Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a TON of perks, and even more are coming next month!

EPCOT

V.I.PASSHOLDER Days are coming back to Disney World this year, and this summer-long event is filled with exclusive merch, limited-edition snacks, giveaways, and more. As part of this annual event, Disney is bringing back one of the BEST Annual Passholder perks — and you’ll want to head to EPCOT in May to take advantage of it!

That’s right, passholders, a NEW Disney World Annual Passholder magnet is coming next month! This one is all about Toy Story, and features best buds Woody and Buzz.

The magnet will be available to pickup at EPCOT’s Creations Shop from May 1st to July 31st during regular park hours. There is a limit of one magnet per passholder, and you’ll need to show your Annual Pass on the My Disney Experience app to pick up your magnet as well.
