pass holder at Disney is that you do get access to discounts off Disney Resort rooms sometimes throughout the year. So, if you were a family that was used to staying off-site because it was cheaper, you may actually find comparable rates on-site with the passholder discount. Mind you, these aren’t dirt cheap rates and since these are sales, they run for a limited time and with some rules attached. But 25% off a room every now and then really helps. These discounts, however, are sporadic and shouldn’t really be configured in your cost analysis. Mainly because the discounts aren’t guaranteed, and could easily happen outside of your vacation dates.
Walt Disney World Annual Pass Discounts and Perks

What Don’t You Get as a Disney Season Passholder?
One of the cons of a Disney Annual Pass is that when you’re using your annual pass in lieu of purchasing separate tickets, you will lose out on other specials that Walt Disney World offers like Disney free dining and Magic Your Way Packages. Sometimes the Magic Your Way Package could reap a deeper discounted vacation than having the pass, so these cons are worth looking at ahead of time. The same goes for Free Dining Offers. If you live for the free dining deals and depend on it to feed your family on vacation, a minimum 4-day ticket and 3 nights is required at a Disney resort to earn the dining promotion. That said, you would actually have to buy that 4 day/3 night package at the regular Magic Your Package prices in order to get the free dining. Having the pass, in this case, may be redundant.
How to Decide if a Disney Annual Pass is Right for your family?
These are all things to consider when deciding whether or not to purchase a Walt Disney World annual pass. It can be an investment. Only taking a week long trip won’t justify purchasing an annual pass. Especially if you’re buying for more than one person. One thing we have seen some families do is just purchase an annual pass for one person in their family, so they can take advantage of the discount perks without the extra cost of buying a pass for every person in their family. This may or may not be an option for you, but is definitely worth considering!
And What We Love About Having a Disney Season Pass



Do not buy an Annual Pass during Covid. They limit you to three Park bookings . That’s it. It’s nearly impossible to make dining reservations to match up with your park selection. I have reservations on days that I can’t get into a park. You are more important to them if you buy a straight ticket, there you can book anything. I am an annual pass holder and a DVC member, and they don’t care. It’s crazy.

Hey Brenda- these are per person prices. For 3 people, you would need 3 annual passes. Either paying the pass cost in full for each of you or the down payment and monthly fee for each for you.
