Disney World’s 2025 Annual Pass Rules Favor Locals, Leave Tourists Paying Top Dollar

Florida-only tiers, coupled with payment plans, leave nonresidents with the high-priced Incredi‑Pass.

Overview

  • Disney sells four Annual Pass tiers—Incredi‑Pass, Sorcerer, Pirate, and Pixie Dust—but only Florida residents can buy the lower-cost options.
  • Out-of-state guests are limited to the Incredi‑Pass, reported at over $1,500 before tax, which is the most expensive tier.
  • Monthly payment plans are available to Florida residents, while nonresidents must pay the full cost upfront.
  • All tiers include park entry, the ability to make reservations, and select discounts on dining, merchandise, and hotels, though perks have limits.
  • Analyses say the passes tend to be cost-effective for nearby frequent visitors but are hard to justify for many tourists and families paying adult-level prices for kids.
