Disney to pause Disney World and Disneyland Annual Passholder Monthly Payments starting this weekend

With the Disney World and Disneyland parks being closed until further notice we do have some good news to share… Disney will be pausing Disney World and Disneyland Annual Passholder Monthly Payments starting on April 5th, for those who have paid in full your Annual Passes will be extended for the number of days the parks are closed.

Here are the full details for Disney World:

This is a truly unprecedented time for all of us, and we want to thank you for your patience as we work through the many details related to the temporary closure of the theme parks. We recognize this may be a challenging time, so we wanted to share how we will assist our Annual Passholders.


If you are an Annual Passholder who has paid in full:
As previously announced, all active Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passes will be extended for the number of days the parks are closed. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s account prior to the reopening of the theme parks.

As an alternative, in lieu of an extension of their passes, Passholders who have paid in full may choose to receive a partial refund for the theme park closure period. Information will be provided soon on how to choose this option.

If you are an Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan:
Effective April 5, 2020, we will automatically stop and waive all upcoming monthly payments while the theme parks are closed. We will also retroactively refund payments made between March 14 through April 4, 2020. Payments will resume on the Passholder’s regularly scheduled payment dates once the parks reopen. Please note, pass expiration dates will not be extended and passes will expire upon their originally scheduled expiration dates.

As an alternative, Guests who are paying for Walt Disney World Annual Passes using our monthly payment program may choose to have their monthly payments postponed starting with payments due April 5 through the park closure period, and then resumed on the Passholder’s regularly scheduled payment date once the parks reopen. Postponed payments will be collected in the months following the end of the Passholder’s currently scheduled payment term. The pass will be extended the number of days the parks are closed. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s account prior to the reopening of the theme parks. Information will be provided soon on how to choose this option.

Our Annual Passholders are some of our most loyal Guests, and we stand ready to help during this incredibly uncertain time. If you have any questions, please contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 739-7277. We do anticipate heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries.

Dining & Other Experiences

All pre-paid dining and experience reservations impacted by the closure will be automatically refunded if scheduled between March 16, 2020 through the end of the closure period.

Reservations made at locations impacted by the closure will not be charged a cancellation or no-show fee.

All active Tables in Wonderland members will be extended by the number of days the parks are closed.
