Yes, being able to go to Disney World almost whenever you want as a Disney World Annual Passholder is the greatest perk you could ask for. However, there are tons of other perks that come with being an Annual Passholder as well.
Disney World Annual Pass
Disney World Annual Passholders can get discounts on dining and souvenirs, access to exclusive merchandise collections, and free Annual Passholder magnets (everyone’s favorite)! Speaking of, Disney World just teased that a new Annual Passholder magnet is on the way. They didn’t announce the theme specifically, but we have a hunch.
In case you missed it, Disney World is showing Annual Passholders a lot of love this summer!

The Disney Skyliner has fans. A lot of them. And honestly, we get it. It’s fast, it’s pretty, it feels a little bit like your transportation got upgraded from “theme park bus” to “European vacation fever dream,” and it connects EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Riviera Resort. These days, it generally starts running one hour before Early Theme Park Entry at EPCOT or Hollywood Studios and usually keeps going until 90 minutes after those parks close.
Who’s up for a ride on the Skyliner?
But here’s the bad news: the Skyliner is not some flawless floating chariot sent from the heavens to fix all your Disney transportation problems. It is still public transportation. Public transportation that happens to dangle in the sky. And that means it comes with a few very real headaches you should know about before you build your whole vacation strategy around it.
Disney has recently announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet?
