The Disneyland Signature Plus Annual Passport (AP) is one of the newest Disneyland season passes.
This AP offers year-round access to the resort and is the natural successor and replacement for the extinct Premium AP.
Let’s look at what this pass offers.

Benefits
How Many Days Per Year Can You Visit The Resort?
Unlike the similar Signature AP, the Signature Plus AP allows you entry 365 days per year.
When Is This Passport Blocked Out?
Signature Plus AP’s can visit the Disneyland Resort every day of the year, without exception.
How Many Visits Do You Need To Break-Even On The Pass?
You’ll pass the break-even point for the Signature Plus pass on your 15th day at the resort.
When you’re planning your vacation goals, the number of times you’ll visit the Disneyland Resort can guide you to the correct Annual Passport. Below is an example of when it would be cheaper to skip the AP and buy regular tickets.
Ticket or AP | Cost | Difference |
---|---|---|
Signature Plus AP | $1,049 | – |
(3) 5-Day Park Hopper Tickets * | $1,050 | $1 |
These examples don’t include any cost savings you’d get from your AP discount, which is 15 – 20% at most restaurants and shops in the parks.
If you plan to visit the Disneyland Resort more than 14 days and/or take multiple smaller trips spaced throughout the entire year, it makes sense to buy a Signature Plus Annual Passport.

Price History Of Disneyland Signature Plus Annual Passport
Since it is brand new, there really isn’t any price history for this pass.
I’ve included a chart below, comparing the current Signature Plus AP price against the cost of a Disneyland 5-Day Park Hopper (PH) ticket for reference.
Date | Signature Plus AP | 5-Day Park Hopper Ticket | Days To Break-Even |

October 2015 | $1,049 | $315 | 16 |
Fenruary 2017 | $1,049 | $350 | 15 |
The price for all Disneyland AP’s has steadily increased since they first debuted in the 1980’s. For a more detailed discussion on Disney AP pricing strategy, visit my post ‘5 Reasons Disneyland Doesn’t Want More Annual Passholders‘.
Is The Signature Plus Annual Passport For You?
The Signature Plus AP is a year-round pass that includes parking and is the true successor to the now extinct Premium AP. The only difference between the ‘Plus’ and regular Signature AP are the blockout days for the two weeks around Christmas.
If you want to flexibility the Premium pass offered and don’t need those 15 days, stick with the cheaper Signature. Otherwise, the Signature Plus is the AP for you.
As with every passport, the Signature Plus AP is especially useful if you can make use of the available weekdays, when most people are at work and park crowd levels are at their lowest. Turn your visit into a multi-day mini-vacation and take advantage of all the benefits this passport has to offer.
If you’re still wondering whether this pass is the right choice for you and your family, visit our Disneyland AP Comparison Page, where you’ll find an easy guide to see if the Southern California Select, Southern California, Deluxe, Signature, or Disney Premier AP’s might be a better fit for your style and budget.

Do any of the annual passes include access to Mickeys Halloween party??
Sorry Gabby, but that’s an extra-ticket event for everyone.
Do I have to pay for parking the first day I use my pass if I buy it online ?
Great question Daish. I believe you do need to pay for parking. Then, when you go to a ticket booth and activate your passport, they’ll reimburse you if your AP includes parking.
Hi my question is if we buy the Disney passes today can we go to Disney tomorrow?
If you bought a Signature Plus AP today, you can go any day of the week, all year long. Thanks for the question Cici.
Buy today….. Go today.
