food IS a theme park
It’s just January, but Disney has announced a TON of changes coming to Disney Parks soon!

Perhaps Disney’s biggest announcement so far, though, is about the company’s plan to discontinue the Disneyland Annual Passholder Program.
Recently, Disney announced that the Disneyland Annual Passholder program will be discontinued.

Some Annual Passholders may be entitled to a refund, and we recently broke down Disney’s rather complex refund policy. But ever since the discontinuation of the Annual Pass program was announced, we’ve wondered what will replace it. Recently, we got a peek at some of the factors being considered for this new membership program. But, now we’ve got LOTS more information about what a future of Disneyland membership pass could look like.
Last week, Disneyland shared that it would be discontinuing its Annual Passholder program.

Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program has been around for decades and many guests have been left wondering if anything will replace it following its discontinuation. Well, it seems that a new replacement program is currently in development.

We got some BIG news from Disneyland last week with the cancellation of its Annual Passholder program.
Downtown Disney
If you are a current Disneyland Annual Passholder, there are still some perks you can take advantage of though, specifically discounts on shopping and food purchases in Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street. And today we found another small AP perk — a FREE magnet.
The theme parks at Disneyland Resort have been closed since March of 2020. Some analysts previously predicted that Disneyland’s theme parks wouldn’t reopen until the summer of this year.

But, with the stay-at-home order still in place in Southern California (where Disneyland is located), when exactly Disneyland’s theme parks will be able to reopen is unclear. Due to continued uncertainty and expected restrictions for reopening Disneyland, Disney recently announced that they will be sunsetting their current Annual Passport program. Some Annual Passport holders are set to receive refunds due to this cancellation, but how much of a refund will they get and who is eligible? The information Disney has shared is VERY complicated. So, we’re breaking it down here for you!

The property is one of five Super Point-of-Dispensing sites in California. While the theme park is mostly closed, Disney has opened the Toy Story parking lot to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. Medical tents have been installed and the site has opened for vaccine administration.
Yesterday, it was announced that Disneyland would become Orange County’s first mass vaccination site.

Vaccine distribution began in California last month, and we’ve been keeping an eye out for any significant updates. Today, it was announced that Disneyland will be the first large-scale vaccination site in Orange County.
Perhaps the hottest Disney merchandise items of 2020 were the products from the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection!
Minnie Ears
The monthly merchandise line featured classic Disney attractions like “it’s a small world”, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Jungle Cruise, wrapping up in December with a stunning fireworks finale series. The monthly merchandise releases were so popular that they helped spawn the creation of shopDisney’s MerchPass, AND they inspired this year’s collection, Stitch Crashes Disney. Even though 2020 is over, we spotted some Main Attraction merchandise today in a very unexpected place!
