Hey there Annual Passholders! This is a warning that some exclusive perks are about to disappear!
Disney World Annual Pass
We’re not talking about the perks you get in Disney World all the time, like discounts on dining and merchandise and exclusive deals on hotel rooms. There have been some limited-time bonus perks that Annual Passholders have been able to enjoy over the last month that will be ENDING SOON, so we wanted to give you a heads-up!
Disney World has been hosting a celebration for Annual Passholders over the past month or so, called V.I.Passholder Days. As a part of that event, Passholders have gotten new perks like a free souvenir, access to an exclusive lounge, increased discounts, and more.

I am an annual passholder. However, I don’t live in the state of Florida. My trips have to be planned. And what I’m wondering is are there annual passholder events that occur at the same time every year? For example, I see, this one has been going on, but is it going to be going on at the same time next year because I’m missing out on all these parks? If I can’t plan a trip or as a Florida, resident can potentially just drive there at any time.
