Walt Disney World® Resort Annual Pass Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to the purchase and use of a Walt Disney World® Resort Annual Pass ("Pass"). By purchasing a Pass, you agree to become a Walt Disney World® Resort Annual Pass holder ("Passholder") and must comply with these terms and conditions, as well as any other applicable terms, conditions or agreements, including but not limited to, The Walt Disney Company Terms of Use (General), the My Disney Experience Terms and Conditions, the Walt Disney World® Resort Ticket Store Terms and Conditions and any applicable Monthly Payment Agreement. These Walt Disney World® Annual Pass Terms and Conditions replace and supersede any prior Walt Disney World® Resort Annual Pass Terms and Conditions you may have agreed to. In the event of any conflict between those other applicable terms and conditions and these Walt Disney World® Annual Pass Terms and Conditions, including with respect to the Pass Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver below, these Walt Disney World® Annual Pass Terms and Conditions govern. By purchasing a Pass, you are purchasing a limited license to enter Walt Disney World® Resort's theme parks. From time to time or at any given time, additional information concerning park reservations available to Passholders may be available on the Annual Passholder informational webpage at https://www.disneyworld.eu/passes/ ("Pass Detail Page"). Such terms, conditions and limitations described on the Pass Detail Page are incorporated here by reference and apply to each Passholder reservation and visit to Walt Disney World® Resort’s theme parks.

THEME PARK ADMISSION:

1. To enter a Walt Disney World® Resort theme park, each Passholder is required to have both a theme park reservation and Pass valid for admission to the same park on the same date they plan to visit. With the purchase of a Pass, Passholders become eligible to make park reservations to visit during their Pass term. Park reservations for Passholders are limited in number and subject to the availability of park reservations allocated to Passes as determined by Disney, applicable Pass blockout dates, and theme park capacity. Pass blockout dates are dates on which a Pass type is not valid for park admission and not eligible to make or hold any park reservations. Blockout dates are different for each Pass type and should be reviewed before the purchase or renewal of a Pass. A Pass does not guarantee park entry, even on dates when a Pass is not blocked out. Disney allocates daily park reservations among Passes and daily theme park tickets, and therefore makes available to those Passholders eligible to make reservations for a particular day only a portion of the total park reservation capacity. Disney determines the number of park reservations available to Passholders for any date, and Passholders may access only those reservations that Disney makes available to their Pass type. Once all park reservations made available to Passholders for any date are reserved, Passholders may not make reservations for that date using their Pass unless and until reservations become available due to cancellations or Disney makes additional reservations available to Passholders, which Disney is not required to do, but may or may not do from time to time in its discretion. On any given date, park reservations may still be available for theme park tickets even though park reservations allocated to Passes are fully reserved. Passholders, regardless of their Pass type, are not entitled to any or all reservations Disney makes available to others, including, theme park ticket purchasers, on any date, to all reservations up to park capacity on any date, or to any minimum number of reservations on any date. Even for dates that are not blocked out to a Pass type, it may be difficult or not possible for Passholders to get park reservations to visit on their preferred dates or preferred theme park, including popular dates like weekends or holiday periods. Since park reservations available to Passholders are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, it may also be difficult or not possible for Passholders to get park reservations for certain dates. Park reservations are nontransferable and are not guaranteed for any specific dates or park, no matter the Pass type. Disney reserves the right to change or cancel park reservation requirements at any time without notice or liability. Different types of Passholders and/or other ticketed guests may have different (or no) reservation requirements from time to time or at any given time. Other restrictions, such as number of park reservation holds per Pass type, time during which a Passholder may hold or make reservations and Park Hopper® and no-show rules, may apply, and may change from time to time in Disney’s discretion without notice or liability. Visit https://www.disneyworld.eu/guest-services/park-hopper/ for the latest Park Hopper® rules.
2. The number of park reservations that may be held at a time during a Disney-designated reservation booking window may depend on Pass type and is subject to availability of park reservations allocated to Passes and applicable Pass blockout dates. Once the Passholder makes the maximum number of park reservations for such period, they may not make another park reservation until they use or cancel one of the park reservations they currently hold, or the park reservation expires. Passholders may be restricted in their ability to make park reservations per applicable Pass benefit rules. Pass benefits, rules and policies, including but not limited to, the reservation booking window and any then-applicable no-show policy, may change from time to time in Disney’s discretion without notice or liability.
3. Theme park capacity or operating hours may be limited or changed from time to time due to rehabilitation, refurbishing, capacity, seasonal considerations, weather, low demand, government or other authority guidance or order, pandemic-related restrictions, guidance from health experts, special events or any other reason without liability to Disney or its affiliates. Some Pass benefits and features may not be available during periods of limited capacity and are subject to change or cancellation without notice or liability.

