Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Vanessa!
One of my favorite
perks of being a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder is being invited to the occasional V.I.Passholder events. Whether it’s preview access to the opening of new lands like
Pandora - The World of Avatar at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and
Toy Story Land or
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, my family and I try to take advantage of any opportunities we can get!
If you do get to participate in any of these events, though, everyone in your Party must be a
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder and must be connected via your
Family & Friends list in your
My Disney Experience profile in order for you to reserve a spot for them, too. At each of the events we’ve attended, we’ve had to present our Annual Passholder card along with photo I.D. and have had our MagicBands scanned when we check in to the event.
As an Annual Passholder, though, you can share the love by purchasing up to four discounted
Water Park tickets and/or tickets to special events such as
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. And if you take your family and friends out to eat at
Walt Disney World Resort, you can
present your Annual Passholder card for a discount on your entire Party’s meal (for you and up to three Guests when on the same ticket & using a single method of payment)!
Hopefully these perks will allow you to enjoy all of the
benefits of being a Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder, Vanessa! Please let us know if you have any additional questions; we’re always happy to help.
