Did you know there’s a whole section of the My Disney Experience app packed with exclusive Annual Passholder perks?
Disney doesn’t always make it easy to find the best deals and benefits, but that’s why we’re here. If you’re an Annual Passholder, there’s a hidden gem in the app called Passholder Buzz, and it’s loaded with discounts, merch, and even reservation-free park entry on select days. We’re giving you the full tour so you don’t miss out on any of these perks!
Welcome to the Passholder Buzz!
First things first—open up your My Disney Experience app and find the Passholder Buzz section.
This is your go-to hub for all things Annual Passholder-related. You’ll find updates on special events, exclusive merchandise, and perks that might not be advertised anywhere else—just for you! Think of it as your personal Passholder control center—no searching, no guessing, just all the best deals and benefits in one place. Just know that it’s constantly updating, so you’ll want to check back often.
Merch, Events, and Discounts—Oh My!
So what exactly can you find in Passholder Buzz? Let’s break it down:
- Passholder Merchandise – You know those exclusive, limited-edition Disney items that seem to sell out before you even hear about them? This is where you’ll find the latest merch drops. Whether it’s a new mug, a special Annual Passholder T-shirt, or themed festival gear, Passholder Buzz keeps you updated so you don’t miss out.
- Explore the Festival – If you love Epcot festivals (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), you’ll want to check this section frequently. Here, you’ll find information on exclusive Passholder perks at events like the Flower & Garden Festival or the Food & Wine Festival. Disney sometimes offers reserved seating, extra discounts, or limited-time treats just for Passholders.
- Passholder Program Discounts – This is where you’ll find discounts in souvenirs, meals, experiences, and more all throughout Walt Disney World.
- Resort Offers & Special Events – Staying on Disney property? You might find some hidden discounts on resort stays here. Plus, if Disney is hosting an After Hours event, you’ll usually get a Passholder discount—sometimes up to 50% off ticket prices.
- Food & Shopping Discounts – In this section you’ll find updates with the latest discount offers, whether it’s for a table-service restaurant or a quick-service spot you might not have considered. Dining discounts usually range from 10% to 20%, and select merchandise locations also offer savings.
If you’re planning a big souvenir haul or just want to save on dinner, always check Passholder Buzz first.
Passholder Tips & Tools
This is where you’ll find out how to use your Annual Pass to make your trip even more magical. First up, you’ll see several videos that will help you take advantage of Disney MagicMobile Service, merchandise mobile checkout, and more!
Still a bit confused about Good-To-Go Days? Well, here’s where the app breaks it all down for you. Those Good-To-Go Days are the select days when Passholders can visit a Disney World theme park without a park reservation.
Now, Disney announces them in advance, and you can check them right here. On those days, you can walk into the park with no extra steps—just scan your pass and go. Also, even if it’s not a Good-To-Go Day, Passholders can still enter any park without a reservation after 2 PM (except Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays).
How to Stay in the Loop
With all these perks constantly changing, how do you make sure you never miss out?
- Check Passholder Buzz Regularly – The perks and deals update often, so make it a habit to check in before any Disney trip.
- Turn on Notifications – Disney sometimes sends Passholder-exclusive alerts through the My Disney Experience app.
The Passholder Buzz section of the My Disney Experience app is the key to unlocking the full potential of your Annual Pass. Whether it’s snagging a discount, skipping reservations on Good-To-Go Days, or grabbing the latest exclusive merch, this hidden gem is packed with value. So next time you open the app, don’t just check ride wait times—dive into Passholder Buzz and make sure you’re getting all the perks you deserve!
