Yes, We Woke Up Early To Rope Drop This Highly-Anticipated Disney World Souvenir

This brand-new Disney World souvenir might be their BEST one yet!

New AP magnet

When Disney World teased us with their upcoming Annual Passholder magnet design, Disney fans went wild. And when Disney released the date we could expect to pick it up, we had our bags packed and ready to go. Now that day has finally come, and we’ve headed out early in the morning to claim a Disney villain as our own!

Disney World’s V.I.Passholder Days are officially here, and they’ve brought back a popular souvenir you can pick up now! Being a Disney World Annual Passholder affords you the privilege of additional perks beyond regular admission to Disney World’s parks all year long, like discounts and exclusive merchandise.

However, at certain times of the year, Disney World is known to drop a special offering that seems to pack quite the crowd looking for their chance to grab their own. Disney World’s Annual Passholder magnets have become a fun souvenir that APs look forward to claiming while visiting Disney World on their upcoming trips. We’ve seen some great designs in the past with characters like Orange Bird, Stitch, and even Hei Hei, but now we’re getting our first Disney villain to grace our presence.

Disney World AP magnet pick up this way

On May 14th, Disney World released the Maleficent AP magnet available for pick up at EPCOT to eligible Disney World Annual Passholders. In order to claim one for yourself, you’ll need to make your way over to the Creations Shop in World Celebration and look for the signs that will direct you to check in.

If you’re coming within the first few days of a new magnet’s release, you could expect to find yourself waiting in line to pick yours up.

Isn’t she stunning? We’re in awe of how powerful her pose is and that she’s pictured with her trusty staff.

If you’re coming to pick up your own magnet, there are a few other things you’ll need with you. Of course, you’ll be scanning your valid Disney World AP ticket card, MagicBand+, or MagicMobile ticket from your phone (whichever you used to get into the park at the tapstiles) to validate your Annual Pass. You’ll also want to make certain you’ve brought along your valid government-issued photo ID for Cast Members to verify. Keep in mind that since these are a limited offering, magnet pick-ups are limited to one per AP, and you must be physically present in order to pick yours up.

First Disney villain design

These are also only available for a limited time while supplies last, and since we can see this one being a very popular design, it’s best to go ahead and make this a priority for you early in your day if it’s important to you.

There’s plenty more V.I.Passholder perks that await you at Disney World! Be sure to stay tuned with us at AllEars as we bring you the latest Disney World news, updates, and more.
