How To Keep Your Disney World Annual Pass If You’re A Premier Passport Holder

By Leave a Comment

We got some pretty big news yesterday and we’re still fleshing out the situation. It was announced yesterday that Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program will be discontinued. While this news was pretty straightforward for those with only Disneyland Annual Passholders, the info was a bit confusing for those holding a Premier Passport.

That’s right, this new change will also have an effect on the Premier Passport — the offering that works as a joint Annual Pass for both The Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. Due to this change, Premier Passport holders won’t just be automatically renewed for the Disney World side of their Annual Pass, and if you’re in this situation there are a few steps that you need to take! We’re breaking down what Premier Passport holders need to do to maintain access to the Disney World theme parks.

Why Aren’t Disney World Annual Passes For Sale?

By 40 Comments

During one of Disney’s quarterly earnings calls back in August 2020, it was revealed that HALF of the total attendance at Disney World at the time consisted of locals. And it’s probably a safe assumption that a LOT of those locals coming to the parks are Annual Passholders.

For Disney World, 50% is HIGH for Annual Passholder attendance on any given day. So if the demand is clearly there for Annual Passholders to be a part of Disney’s phased reopening, it would make sense for Disney to welcome even MORE Passholders into the fold. But to this day, new Annual Passes are still not for sale (with the exception of two specific groups of guests).

NEWS: Disney World Annual Passholders Should Receive Their 30-Day Pass Extension Soon

By 9 Comments

Disney World has reopened, but there are still some changes to be made to some of the new systems.

Walt Disney World Annual Passholder

Annual Passholders have been on a bit of a rollercoaster this year when it comes to getting their money’s worth. Many folks have had their passes extended for the length of the closure — but that’s not the end of things. With the introduction of the Disney Park Pass reservation system to limit capacity, Passholders aren’t necessarily guaranteed entry into the parks.

To help mitigate Passholder concerns, Disney recently announced an added 30-day extension on top of the closure extension to make up for the capacity limits. Now, we know that those extensions are coming soon — and Passholders have another option.
