I think we will hear about the AP plans (or whatever they call it) by the end of September and I agree, they will not start up until after Jan. 1.
But the last thing Disney wants are near-empty parks come early January and they are going to desperately need former APs back. I would think they want to give a “heads up” to them well in advance so sales can start maybe by December. Just the rumors will keep a lot of locals from buying daily tickets much beyond Jan. 1, which again not good for Disney.
I also think the special California Resident tickets are very telling on how they are not hitting the mark with attendance, and with every other themepark in the area having annual passes back Disney needs to step up quickly.
I tend to agree. Halloween was a busy time for the park because locals love Halloween but I’m not sure it really attracts tourists the way summer does. There aren’t going to be many international tourists this holiday season either.
I think they will release new annual passes around the time they would have normally unblocked annual passes after the peak summer season.
People act like Annual Passes were killing Disney financially but that was never really the case.
We were at WDW last week. Went to guest services in MK, Epcot, and HS to ask this very question and they said there are currently no annual passes for sale (and we are FL residents to boot) and they have no idea if/when APs are coming back. We moved here recently and one of the reasons was to be able to go WDW without needing to fly. This really sucks and is very disappointing.
Yeah this isn’t true. I went up there cash in hand trying to buy platinum passes and I was told they are not selling them and they have no clue when they’ll start again. My best guess is sometime this month (August), maybe towards the end of it.

There are annual passes but you have to go to guest services at either disney springs or Magic kingdom there are not renewing online
Jessie
Is this actually true? Because I will fly down to Disney World and get one.

I believe this is only if you had an annual pass that expired in the last year. Ours expired in June of 19 and they won’t let me buy new ones.

I wish Disney luck. Pricing out the ex AP’s (call it like it is, legacy passholder means nothing) is bad business.
