Annual Pass

Disney World is celebrating V.I.PASSHOLDER Days this summer, and the festivities end on July 31st. That means that if you’re reading this on the day it’s published, you only have 29 more days to check out some seriously awesome exclusive entertainment, specialty eats, and spectacular discounts. Let’s go over the FULL list!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Character Meets

Starting off our list, if you visit the Magic Eye Theater in EPCOT each day between 10AM and 6PM through July, you can enjoy an exclusive Annual Passholder character meet! When you arrive in the lobby, some of Mickey Mouse’s friends will be there to greet you.

When we stopped by, we got to see Chip and Dale looking rather dapper! There’s no telling who will be in attendance when you show up, so if you like to gather autographs and get hugs, this is a MUST.

Passholder Lounge

Also in EPCOT (it’s the unofficial hub for V.I.PASSHOLDER Days), you’ll find the Passholder Lounge. This is located at Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion, and it’s just as glorious as ever. An entire room dedicated to fun little exclusives, PLUS it has air conditioning? Count us in!

Annual Passholder lounge

This year, the lounge offers an exclusive Passholder button, snacks and beverages, and a unique photo op with a PhotoPass photographer. It’s a great spot to cool off from the summer heat when you’re hoofing it around the World Showcase.

A New Magnet

Available while supplies last in Creations Shop (or through July 31st), you can snag the Buzz and Woody Annual Passholder magnet. These free magnets are a beloved Passholder tradition, and they’re great to decorate your fridge, car, or wherever else you’d like.

Each Passholder must be present to pick theirs up, and will need to show valid ID alongside their Annual Pass. Limit one per Passholder.

A Special Snack

Also in EPCOT is the Mickey Chocolate Cake Pop with Werther’s Original Caramel for $5.99 at Karamell-Kuche. This treat is Passholder exclusive and only around for V.I.PASSHOLDER Days.

Yum!

This is a very rich, deep, dark chocolate cake pop with a thin shell of chocolate on the outside, as well as a drizzle of caramel, complete with yellow sprinkles on top — it’s a chocolate-lover’s dream. We tried it out and it reminded us a lot of a fancy truffle. Definitely give it a taste if you’re stopping by!

Toy Story Exclusives

And speaking of Toy Story friends, there are some exclusive Passholder offerings in Hollywood Studios in honor of the release of Toy Story 5. From 10AM to 4PM in Grand Avenue, you can get the Annual Passholder Jessie and Bullseye Magic Shot with a Disney PhotoPass photographer.
