It’s a good time to be a Disney World Annual Passholder! Why? Well, we all know that there are plenty of year-round perks available for Annual Passholders, but for a limited time, EPCOT is bringing back something EXTRA special — just for Passholders!
It’s a good time to be an Annual Passholder!
V.I.Passholder Days are BACK for 2024! In addition to the typical perks you can take advantage of as an Annual Passholder, like free parking, hotel and ticket discounts, and food and merch discounts, Passholders get extra special treatment in the parks and resorts. Wanna see one of our FAVORITE limited-time offerings?
As part of Disney’s V.I.Passholder Days, you can enjoy extra merchandise discounts, a new Passholder magnet, a special NEW lounge in Disney World, Passholder-exclusive treats, special photo ops, and more. OK, back to that lounge we mentioned. This year, you’ll find it inside Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT!
Restaurant Marrakesh March 2024
Restaurant Marrakesh is tucked away in the back of the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT. YEARS ago (like, pre-2020), this spot was a table-service spot filled with Moroccan dishes and live entertainment. Most of the time, this spot sits empty, but for a short period of time, it will be used as an exclusive lounge!

Now that the lounge is OPEN, let’s head inside and take a look! This spot is the perfect place to escape the crowds (and the heat). There are complimentary snacks and drinks, plenty of seats, and a special character meet and greet.

To access the lounge, make sure you have proof of your Annual Passholder membership to show a Cast Member! Inside you’ll find free refreshments — Moroccan Mint Tea and some packaged snacks.

We met Genie today, and we’re told by Cast Members that Genie will usually be the one hanging out in the lounge — but you may see Jafar and Abu instead, so be flexible!
Hey, Genie!
V.I.Passholder Days will run from May 1st through June 26th, so make sure to head on over to EPCOT to enjoy that special treatment! In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

It’s unfortunate in a pavilion in which so much meticulous work occurred that they resort to having a lounge. Apparently that’s what happens when they can’t figure out what to do with a dead space similar to the DVC lounge in the Imagination pavilion.
WHERE IS JASMINE????
You can still meet Jasmine and Aladdin in the Lamps of Wonder at EPCOT inside the Morocco Pavilion. Genie, Abu and Jafar are just rare character meet and greets for passholders that can usually only be met at special events like After Hours parties. 🙂
