The good news is that Walt Disney World will be offering Annual Passes again starting on September 8, 2021.

The bad news is that it seems like the much despised Reservation system remains in place… at least for now.

Disney will be offering four tiers of passes beginning next week, each with a a different name than before, and each with its own custom logo.

The tiers are Pixie Dust, Pirate, Sorcerer and Incredi-Pass. Florida residents only can purchase the Pixie Dust and Pirate passes, while the Sorcerer Pass is available to Florida residents and Disney Vacation Club members only. Payment plans are still open to Florida residents.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, “Parkhopping will still be allowed, and it will follow the current procedure where passholders move to a second park after 2 p.m. unless capacity has been reached. The first park of the day still requires a reservation, and that park must be visited before hopping to another one.”

What each AP tier includes is listed below…
