On Friday, Walt Disney World Resort introduced the new Florida Resident Theme Park Select Pass as well as add-ons for 2 existing annual pass tiers. 
The new pass is another option for residents in Florida who want access to at least one theme park during most times of the year. The Florida Resident Theme Park Select Pass will include at least 325 days of access at select theme parks and at least 175 days of access to all four theme parks throughout the year, and is priced at $439.

Guests will still have the option to purchase the silver tier annual pass at the same exact pricing of the Theme Park Select Pass and will only have 129 blocked days. Hollywood Studios blocked out dates are expected to rise once Star Wars Land opens in Fall of 2019.
In addition to the new pass, Disney is also introducing add-ons for the Florida Resident Disney Weekday Select, Theme Park Select and Florida Resident Disney Silver Passholders. Priced at $89, that gives access to Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Disney’s Animal Kingdom through August 9 2018 which are currently blocked out for all passed below the Gold Tier annual pass.
