First up is a passholder-exclusive magnet featuring Kermit playing his banjo. Passholders can pick one of these up at the Mickey Shorts Theater from park opening to park close. These magnets will only be available from August 11 to September 24. In order to grab one, passholders must show their annual pass card, a valid photo ID, and a linked MagicBand, MagicBand+, or Disney MagicMobile pass. There is a limit of one magnet per passholder, and they are only available while supplies last.
Next is the Key Lime Kermit Milk Shake, which will be available at Dockside Diner from August 11 to September 24. The milkshake consists of vanilla ice cream, key lime cake crumbs, key lime sauce, and sprinkles. Passholders can purchase this milkshake during the quick service spot’s regular operating hours, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while supplies last. Once again, you will have to be ready to show a valid annual pass and a valid photo ID upon purchase.
Finally, passholders will have a limited-time PhotoPass photo op with Kermit and his banjo. This location can be found near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at the end of Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood Studios. There will also be a banjo prop available. This photo location will be open for passholders from August 11 to September 24, between the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

As with all the other perks, passholders must show a valid annual pass and a valid photo ID. These PhotoPass photos will only be available for download while the annual pass is valid. After a pass expires, guests can still access and download their photos as long as the photo is stored within the PhotoPass system, and will only be available for one year (365 days) after the photo was taken.
Even though this photo op is a special perk for passholders, an annual pass does not include the PhotoPass package, as it is a separate service that passholders can add to their annual pass.
In addition to all of these perks for annual passholders, Disney Vacation Club members also currently get to enjoy exclusive perks. There are many new ones for their Welcome Home Weeks, which is about a month of discounts and perks. Some of these perks for Disney World guests include exclusive character meetings, dining discounts at select restaurants, and some free treats at certain locations across the property.