PASS EXPIRATION: For a new Pass purchase (not a renewal), a Pass is valid for applicable privileges for one (1) year from the date of use of the Pass for first entry into a Walt Disney World® Resort theme park. Pass privileges will not be available until such Pass is activated via park entry; provided, however, that park reservations, as available and subject to associated restrictions, may be made in anticipation of activation of a Pass so long as such Pass has not expired. A Pass will expire if it is not activated within one (1) year from the date of purchase, and upon expiration, such expired Pass may no longer be activated or have park reservations scheduled for it, and any existing park reservations for such Pass will be cancelled. No refunds will be given. The original Pass may not be transferred, and the amount paid for the original Pass may not be redeemed for cash or be used for any other purpose other than the purchase of another Pass or ticket. However, the amount paid for an unactivated, expired Pass may be applied towards the purchase of a new Pass or ticket (subject to availability) at the then current price so long as the new Pass or ticket purchase price is equal to or greater than the amount paid for the original Pass. The then current terms, conditions and benefits associated with the newly purchased Pass or ticket will apply at that time.

1. A Pass must be used by the same person on any and all park visits and benefit redemptions with the Pass. Further identification may be required.
2. Passes are not valid for private, premium or special events; activities that are separately priced; or events that require separate admission or are not open to the general public.
3. Passes are nonrefundable and are nontransferable temporary licenses that allow licensees—i.e., Passholders—to make park reservations, and, with such valid reservations, to visit Walt Disney World® Resort theme park(s) on the applicable date(s), as available to Passholders or their Pass type, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Because they are limited licenses, Passes remain the property of Disney and may be revoked at Disney's discretion. Restrictions apply as described in these terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, capacity constraints, availability of park reservations allocated to Passes as determined by Disney and closures. Passes may not be redeemed for cash or used for commercial purposes and are void if altered or misused.
4. A Passholder assumes all inherent risks associated with all rides and attractions and must obey all safety signage, instructions and rules. Disney is not responsible for lost or stolen Passes or property.
5. Parks, restaurants, attractions, entertainment, products, services, offerings and items may be modified or limited in capacity or availability; are subject to change, closure, cancellation and discontinuance without notice due to rehabilitation, refurbishing, capacity, seasonal considerations, weather, low demand, government or other authority guidance or order, pandemic-related restrictions, guidance from health experts, special events or any other reason without liability to Disney or its affiliates; and are not guaranteed. No refunds or credit given for any such changes or cancellations.
6. Entry into the Walt Disney World® Resort constitutes consent for Disney or its affiliates to use any film, video or reproduction of the image and/or voice of a Passholder for any purpose whatsoever without any payment to the Passholder. A Passholder must abide by any rules and regulations applicable to the Walt Disney World® Resort or to the use of the Passes as promulgated by Disney from time to time.
7. Disney reserves the right to cancel, suspend or revoke any Pass or deny park admission, prevent entry or require a Passholder already admitted to leave the Walt Disney World® Resort at any time for any reason, including, without limitation, if they are violating any park rules.

BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

YOU AND DISNEY EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PASS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF CLAIMS THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS SET FORTH BELOW.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND DISNEY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND DISNEY ALSO AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. YOU AND DISNEY THEREFORE AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE ACTION.

The arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the formation, interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these terms and conditions including this binding arbitration provision, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of this binding arbitration provision is void or voidable. However, if Disney believes that any claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with this agreement’s limitation on class and representative actions, then you agree that we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of the class action waiver.

In the event of a dispute, you agree to send a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth your name, address, and contact information; the facts giving rise to the dispute and relevant documents; and the relief requested to Disney at 1375 Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830, Attention: Legal Department. Disney will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information that they have for you. You and Disney agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After that sixty (60) day period and not before, you or Disney may commence an arbitration or small-claims-court proceeding.

You or Disney may assert claims in small claims court instead of in arbitration if the claims qualify. Additionally, if the claims asserted in any request or demand for arbitration could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or Disney may elect to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party of that election in writing. Any dispute about whether a claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the claim should proceed in arbitration.

If Disney and you do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-788-7879. Payment of all filing, administrative and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You are required to pay the AAA’s initial filing fee if you initiate the dispute, but Disney will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county (or parish) of residence. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and Disney will not reimburse your initial filing fee and may seek applicable fee-shifting. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone or online, will take place in Orange County, Florida; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Orange County, Florida, AAA may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. Disney and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Orange County, Florida to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. The substantive law of Florida shall apply in the arbitration proceedings.

Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Orange County, Florida, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as consent by Disney to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims or controversies unrelated to this agreement.

This agreement to binding arbitration evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, governs its interpretation and enforcement. This agreement to binding arbitration will survive its termination. If any portion of this agreement to binding arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.

