If You’re a Disney Passholder and Not Using These Perks, You’re Doing It Wrong

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to renew or use your Disney Annual Pass, this is it. Disney’s rolling out a seriously generous wave of perks — and they’re not holding back. From limited-time discounts to exclusive goodies and even a whopping $1,000 off Disney Vacation Club, Passholders have plenty of reasons to celebrate.

But heads up — these deals won’t last long. Here’s everything you need to know before they disappear.

Major Savings Across the Board

Disney is cutting prices in a big way for its most loyal fans. Right now, Annual Passholders can:

  • Score $49 tickets to Disney’s water parks — less than half the usual cost.

  • Get up to 40% off at some of Disney World’s best restaurants, like Toledo and Cape May Cafe.

  • Take $30 off After Hours tickets at Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.

  • Get $15 off H2O Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon.

  • Save $10 on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets on select dates.

That’s already a huge haul of savings — and we’re just getting started.

EPCOT Lounge + Freebies Galore

Sometimes it’s the little things that feel extra magical. For the summer, Passholders get access to an exclusive lounge in EPCOT, located inside Restaurant Marrakesh at the Morocco Pavilion. It’s air-conditioned (thank goodness), has free snacks and water, and even lets you charge your phone while you cool off.

Oh — and yes, there’s a free collectible button, too.

Merch, Magnets, and More

There’s also a new Maleficent-themed Passholder magnet available now through July 31 at Creations Shop in EPCOT. And if you’re into stylish drinkware, grab the Joey Chou-designed tumbler — it even comes with your choice of beverage.

Throw in exclusive Passholder hats and shirts across the parks, and suddenly your wallet is in danger (again).

The $1,000 Game-Changer

The biggest perk? Disney is offering $1,000 off select Disney Vacation Club memberships for current Passholders. That kind of discount doesn’t come around often — and it could be the best time to make that long-term Disney commitment.

If DVC has been on your radar, this is one deal worth seriously considering.

Don’t Sleep on These Extras

Craving a cool treat? Head over to Hollywood Scoops for the exclusive Cruella Ice Cream Sundae. It’s just for Passholders and stacked with cookies and cream, fudge, whipped cream, and more.

Joffrey’s is also running a drink challenge with special Passholder-only beverages in every park. Complete the stamp card and grab a prize at Disney Springs.

Time Is Running Out

Between the $49 tickets, the lounge access, exclusive food, drink perks, and the massive DVC discount — Disney’s clearly trying to bring back that VIP feeling for Passholders.

But don’t wait. Most of these offers expire by the end of July, and some even sooner.

If you’re a Passholder, this is your moment. Jump on it while the magic — and the savings — last.
