Though you may be familiar with Disneyland Annual Passports and Walt Disney World Annual Passes (perhaps you are even a holder of one of those passes yourself), you may be less familiar with the Disney Premier Passport.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Hailed as the “ultimate parks experience,” this unique Annual Pass grants holders admission to both Walt Disney World AND Disneyland for an entire year with no blackout dates, and also includes access to the Disney World water parks, Disney MaxPass for Disneyland, and more.
As we’ve been keeping you posted on the latest information with regards to Annual Passes for Walt Disney World and Disneyland in light of the current temporary closures of both Resorts, it is worth noting that Disney Premier Passport holders also have options when it comes to the status of their Pass at this unique time.
Disney World’s Spaceship Earth in Epcot
Active Disney Premier Passport holders who have already paid in full will automatically receive an extension to their Passport’s expiration date due to the theme park closures. (The new expiration date will be reflected on the holder’s account before the parks reopen.)
However, if a holder does not wish for the extension, they may opt for a partial refund for the closure period. Disney will provide information for how holders may choose this option soon. Passholders may also contact Annual Passholder Member Services at (714) 781-7277, but please be aware that long wait times should be anticipated due to heavy call volume.
Disneyland Annual Passholder Magnet
Note that, unlike Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort Annual Passes, a monthly payment plan is not an option for the Disney Premier Passport.

Are Disney World Restaurants Really Just Firing Everybody?! It’s Much More Complicated Than You Think
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
Our WDW annual passes expired in early March, with a renewal discount window closing in early April. We have been going every 3-4 weeks for a long weekend over the past year, and arrived at my daughter’s apartment in Windermere on March 12th as COVID-19 was ramping up. We are in our late 50’s and my wife has some health issues, so we decided it may not be worth the exposure risk to enter the parks, and did not renew our AP’s. That Sunday, they shut everything down, and soon after (as we expected) they shut down all salons. My wife, a cosmetologist and salon owner in Louisiana, was out of work just like Disney. I spoke with Disney regarding the renewal discount window, and they said we could only receive the discount if we renew our passes before our renewal discount date. If we did not, we would lose the discount. With a looming severe income change due to the pandemic, we were unable to spend that much money on non-necessities.
Considering that we were at Disney for 15 weekends last year, spending our money within their resorts and theme parks, would you not expect Disney to recognize and try to help recently expired AP holders by extending the renewal discount rate for at least the first month after the pandemic travel restrictions are lifted? After all, these are unprecedented times, and everyone is suffering, if not physically, financially. This act of goodwill towards their longtime fans and supporters would go a long way in restoring relationships, and would offer some relief (and motivation) for us to get back up and into the parks again.
