The ONE Rule You Can't Forget About Annual Passholder and DVC Discounts

We’re gearing up for a whirlwind lineup of special events in Disney World — holiday parties!

Hollywood Studios Christmas tree

Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can score some pretty sweet discounts throughout Disney World, on everything from food to merch to special event tickets and more. But, there’s one rule that we think people tend to forget about these discounts — they often have some strings attached.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and Jollywood Nights are coming up faster than we’re prepared for, and tickets are on sale now for all three events. Disney World Annual Passholders and DVC Members can score extra savings on tickets, but there’s one rule you might want to keep in mind: Disney often places certain restrictions on when, where, and how APs and DVC Members can use these discounts — like at Disney World’s holiday parties.

Since the discount only applies on certain dates, we did a bit of digging to find out just when these discounts are available, and you can check out all the info below!

Christmastime is here!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party brings all sorts of festive fright to Magic Kingdom on 38 dates throughout August-November. Prices range from $109-$199 for adult tickets, depending on the date you select. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket on August and September dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

We’re always down to celebrate Halloween!
