Disney World Ride Closure ALERTS, Major Park Changes, Secrets Revealed
Get alerts on closures, park changes, exclusive discounts, and free printables. Trusted by 100,000+ Disney fans & planners.
These discounts are only valid Monday through Thursday, and only apply to the regular price of food and nonalcoholic beverages during a dine-in service. This also means that tax and gratuity are not included under these discounts.
To gain access to these discounts, you must be a Disney World Annual Passholder and present a valid Annual Pass ID through your My Disney Experience app, as well as a valid photo ID. Passholders can use this discount for themselves and up to three other guests. Other important information to know as a Passholder is that you can visit any park after 2:00 PM without a park reservation. The only exception to this rule is Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. Block-out dates for Passholders still apply.
Of course, with any discounted offer, there are exclusions to these terms. The V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days promotion cannot be combined with any other discounts, promotions, or offers that may be happening at the same time. Special events and dining packages, like the EPCOT event dining packages and the Fantasmic! dining packages are excluded.
