    Heather from FL Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Our passes expire on 5/9/25. I've upgraded in order to have fewer blackout dates. Am I able to use the new pass now?

    Hey there! Hi there, Heather! Oh, the joy of living in Florida! In addition to the year-round sunshine and proximity to the Most Magical Place on Earth, you also have the most options in Annual Passes for Walt Disney World Resort

    With your Annual Pass expiring so soon, I am guessing you renewed your pass and took advantage of the special benefits available for renewals. If this is the case, the new pass will not kick in until the current pass expires. If you have a Pirate Pass currently and decided a Sorcerer Pass is the way to go for your upcoming year, the blackout dates for the weeks surrounding Easter would still be restricted. The new blackout dates would apply for visits starting with the new pass.

    If you want the benefits of the upgraded pass immediately, you can upgrade your current pass. You would just pay the difference between your current pass and the upgraded option. If you want to do this, you should see the option to upgrade your current pass on the web or the My Disney Experience app, or you can call the V.I.Passholder line for assistance. With this, you could go walking down the middle of Main Street, USA this week.

    Heather, I hope this information helps. I also hope you enjoy another magical year as part of the Passholder family. I did it once to "try it out," and I have had one for the past nine years. It has changed how I vacationed at Disney and brought me so much joy. 

    If you have any other questions, please stop back by planDisney. We may not always have the answer you hope to hear, but we will work to get you the information you need.

    Thinking of the Happiest Things!
