It’s now official, you can make payments on almost anything, including an annual park pass for most Disney World parks in Orlando, Florida.  However, it’s not for everyone.  According to Disney’s official blog, only Florida residents can take advantage of the payment plan for the annual passes.  Now not only do the Florida residents get a discounted rate on their passes, but they also get the opportunity to spread the cost of an annual park pass out over 12 months.

It is simple to start, you must purchase the passes online and there is no extra fees involved with the installment plan.  The current rates for unlimited access to Disney parks costs $393 for an adult Florida resident and $346 for a child 3 to 9 years old.  I know the rates seem high, but keep in mind, it’s for a 12 month unlimited pass.  Your installment plan will require a down payment which is currently equal to the same-day, single-park ticket (for a non-resident).  Which is currently $84 for adults and $72 for children.  You can see the payment plan lined out on their web site.
