Annual Passholders Receive One Month Extension to Expiration Dates

Annual Passholders have been disappointed by the recent policies concerning Park Pass reservations and how many Park reservations they can reserve at a time. Disney is working to make it up to them with an exciting new perk!

Disney World is beginning to add one free month to all Annual Pass expiration dates. Disney has automatically extended Annual Pass expiration dates as a way of thanking their loyal Passholders.

Recently, Annual Passholders were dismayed to learn they would be permitted to reserve Park Pass reservations for the length of stay on Resort reservations, but that they would only be permitted to reserve three Park Pass reservations at a time for non-Resort stays.

Disney has also recently shared that there will temporarily be no opportunity to hop between parks, and is refunding Guests with Park Hopper tickets.

With the ability to park hop and choose a park to attend at the spur of the moment currently unavailable, many Passholders were left frustrated and wondering if their Annual Passes were worth the money they paid for them.

If your are an Annual Passholder, check your My Disney Experience account to see if your pass has been extended!

If Annual Passholders decide that their pass is still not worth it for them, Disney has given the option to cancel Annual Passes. Here is the latest policy from Disney:

We know that many Passholders are excited to get back to the magic—and we’re eager to see our cherished Passholders, too. We also recognize that Park reservations will change the way that many of our Passholders use their pass. With that in mind, we are offering these alternative options to manage your pass.

If you are an Annual Passholder that has paid in full, your options are:

• Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass (unless you choose to cancel your pass). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
• If you prefer, and in lieu of the one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). Your pass will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020. You will be refunded for the remaining access days of your annual pass from July 11, 2020 through your pass expiration date (as extended, if applicable). Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.

If you are an Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan, your options are:

• Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass(es) (unless you choose to cancel your pass(es)). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
• If you prefer, and in lieu of the additional one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). If you choose this option, monthly payments will be stopped starting August 12, 2020. Your pass(es) will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020. Any payments made between July 11, 2020 and August 11, 2020 will be retroactively refunded. If you made a payment between March 14, 2020 through April 4, 2020 that was not already refunded, that payment will also be retroactively refunded. Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.

Now through August 11, 2020, call V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at 407-939-7277 to cancel your pass or for assistance on any individual concerns. Please note that once submitted, selections cannot be changed.
