What’s the best part about being a Disney World Annual Passholder? That’s easy — the PERKS.
Not only does it allow you into the parks most days (or every day depending on your pass) of the year, but Disney is constantly tossing out freebies, exclusive discounts, special merchandise, lounges, and more. Now, if you’ve got an Annual Pass, we’ve got a big update for you: NEW exclusives are coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon!
You already know we love a mystery so as soon as the Disney World Passholder account posted a new teaser, we were on the case. Let’s see what we think these new perks could be!
Okay, the first two slides aren’t too much of a mystery. It looks like Annual Passholders will have some new PhotoPass props to use pretty soon! It’s common to see photographers around the park with props to create fun photo ops, but as an AP, you’ll have access to special ones.
Annual Passholders will also get a new magnet! From time to time, Disney World releases a free Passholder magnet…but this time you’ll probably have to travel to Animal Kingdom to get it.
Onto the next hint. The sign says “Snack o’ Clock, Tasty Treats.” Look a little closer and you’ll see Simba from The Lion King. Are new treats based on the iconic Disney movie coming to Disney World? The park has seen the return of a popular meet and greet, special souvenirs and eats, and more to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film earlier this summer. Maybe this is a continuation of that with exclusives for Passholders? Only time will tell!
Now this last sign has us stumped. Could this be another hint to the theme of the exclusives above? It pretty much solidifies that something themed to The Lion King is coming but we’re not 100% sure what this hint is for…what do you think?
Disney said to keep an eye on the Annual Passholder Instagram page for more announcements so we’ll just have to wait for more details. There was no timeline for these exclusives to be revealed but we’ll let you know as soon as Disney makes an announcement!
