Florida Resident Annual Passes: Year-Round Magic

For 2025, Florida residents have access to two specially priced Annual Pass options that are offered only to Florida residents:

Disney Pixie Dust Pass

• Price: $469 plus tax
• Monthly option: $25/month after $205 down payment (0% APR)
• Perfect for weekday visits
• Includes:
  • Most weekday park access (blockout dates apply)
  • Up to 3 park reservations at once
  • Standard parking
  • Dining and merchandise discounts

Disney Pirate Pass

• Greater flexibility with:
  • Access most days of the year
  • Up to 4 park reservations at once

  • Enhanced dining and merchandise discounts

Floridians can also purchase broader annual pass offerings such as the Sorcerer Pass (open to Florida residents and Disney Vacation Club Members) and the Incredi-Pass (open to all).

Additionally, while not exclusive to Florida residents, the Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass is an excellent option that may appeal to locals:

Disney Water Park Seasonal Pass

• Price: $79 plus tax
• Valid through May 23, 2025 (blockout dates: April 12–20, 2025)
• Includes:
  • Unlimited visits to Disney’s Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon (whichever is open)

This pass offers an affordable way to enjoy Disney’s water parks, making it a great option for those living nearby who want regular access to watery fun.

New Annual Passes can now be purchased at any theme park ticket booth or Guest Relations (Disney World customer service) location, or you can set up your monthly payment program at disneyworld.com/payments.

[In the past, other special passes were offered to Florida residents, such as an EPCOT After 4PM pass for evening hours, and a Weekday Select pass that provides savings in exchange for blocking weekend admission.  Those sales are currently suspended and it’s unclear if they will resume. Your Disney travel agent know about all the latest discounts news and can advise of any new pass deals that might become available.]
