Disney announces new "Premier Passport"

For a few weeks, there has been a rumor circulating that Disney was considering offering a new annual pass for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Upon hearing this rumor, many fans said "finally!"

Well today, Disney made it official. The new "Premier Passport" will be a combination of Walt Disney World's and Disneyland's Premier Annual Passes. The cost for this super pass is $700 a year.

Benefits for Passport holders at Walt Disney World:

• Unlimited admission for a period of one year to all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks, including park hopping privileges
  
• Unlimited admission to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks
  
• Unlimited admission to DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex (valid only on event days; some events require an additional admission charge) and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course (greens fee only. Tee time reservations are required and subject to availability)
  
• Parking at all four Theme Parks
  
• Subscription to Mickey Monitor, a collectible Passholder-only publication

Benefits for Passport holders at Disneyland Resort:

• Unlimited admission to both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure
  Parks for a period of one year, including park hopping privileges

Guests who already have a Premium Annual Pass for both Resorts, will automatically be issued a “Disney Premier Passport” – with an expiration date based on the later of the two annual passes. Guests may also upgrade an annual or seasonal pass for one resort to a “Disney Premier Passport” for an additional fee.
