Disney World Annual Pass Tiers & blockout Date Overview

Walt Disney World currently offers four annual pass options for Florida residents and visitors. Each tier has a different blockout date schedule, with more affordable passes carrying more restrictions.

• Disney Sorcerer Pass — Minimal blockout dates, primarily limited to the two busiest weeks of the year: Christmas through New Year's and a few peak spring break days. Florida residents only.
• Disney Pirate Pass — Moderate blockout dates including holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's), spring break, and select peak summer dates. Florida residents only.
• Disney Pixie Dust Pass — The most restrictive pass tier with the most blockout dates, covering most of summer, all major holidays, and many weekend days. Florida residents only.
