Disney Annual Pass and
Florida Resident Tickets

Disney Annual Passes offer you significant savings on theme park tickets if you visit Disney often enough in a calendar year.

There are three different types of Disney Annual Pass. There is the regular Annual Pass, the Premium Annual Pass, and the Florida Resident Annual and Seasonal Passes.


Read through the description of each to determine which, if any, is the best for you.

Note: These passes are not cheap (but then again neither is any Disney ticket!). Be sure that you will get your money’s worth before actually purchasing an Annual Pass.




Types of Disney Annual Passes

Disney Annual Pass

A Disney Annual Pass gives you 365 days of unlimited admission, with no black-out dates, to the four major Disney theme parks in Orlando, as well as complimentary parking. You can visit the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom parks as many times as you wish for a full 365 days from the day you first activate your pass (which is not necessarily the day you purchase it).

An Annual Pass also has the Park Hopper feature built right into it. You can visit multiple parks in any given day. This provides great flexibility for maximizing your Disney vacation time.

Premium Annual Pass

The Premium Annual Pass gives you all of the benefits of the regular Annual Pass with the addition of admission to the Disney Quest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, Pleasure Island and both Disney Water Parks - Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

Florida Resident Seasonal Pass

This is a seasonal pass available only to Florida residents. It allows for year-long admission to all four major Walt Disney World Theme Parks, including the Park Hopping feature.

Note that black-out dates may apply.

Passholders are also eligible for special discounts and offers not available to the general public.

**In addition, Florida Residents can also purchase the following types of Annual Passes:

Epcot After 4 pm Annual Pass

Entitles Florida residents to unlimited regular admission after 4 pm to Epcot. Special events that require separate admission are excluded. Proof of Florida Residency is required upon admission.

Water Park After 2 pm Annual Pass

Entitles Florida residents to year-round admission to both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach after 2 pm.

Florida Resident Annual Pass

Entitles guests to unlimited admission to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom , as well as complimentary parking. This is essentially a regular Disney Annual Pass available to Florida residents at a discounted rate.

Florida Resident 3-Day-Play Pass Ticket

The 3-Day-Play Pass Ticket gives you 3 days worth of admission to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom. These tickets expire 180 days from the first time you use them. If you want, you can any of the Magic Your Way options to this 3-day pass, such as Park Hopping, Water Parks Fun and More, or No Expiration.
