Walt Disney World is sending Annual Passholders emails regarding additional Disney Park Pass Reservations as well as pass extensions or refund options.
Disney Park Pass Reservations update
The email states in regards to Annual Passholder park reservations:
We are excited to share that starting Thursday, July 16, additional Disney Park Pass reservations will be offered to Annual Passholders for select dates in July and August at Magic Kingdom® Park, EPCOT® and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Please note that this additional Disney Park Pass reservation availability does not reflect an increase in Park attendance, which remains limited during this reopening period.
Also, Annual Passholders staying at select Disney Resort or other select hotels with valid Theme Park admission are eligible to make Theme Park reservations for each day of their resort stay(s), in addition to holding up to 3 days of Theme Park reservations at a time on a rolling basis. Once you use a Theme Park reservation, you can make another reservation for a future date.
This is great news for Annual Passholders! This afternoon (July 14) Annual Passholders showed no availability in July and limited availability in August. It’s also good to hear that Disney is not simply letting more people into the parks, they are just letting passholders claim the unsold inventory.
While Theme Park Ticket Guests and Resort Guests had much greater availability.
However there is still no resolution for Platinum Plus Passholders who will continue to pay for the yet unopened water parks.
Options to Manage Your Pass
In June, Walt Disney World announced they would be adding a 30 day extension to all passes. The email sent today states that the additional month will be automatically processed and visible in the My Disney Experience account in the coming weeks.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can cancel your pass and receive any applicable refund in lieu of the additional month. This selection is available through August 11, 2020. Select this option with the link provided in the email or by calling V.I.PASSHOLDER Support. Heavy call volumes are anticipated. If you choose to cancel your annual pass, it will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and cancel on August 12, 2020.
Merchandise Location Discount
Disney is also providing annual passholders with a 30% discount on select merchandise at all Walt Disney World owned and operated merchandise locations through August 14, 2020.
Grab some of that new park merchandise and treats with the discount while you can!
