Hi Rebecca,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and it sounds like you also deserve a great big welcome to the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder family! I'm a new Annual Passholder too, and am so appreciative of all the fantastic special magic that comes along with my pass.
A complimentary
MagicBand is
included with your Walt Disney World Annual Pass. Once you activate the pass at any Guest Relations window, you'll be able to log in to your My Disney Experience account, and under "My MagicBands and Cards," select your Passholder MagicBand color and personalize the inside of the band. When it's ready to go, the band will ship to you. (Be sure to look carefully in the box, as you should also receive an Annual Passholder MagicBand slider.) When you activate the band at Disney, you'll also receive your Annual Passholder card, which you'll need to show, along with a valid ID, to redeem discounts at merchandise or dining locations.
Those adorable "Passholder" magnets were one of the things I was most excited about when I got my annual pass. The magnet designs change all the time, and are usually offered in connection with a special offering in the parks. Right now, the Passholder magnet features Figment, and is available at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts. Keep an eye on the
Passholder Extras web page for all the latest special offers, including details about where to collect those magnets. I also follow Disney World Passholders on Facebook and @DisneyParks on Twitter to stay on top of all the latest Passholder news.
Welcome to the family, Rebecca. Let the magic begin!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
