Time is running out and many Disney World Annual Passholders are asking themselves a tough question before tomorrow’s deadline.
Train Station
Should they or shouldn’t they cancel their annual passes to Disney World? The final day to opt into cancellation of the pass is TOMORROW, August 11th, and passes will no longer be valid for entry beginning August 12th!
If you’re still going back and forth with this tough decision, here’s some additional information that could help you make up your mind. Disney has updated its Annual Passholder policies with the following information regarding how partial refunds, if eligible, will be calculated.

According to Disney’s website, the refund amount, if applicable, will be uniquely based on the passholder’s circumstances.
Partial Refund Eligibility/Calculation
- “The refund amount, if any, for each pass circumstance is unique and based on factors such as: new or renewal, down payment amount, refunds to date, activation date, etc.
- If the total amount that you paid for your pass(es) (minus any refunds already given and any payments waived, returned or not collected) exceeds the “usable value” (see below) of your pass(es), that excess will be refunded to you.
- The usable value of your pass(es) equals the total sale price of your pass(es) multiplied by the number of days that you could have visited any park prior to March 16 and divided by the total number of access days to any park permitted under the pass(es) at pass activation.
- If you made a payment between July 11, 2020 and August 11, 2020 or a payment between March 14, 2020 and April 4, 2020 that was not already refunded, your refund will be at least the amount of any such payment(s).”

If you wish to cancel your annual passes, here’s how to take action:
- “If you have already elected to cancel your pass(es), this will be automatically processed for your pass(es). You do not need to take any additional action.
- If you have not selected any option (no action) and would like to select this option to cancel your pass(es), please refer to the email from Disney Destinations on July 14, 2020 and use the personalized link available through August 11, 2020. Or, you may call V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277. We appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries.

I think for the third bullet under partial refund it should say multiplied by the number of days after March 16 instead of prior? Maybe I am reading this wrong.
Jenna, I think it’s correct, but I’ll have the team double-check.
Does cancelling a pass through the personalized link cancel all passes purchased with it?
Anthony, I don’t know the answer to that. Sorry!
I cancelled my (Out of State) Annual Pass yesterday. I originally bought it in November of 2019. The extended expiration date was in mid-March 2021. I should be getting a pretty big refund.
I cancelled because we don’t expect to be visiting Disney as long as all the restrictions and mask-mandates are in effect. We stay on property, buy the Dining Plan, and always Park-Hop. We don’t want to gamble on being able to get into ONE park per day, and pay for food out of pocket. If we want to do that, we can stay at any other hotel for a lot less per night.
I’ve been going to WDW since it opened in 1971. Recently my family have been going multiple times per year for a few short trips (3-4 days) each and a big annual vacation of 7-10 days. It breaks my heart to read about new restrictions, closures, cancellations, shut-downs, etc. every day. The evidence is pointing to Disney running out of money quickly, despite their assurances of plenty of extra cash on hand. We were planning on renewing our vows (20th Anniversary) next year, but if the current nonsense continues, we won’t be doing that. I hope Disney pulls it’s head out of it’s butt soon.
I am on the monthly payments/silver pass. And original renew day is Sept 16th.
I cancelled my passes. Will I get a refund? I didn’t get one for March payment comes out on the 13th payments refunded for the 14th and beyond. Am I getting anything??? Help please 😁😁😁😁😁😁
I cancelled my annual pass in August. I bought it in March. Spent Four days in Disney World and was told park was closing. We were in the middle of a 10 day visit..our pass included hopper pass. Have been waiting for refund
