Due to Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival being cut short this year, a lot of Annual Passholders didn’t get the chance to snag their beloved AP magnet!
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder
We’ve been receiving inquires from Annual Passholders about AP magnets just about every day and every time we’ve tried to find answers for you, we’ve hit a brick wall — UNTIL TODAY!
Disney World has released more information for Annual Passholders about the reopening of the theme parks.

With the announcement of the new Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system today, Disney has elaborated on how it will work for Annual Passholders. We knew that Passholders would be limited in the new system, but now we know more about the protocols. Disney World Passholders will be limited to 3 days of theme park reservations at one time.

The reopening of the Disney World theme parks is an unprecedented situation. Disney is walking a fine line in making sure their guests are happy with the protocols.
2020 Annual Passholder Magnet
One heavily affected group is Disney World Annual Passholders. The closure of the parks and modified reopening are definitely not what Passholders had in mind when they purchased their passes. Now, Disney is giving Passholders options for how they want to handle their passes with the reopening.
Disney World is moving towards a reopening, and there are going to be a lot of new protocols in place.
