Annual Passholders heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom this season will find a familiar pair waiting for them, as Disney rolls out another limited-time perk designed specifically for its most dedicated guests.
Walt Disney World’s Annual Passholder Program allows fans to return to the parks again and again throughout the year while enjoying a variety of built-in advantages. These include complimentary standard parking, reduced pricing on food and merchandise, and occasional savings on select experiences. Exclusive offers and Passholder-only perks are frequently added, giving longtime fans extra incentives to visit.
Each Annual Pass comes with its own set of rules, including pricing, reservation limits, and blackout dates that depend on the tier purchased. Guests may add options like water park access or PhotoPass downloads, and park reservations are required on many days. Discounts require a valid photo ID, and Passholders can turn to the V.I.PASSHOLDER team for assistance, renewals, or upgrades.
Now available for a short window, a new Zootopia-themed magnet is being distributed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Featuring Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, the collectible can be picked up at Discovery Trading Company from February 5 through March 15, while supplies last. Eligible guests must show both a valid Annual Pass and a photo ID to receive the magnet.
The release underscores Disney’s ongoing commitment to the Zootopia franchise, which continues to maintain visibility across the resort. Since debuting in 2016, the series has grown into a billion-dollar property, with Zootopia 2 arriving in late 2025 and additional offerings expanding its footprint beyond the screen.
Animal Kingdom itself became a major home for the franchise in November 2025 with the debut of Zootopia: Better Zoogether! The new 4D show replaced It’s Tough to Be a Bug! inside the Tree of Life Theater and centers on a Zoogether Day celebration in the city of Zootopia. The attraction incorporates in-theater effects, new characters, and an Audio-Animatronic Clawhauser, giving the space a completely refreshed feel.
Though small in size, the Passholder magnet fits neatly into Disney’s broader pattern of updates and enhancements. Guests visiting Animal Kingdom can pair their attraction experience with a collectible that marks this latest chapter for the park.
The timing is notable, as the exclusive item arrives shortly after the permanent closure of DinoLand U.S.A., making way for Imagineering’s plans to introduce the Tropical Americas to the park.
