When to buy Annual Pass?

[sagosto]

My annual pass expired 1/23/2026 but I have multiple visits scheduled for 2026 (June/Sept/Nov) and late March 2027. I was planning to buy the Annual Pass now so I could use it for the remaining trips in 2026 and 2027. What is the consensus with Josh taking over with regards to AP pricing? It is a gamble to wait as pricing could increase and/or I am unable to get a park reservation when I eventually get the AP. I don't need tickets for dining so that's not a concern.
