Hi Wendy,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. Welcome to the Annual Passholder family!
Have you activated your Annual Pass at the parks yet? That’s your first step; when you do that, you’ll receive your Annual Pass card and a handy booklet outlining
the perks of being a Passholder. Once you activate it, your next step is to log in to
My Disney Experience, select MagicBands and Cards, and then choose to Customize Your MagicBand. Find your Annual Passholder MagicBand option, and then select your color and the name you’d like inside. Once you finalize that request, the MagicBand will arrive within several days – look closely in the box, as your Passholder MagicBand slider will be in there too. (I try really hard not to flash that around too much. Just kidding...I love it!)
Literally the day after I received my Annual Passholder MagicBand, I received my Passholder Welcome Packet in the mail, and it included the Passholder magnet.
The Annual Passholder newsletter is called
The Mickey Monitor, and you can access the current issue online, along with several recent issues. I recommend checking your My Disney Experience account to be sure you have your preferred address on file and have opted in to receiving mailings and emails with Passholder news. You can always contact (407) WDW-PASS with any questions related to your pass, and Walt Disney World just announced
V.I.PASSHOLDER Support, a dedicated customer service platform.
Enjoy your magical Passholder year, Wendy!
