Being a Disney World Annual Passholder not only gives you year-round access to the park (depending on your pass and its blockout dates), but it also comes with so many different perks!
Disney World Annual Pass
There are so many different perks and discounts that you can take advantage of as a Passholder at each of the four parks. However, it looks like EPCOT is the place to be as a Passholder this summer!
If youāre an Annual Passholder, weāre sure youāve been going to EPCOT quite a bit lately. About a month ago, Disney released a new Annual Passholder magnet featuring the iconic villain from Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent. The magnet could only be picked up at the Creations shop. Theyāre still handing them out, so donāt worry if you havenāt got your hands on one yet.

Then Disney opened up its Annual Passholder lounge located in, you guessed it, EPCOT! More specifically, in the Morocco Pavilion in World Showcase. Itās a great place to relax, recharge, and refresh!Ā The lounge offers a charging station, a place to sit in AC, snacks and water, and even an exclusive magical photo op. You wonāt want to miss checking this place out!

What weāre really here to talk about, though, is probably our favorite Passholder perk of them all! Did you know that there is an EXCLUSIVE meet and greet for Passholders only? You need to make your way over to a tiny store called Der Teddybar, over in the Germany Pavilion in World Showcase.
Itās Der Teddybar!
Before you enter, a Cast Member will need to verify youāre an Annual Passholder. After that, youāll enter to see what surprise is in store for you!
Youāll enter this cute little shop with all sorts of crafts, tools, and trinkets around the place. The design on the interior is very cute, and it looks like a store that a group of craftsmen would put together. It definitely gives you a hint at who you may run into inside! Who do you think it could be?
Dopey!
ITāS DOPEY! Thatās right, Annual Passholders can go to EPCOT to visit one of the seven dwarfs. He likes to show off his gem collection, display the flowers he planted, and of course, take pictures!Ā

Now Annual Passholders have even more reason to go to EPCOT! Next time youāre at the park, make sure to stop by and say hi to the beloved character. For more Disney news and updates, be sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog.