This Pass Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver governs any dispute or claim relating to your Pass; to the extent there is a conflict between this Pass Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver and any dispute resolution provision of any other applicable terms, conditions or agreements, this Pass Binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver governs.

PASS TYPE AVAILABILITY: Disney may limit the quantity or terminate the sale of Passes and Pass types, and Passes or a Pass type may not be available for purchase or renewal from time to time or at any given time. Please check for Pass and Pass type availability before attempting to purchase or renew.

UPGRADES: Upgrades may be available from time to time or at no time, as determined in Disney’s discretion. The difference in prices must be paid in full at the time of the upgrade. A Guest wishing to upgrade to a Pass from another form of eligible Walt Disney World® Resort theme park admission media must upgrade on the same day in which the original form of theme park admission media is valid, and must choose a Pass of equal or greater value than the retail price of the original theme park admission media when it was purchased. If an upgrade to a Pass is made from a multi-day ticket, the Pass will be backdated to begin on the first day that such ticket was used. Each guest wishing to upgrade their theme park admission media to a Pass must be present at the time of the upgrade transaction. Fully used, or partially used and expired, theme park admission media, complimentary ticket media, special event ticket media and ticket media stating its ineligibility for an upgrade may not be upgraded to a Pass. If Disney makes available an upgrade to a Pass from a lower level Pass at any time, the new Pass will have the same expiration date as the original Pass. Upgrades are subject to Pass availability as determined by Disney. Downgrades are not allowed.

RENEWALS: The value of any separate ticket media may not be used toward the renewal of an existing Pass. A “renewal” is the purchase of another year (or specified period of the Pass if different than a year) of Pass benefits during the "renewal window" specified by Disney. Pass types may be made available for renewal in Disney's discretion. If Disney makes renewals available, Passholders may be limited in the Pass types they can renew into and the Pass types available for renewals may be different for different types of Passholders. Any renewal discounts are valid during the dates specified for such discounts, may vary depending on the Pass type and are subject to change without notice or liability. If a renewal to a Pass is made during the renewal window, but after the original Pass expired, the renewed Pass will be backdated to begin on the day after the expiration date of the original Pass.

BENEFITS/DISCOUNTS: A Passholder must present their valid Pass and valid photo identification prior to purchases or offer redemption to receive any applicable benefits, discounts or other offers. Further identification may be required. Discount amounts and benefits may be dependent on Pass type. Benefits and discounts are valid at select Walt Disney World® Resort owned and operated stores, restaurants, and locations as determined by Disney. Benefits and discounts are nontransferable, revocable, subject to exclusions, restrictions, and change or cancellation without notice or liability, and may not be combined with any other offer or promotion. Such benefits and discounts are for personal use only and may not be used for any commercial purpose or for the benefit of others, including, without limitation, to obtain or purchase items or services with the intent to resell such items or services, or to share benefits with persons who are not the Passholder. Visit https://www.disneyworld.eu/passholder-program/passholder-benefits-and-discounts/ for the latest details, restrictions and exclusions. From time to time, select third parties may also offer discounts and benefits to Passholders and such offers shall be solely the responsibility of such third parties without any liability to Disney or its affiliates. Please ask about any applicable discounts or benefits at a location prior to purchase. Benefits and discounts are determined solely by Disney or the applicable location/store owner and may change or be cancelled without notice or liability. No credit or refunds will be given on a Pass for the non-use of any portion of a Pass's benefits, discounts or other entitlements.

PARKING: The parking benefit is subject to parking availability for Passholders, as determined in Disney's discretion. The parking benefit is valid for standard parking for one (1) standard vehicle per day at select pay-on-entry lots at the Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks, as determined in Disney's discretion. Oversized vehicles, preferred parking spaces and valet services are not included in this parking benefit and will require an additional fee. Parking is not guaranteed, and is subject to capacity, availability in Disney's discretion, and applicable Pass blockout dates (i.e., a Pass is not valid for parking on a date for which such Pass is blocked out). Passholder must be in vehicle and present valid Pass at time of entry to receive the parking benefit. Further photo identification may be required. The parking benefit will expire when the Pass it is associated with expires. The parking benefit is nonrefundable, nontransferable and may not be redeemed for cash or credit.

COMMUNICATIONS: As a member of the Walt Disney World® Resort Annual Pass program, a Passholder will be eligible to receive periodic mailers and newsletters and other communications about the Walt Disney World® Resort, other Disney affiliated products and services and select unaffiliated, third party Passholder offers, including, without limitation, information about events, products, opportunities, services and special offers and discounts available to Passholders. Passholders may also be sent information about special events, products, services and offers based on their activities at the Walt Disney World® Resort (e.g., purchase transactions, etc.).
