NEW: Walt Disney World is pausing new sales of some of its annual passes. The Pirate, Sorcerer and Incredi-Pass are no longer being sold. The Pixie Dust (FL residents) is the only pass available for new purchases. This does not impact renewals - only new purchases.

Not really a surprise. They still have issues with park passes and the APs don't make that any easier.

Wow! Why do you think that is? I can't imagine.

It’s because they are out of park passes for those passes for the rest of this year

Disney turn down money? Seems unlikely.

Maybe they are resetting the prices for a Black Friday special.

I do feel badly for those who intended to upgrade their passes to APs once they arrived.

What a mess this is going to be for me. I have 3 seperate trips planned this year as new DVC members. Of course I was counting on APs. should have rushed to buy them as soon as they went on sale. I literally tried to kick my self in the a** but I’m too fat to reach! Now it seems I’m - - - - out of luck!

Maybe they are just trying to get through the holidays. Pixie Dust Pass - that you can still buy has lots of block out dates through the end of year - says a lot that they aren’t worried about that one and still selling.

Might want to explore this -

Seriously this is insane. Restart the passes then stop them again? Maybe they are planning to raise the prices again!

It's also odd for Disney to make a Sunday night announcement. I think it has to do with the holidays crowds and park availability.

Who’s ready for the Black Friday price hike! It’s time for regular tickets to get a hike anyway.

When they announced APs were going on sale they did say they were limited and may not always be available to buy.

I don’t think many of us believed them …

I think it was Sunday night to avoid any black eyes on D23 weekend.

You are 100% right! I should have listened. Only have my self to blame.

They probably decided since they were so popular that they were too cheap. Probably paused sales to figure out the right price point.

Yup. My mom is there now and just upgraded hers. My daughter and I were going to upgrade after we arrive on Thursday. This is such a bummer.

Yes …. most the passes are FL, with one open to DVC.

It makes it really hard to plan when they keep changing the rules. We just planned our next trip within our annual pass dates in case they block renewals.
