Uh, Disney, Is This Annual Passholder Announcement Something We Have To DECODE?

Are you a Disney World Annual Passholder?

Disney World Annual Pass

Annual Passholders get lots of perks throughout the year such as discounted event tickets, discounts on food, exclusive events and souvenirs, and free magnets. Let’s be honest, we Annual Passholders LIVE for the free magnets Disney gives out. They’re fun to collect and they’re always so cute! They’re handed out in the parks while supplies last, and the lines can be SUPER long. So we have some great news for all you Annual Passholder magnet lovers out there — Disney has just teased a NEW magnet coming soon!

About a week ago, Disney announced on the Annual Passholder Instagram page that new passholder exclusives were on the way. New PhotoPass props, new snacks, and a NEW magnet were all shown on the post. The announcement also featured Animal Kingdom and several references to The Lion King.

Now, Disney has released a little teaser video on Instagram about the new magnet that will be released soon. The video begins with what appears to be Timon’s arm reaching in to uncover a savory dish.

As soon as he lifts the lid, you see tons of grubs that seem to also be from The Lion King. These grubs look like the same ones that Timon introduces to Simba when Simba first meets Timon and Pumba.

Then as the grubs scurry away, we can see the message “New passholder magnet coming soon!”

Many people in the comments think that the next magnet might feature Pumba, which would be a fun addition to the magnet collection. However, it seems that there could be the possibility of Timon or Simba as well based on the references.

There certainly seems to be a consensus, though, that the next magnet could feature one of our favorite characters from The Lion King! We’ll be watching to for confirmation from Disney who will be featured on the new exclusive item. In the meantime, if you’re an Annual Passholder, be sure to take advantage of your discounts and other exclusives!
