Planning a trip to Disney World soon?
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
At any given time, there may be a series of discounts that you can use! And if you’re an Annual Passholder staying on property, there’s a special deal just for you that we wanted to remind you about.
Well, what a week it has been!!
Guests Don’t Have to Wear Masks Outdoors
In the early evening last Friday Disney announced a MAJOR change to their mask rules. Over the past few days, we’ve also seen changes made to social distancing, the early phasing out of temperature checks, the reopening of several restaurants, and more big news. Today we’re breaking down ALL the Disney news from this past week that you need to know!
Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders have had quite the year — first with the parks closing, then having to figure out the chaos of AP payments and renewals, and then the passholder program was canceled altogether in January of 2021.
It has been a wild year!
Since then, Disney has been offering those who formerly held annual passes (now called Legacy Passholders) a few perks, including discounts, special merchandise, and unique dining opportunities. The perks continue today, with another opportunity to snag the Legacy Passholder Mickey magnet!
Earlier this year, Disney World discontinued FREE MagicBands for guests at its resort hotels.
There Are Lots of MagicBand Designs to Choose From
Annual Passholders could still grab a free MagicBand with Annual Pass purchases (not currently available except in certain specific cases) and renewals. Soon, however, that will all be changing.
Since Disneyland suspended their Annual Passholder program and introduced their new “Legacy Passholder” program, things have started to look and feel a little different than prior to the closures.

Since that transition began earlier this year, the Disneyland app was updated with a digital discount ticket for Legacy Passholders to redeem their extended perks, which include various discounts on shopping and dining.
We received news earlier this year that Disneyland was “sunsetting” its Annual Passholder program.

Disneyland’s Annual Passholders are now called “Legacy Passholders,” and while they will not receive park admission when Disneyland reopens, they do get some other perks. However, Disneyland’s Annual Pass discontinuation was a bit more complicated for Premier Passport holders — those who had a joint Annual Pass for both Disney World and Disneyland. And if you ARE a Premier Passholder, we’ve got an important reminder for ya!
Orange Bird — he’s a sipper cup, he’s on a spirit jersey, he’s on Mickey ears, he’s got his own mural, he’s…well, everywhere!

The sale of Disney World Annual Passes has been suspended for quite a while now.
Hey, Donald!
And although guests can buy them on 2 VERY specific conditions, most people who want a pass have been unable to purchase. This morning, though, there was a glitch on the U.K. Disney site that made it SEEM like you could snag an Annual Pass.
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder can net you some sweet perks.
Dinoland
Since last month, Annual Passholders have gotten some seriously cool perks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And guess what…you only have ONE MORE WEEK to snag these offerings!
In case you haven’t heard, there are some MAJOR shakeups happening over at the Disneyland Resort. In January, Disney announced that they would “sunset” the current Annual Passholder program, leaving countless Disneyland fans wondering what was to come when the parks reopen.

The most recent update about Disneyland’s reopening has been an exciting one! Governor Gavin Newsom’s new “Blueprint Refresh” will allow theme parks to reopen as early as April 1st at limited capacity. In order to reopen, the county where the park is located must be in the red/substantial tier for COVID-19. Let’s recap exactly what has gone down thus far with Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program since the closures began, and what we can expect to see as a replacement program later this year.
