A Word of Warning About Disney World's New Annual Pass Cards…

Annual Passholders at Disney World have some good perks.

Often times they can get discounts on Disney hotels. They get a few exclusives like the Disney World popcorn bucket above. They also get bonus park pass reservations for certain days and parks that do not count towards the 5-day maximum they can hold. With the 50th anniversary being over, they received a new design for their annual passholder cards.

During the 50th Anniversary, Disney did a makeover of the annual passholder cards to reflect the gold statues and the 50th anniversary color scheme, earidescent.

They have now gone back to a more classic look. The card features Mickey Mouse himself on a bright yellow card. This yellow we have seen on annual passholder magnets and popcorn buckets before. See them here.

One big difference with this card is that there is no date on the back as there was in previous years. A Cast Member told us that you will need to show your annual pass on the My Disney Experience app and your ID to use the discount instead of showing the card.

Passholders do not have to have a card if they have Magic Mobile on their device. They can use Magic Mobile for entrance into the park as well as discounts for food and merchandise.
