food IS a theme park
Attention: Disney World Passholders!
Hey, Donald!
There’s been some pretty fun Passholder perks lately, from the return of free magnets to a secret drink menu at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But we’re here to remind you that an exclusive Disney Vacation Club and Passholder discount ends TOMORROW — so take advantage of it while you can!
Last year, Disney World Annual Passholders got some special savings opportunities in the parks.
Annual Passholder Ears
So far, this year we’ve seen exclusive merchandise become available for Passholders, including ears, a hat, and a pin. Well now Annual Passholders are getting another Disney treat. Once again, Annual Passholders have the opportunity to save BIG on select Disney merchandise in Walt Disney World.
We got some pretty big news yesterday and we’re still fleshing out the situation. It was announced yesterday that Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program will be discontinued. While this news was pretty straightforward for those with only Disneyland Annual Passholders, the info was a bit confusing for those holding a Premier Passport.

That’s right, this new change will also have an effect on the Premier Passport — the offering that works as a joint Annual Pass for both The Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. Due to this change, Premier Passport holders won’t just be automatically renewed for the Disney World side of their Annual Pass, and if you’re in this situation there are a few steps that you need to take! We’re breaking down what Premier Passport holders need to do to maintain access to the Disney World theme parks.
The Annual Passholder pop-up shop in EPCOT was a true treasure trove of deals and cool merchandise!
Merchandise
Although the pop-up shop is no longer available, Annual Passholders will soon be able to shop for some exclusive merchandise at 4 locations in Magic Kingdom!
After Disney World’s reopening, we slowly began to see weekend park pass availability beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders on a regular basis, particularly with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is still a HUGE draw.)

And most recently, we noticed that weekends in October were beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders.
Are you a Haunted Mansion fan and Walt Disney World Passholder?

Then, get ready! A special shopping event has just been announced that will give Passholders special access to a NEW Haunted Mansion merchandise item!
Disney World is mere days away from officially reopening. That means final preparations are underway to be ready to welcome guests back into the parks.

One of the biggest changes has been the introduction of the Park Pass Reservation System, which requires guests to have both a valid ticket AND a reservation for access to one of Disney World’s theme parks. When the Park Pass system went live, a number of Annual Passholders were left in a confusing situation — if they held a hotel reservation, they were only able to book the length of their resort stay and NOT also their three days of passes at a time allotted to them as Passholders. It seems this has changed!
It’s just about that time of year again!
Disney Villains After Hours
No, not Christmas — we’re talking about the time of year when Disney Villains take over Magic Kingdom for Disney Villains After Hours! We attended this wickedly fun event last year, and found it delightfully memorable. If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder looking to attend the night of (tame) frights, Disney is offering an extra special treat to entice!
