Annual Passholders just got another perk over in a fan-favorite Disney World park!
Disney World Annual Passholders already have tons of special benefits in the parks, including discounts on food and merchandise, plus a special park entrance.

This new lounge is a place where Passholders can cool off and take a break from their busy park day, as well as try some exclusive offerings at an additional price. Those offerings include:
- A Spark of Grape Shake — Made of grape, guava, passionfruit, orange, and lime
- Raspberry “Lemonade” Tart — A shortbread tart filled with lemon mousse, raspberry jam, and raspberry mousse
Here’s a closer peek at A Spark of Grape Shake.

It’s a fruity shake with grape, guava, passionfruit, orange, and lime flavors. We ended up really enjoying this shake — give it a try on your next visit to EPCOT!
Of course, we had to order the Raspberry “Lemonade” Tart, too! This shortbread tart was filled with tart, fruity flavors as well.
This is a VERY sweet treat, but the filling was light and fluffy!
Oh, and we also noticed some Passholder-exclusive bagged snacks and treats available in the lounge!
To get into the lounge, you’ll need to verify that you are an Annual Passholder. Make sure to check in with a Cast Member by the lounge entrance!
To help differentiate the special area from the rest of the dining room, Disney added new Passholder-inspired tables to the lounge. The tables resemble the Annual Passholder cards!
Availability for this lounge is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we suggest checking out the lounge before the heat of the day if you want to see what it’s like.
Don’t forget that there is a LOT of exciting news that impacts Passholders right now, including new photo ops, increased discounts, a new magnet, and more! Be sure to stay tuned to AllEars for all the latest Disney news.

We visited on June 2. Nice break from the heat. Got the snacks and the ice water. Did not see the beverage or the tart.
Not sure where the actual “exciting” benefit is. I visited – you had to pay for the snacks and the “lounge” was simply a separate area of Sunshine Seasons seating. Which, at the time I went, was more crowded than the rest of the seating area. Did I miss something?
