Disney World Adds One Free Month to Annual Pass Expiration Dates

    Disney World has begun the process of adding one free month to all Annual Pass expiration dates. The free month is a thank you of sorts to Annual Passholders who are finding themselves at a disadvantage to visiting the parks like they normally would. Between a lack of park hopping and the restrictive Disney Park Pass system, many Passholders saw a decrease in the perceived value of their pass, leading Disney to adding a free month for all Passholders in addition to their policies as it related to the theme park closures.

    Passholders should check their pass details in the My Disney Experience app or website to see the free month.

    Of course, Passholders who still don’t find value with their pass are able to cancel their pass outright if they so choose. Here are the latest policy updates from Disney:

    We know that many Passholders are excited to get back to the magic—and we’re eager to see our cherished Passholders, too. We also recognize that Park reservations will change the way that many of our Passholders use their pass. With that in mind, we are offering these alternative options to manage your pass.

    If you are an Annual Passholder that has paid in full, your options are:

    • Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass (unless you choose to cancel your pass). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
    • If you prefer, and in lieu of the one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). Your pass will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020. You will be refunded for the remaining access days of your annual pass from July 11, 2020 through your pass expiration date (as extended, if applicable). Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.

    If you are an Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan, your options are:

    • Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass(es) (unless you choose to cancel your pass(es)). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
    • If you prefer, and in lieu of the additional one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). If you choose this option, monthly payments will be stopped starting August 12, 2020. Your pass(es) will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020. Any payments made between July 11, 2020 and August 11, 2020 will be retroactively refunded. If you made a payment between March 14, 2020 through April 4, 2020 that was not already refunded, that payment will also be retroactively refunded. Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.

    Now through August 11, 2020, call V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at 407-939-7277 to cancel your pass or for assistance on any individual concerns. Please note that once submitted, selections cannot be changed.

    Please note: We will email Annual Passholders these details in phases over the course of several hours beginning the afternoon of July 14.
