food IS a theme park
Happy Friday y’all! We’re taking a trip to Disney Springs to start our weekend off on the right foot!
Wonderful World of Memories
Our first stop today was the Wonderful World of Memories store on the Marketplace side of Disney Springs, and you won’t believe what we just found!

Just this morning we found out that Annual Passholders are currently getting an AWESOME 30% off discount on shopDisney, just like they’ve ALREADY been getting in-store in the parks. Of course, we love a good discount, but this new perk might be the BIGGEST of the day. Annual Passholders are getting a NEW MAGNET!

In order to enter the newly reopened Disney World parks, all guests must have a Disney Park Pass reservation, in addition to valid park admission.

There are separate reservation calendars for Disney World Resort guests, regular ticket holders, and Annual Passholders. We have noticed that while the reservations can go quickly, occasionally additional availability has opened up.
There have been lots of new and unique experiences as part of the recently reopened Walt Disney World, including new character interactions, the changes at the 2020 Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and new merchandise!

Disney World Annual Passholders have had to make a lot of decisions this year.

With choices between extensions and refunds, changing expiration dates, and high-demand Disney Park Passes; we’ve been dishing out a LOT of news for Annual Passholders over the past few months. Well, now we have an update for those who have opted to cancel their passes — we now know when your refund should arrive!
The Disney World parks have reopened, but some changes are still being made.

When the Disney parks closed, Annual Passholders were left in a bit of confusion. Some received extensions for the four-months of closures and some monthly Passholders were even erroneously charged their postponed payments all at once! Things seem to be more sorted out now, though. A few weeks ago, Passholders were given the option of adding an extra month to make up for the inconvenience of the Disney Park Pass system; now, that extension has started to arrive!
Disney World has reopened, but there are still some changes to be made to some of the new systems.
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder
Annual Passholders have been on a bit of a rollercoaster this year when it comes to getting their money’s worth. Many folks have had their passes extended for the length of the closure — but that’s not the end of things. With the introduction of the Disney Park Pass reservation system to limit capacity, Passholders aren’t necessarily guaranteed entry into the parks.
To help mitigate Passholder concerns, Disney recently announced an added 30-day extension on top of the closure extension to make up for the capacity limits. Now, we know that those extensions are coming soon — and Passholders have another option.
Almost a week ago, some Disney World Annual Passholders who had opted to postpone their payments until the end of the closure noticed something rather strange.

A bizarre processing error had occurred and many Passholders were unexpectedly charged for all four months of the park closures AT ONCE.
