Walt Disney World has ended the $99 down payment promotion for Annual Passes that launched in March 2025. According to the official website, the down payment for Florida residents using the monthly payment option has returned to $205, and the monthly payments have been adjusted back to slightly lower rates.

Here’s the current pricing structure for Florida residents choosing the 12-month payment plan:

  • Pixie Dust Pass: $25/month after $205 down payment
  • Pirate Pass: $57/month after $205 down payment
  • Sorcerer Pass: $79/month after $205 down payment
  • Incredi-Pass: $121/month after $205 down payment

The total cost of each pass remains unchanged whether paid in full or using the monthly option.

The $99 down payment option was introduced in early March 2025

    That “it’s probably nothing” self destructive “instinct” in humans is one of the hardest to shake Have another recent story. Found out in late May (in Epcot…actually) that an old Boss of mine from years ago passed. He wasn’t a bad guy…but was a nut for no reason (filter blocked)…but that doesn’t bother me. What bothered me is he always talked about “balance” and proceeded to sit infront of the computer for 10 hours every day and nitpick details and stare at the Books…while trying to convince you it wasn’t his life. Got up at like 4 am and sent emails at 11pm almost Daily 🙄 So the cover story from his outfit was “he was semi retired”…or even better “he actually retired May 1st” The truth? Was there all day on May 21st and found at 8 at night ok slumped over onto the dining room floor by his wife and oldest daughter. 65 Knew he had some heart ailments for two years prior at least. Never thought for a second he wouldn’t “die at the desk”…which only didn’t happen on a technicality. Long story? Never be that guy. Actually lead a balanced life. Pay YOURSELF forward.

    Sorry to hear @Vegas Disney Fan. And I appreciate your perspectives too @Sirwalterraleigh and @Tony the Tigger. We were touching base with our financial advisor/retirement consultant and they stopped us midsentence and said, “Take. The. Trip.” Her children are now graduating high school, and they’ve suddenly realized that their time as a cohesive family is about over (college spring breaks don’t necessarily align across the board or with high schools). I also suspect this comes from having multiple clients that amassed wealth or delayed gratification for Golden Years which never came. No day is promised to us, and everything seems to become more unsettling and uncertain than the day before it. I’ve thankfully escaped any major personal health issues but have friends and loved ones of friends that were not as lucky. Beliefs and promises of growing old together that just went away due to sudden death, prolonged health issues, divorce, or loss of a child. Two years ago one of the mom’s of my son’s friends finally relented and went to see a doctor over spring break (mid March) for some bowel distress she had been experiencing. She made it until early June. Take. The. Trip.

    There are reasons why its inexpensive (in comparison to a lot of other places) to live in that county.

    My old job required weekly visits, twice a week, to Chiefland. Needless to say I do NOT miss that

    And that’s OK, too. Make payments on whatever you need to make payments on. Is it ideal? No. But then there’s reality.

    To me it's fine because it's similar to paying for a monthly gym pass. It's something you're using regularly. It's different than taking a one off vacation or buying a new TV you don't need, and then making payments for months afterward.

    I can relate to this post.

    I’m in your boat…as I’ve said a few times over the past year Sorry to hear about the cancer and ALS…just brutal It’s not that we won’t have many, many more years…it’s that not everyone we know will…and people change as time goes on and you want to capture the things you enjoy about them as much as you can when you can 👍🏻

    I still wouldn’t go into debt for a vacation but my “balance” of enjoying life now vs saving for retirement has drastically changed over the last couple years due to some of my own health issues, a friend passing to cancer, and another being diagnosed with ALS. I don’t know which is worse… living so long you run out of money or not living long enough to spend your retirement savings. I’m relatively young at 51, and fortunately should survive a couple more decades even with my health issues, but the idea we’ll all live to see 80 or more now feels very naive. I give everyone the same advice now, go enjoy life while you can, but do it responsibly so you don’t regret it later, the way we’re living now we won’t have a lavish retirement but we’ll have a roof over our heads and food on the table and that’s good enough. We planned to travel the world after we retired, we’re just doing it 15 years earlier than expected in case we’re not healthy enough to do it later.

    For sure. I was just responding to the person who was saying if you cant afford or dont have the money in savings... I'm simply stating it could be people are just being smart with their money.

    I can be very cheap, but I will splurge when it’s worth it, regardless of consequences. (I don’t consider paying interest to be a major consequence.) Life is short and I’m old(er.) 😆 The reality is I typically get my AP’s free with Chase Disney Visa points. I’m sure I’ve paid some interest at times earning those points. It all works out. But I wouldn’t bother or shame anyone for putting their trip on a cc. Some here IMO really overreact to that.

    Maybe $30-$40, But what if you were buying passes for 4 or 5 people.... I know it's not much but it adds up. Hell, I wont pass up a penny on the ground and but see people who drop quarters and don't want to be bothers to pick them up. Edit to add Like @Sirwalterraleigh said, if someone is offering you to use their money for free, take it!

    Sirwalterraleigh18 days ago

    I think the point is that paying for an annual pass with no interest over 12 months…as long as you MAKE the payments…isn’t the reckless riverboat style gambling it’s sometimes portrayed as…

    Well there's always Levy County...you can rent a single wide for around a thousand a month in Chiefland.
