It’s hard to believe 2026 V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days will soon come to an end. If you’re an Annual Passholder, your last day to grab tons of extra perks, discounts, and freebies is July 31, 2026. That’s just days away; it’s about to be August in Disney World! Today, we’re going to recap everything MouseHouseNews.net has covered during this Passholder appreciation celebration. Don’t miss out on these limited-time offerings if you’re eligible!
Exclusive Magnet
Everyone gets really excited when a new Passholder magnet is announced. The design for Summer 2026 features one of Disney and Pixar’s most recognizable duos: Woody and Buzz Lightyear. This magnet is available exclusively to Annual Passholders while supplies last during V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days. If you haven’t already secured your magnet, head to Creations Shop in EPCOT. Be ready to show your valid Annual Pass and photo ID.
Passholder Merchandise
While you’re in Creations Shop for your magnet, you can also browse the popular Passholder-exclusive merchandise collection. The collection, known as Passholder Yellow, features the following items:
- Adult Tee
- Adult Hoodie
- Loungefly Crossbody & Coin Bag – SOLD OUT
- Baseball Cap
- CORKCICLE Water Bottle
As with the other limited time perks, the items in this collection are available while supplies last. I will say, earlier in the event, the MouseHouseNews.net team unfortunately already noticed a glaring lack of merchandise availability. Since that time, the collection has become available at other merchandise locations around property. If you’re trying to track down this collection, Disney states it is also available at the following locations:
- Emporium in Magic Kingdom
- Discovery Trading Company in Animal Kingdom
- World of Disney in Disney Springs
Popcorn Bucket
In keeping with the theme of “while supplies last”, there is (was?) a Passholder-exclusive popcorn bucket for V.I.PASSHOLER Summer Days. I’m going to admit, this one was elusive! At the beginning of June, I tried my best to track it down at several of the specified popcorn carts. Each time, I was told that it had sold out early in the event. Just know that if you successfully purchased one, I’m very jealous of you!
Since that time, Disney has updated the list indicating where you can find it. Currently, it is only listed as being at the following locations:
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Chakranadi – near Maharajah Jungle Trek
- Disney Springs: Main Stage Cart in the Marketplace section near World of Disney
Passholder Lounge
The return of the Passholder Lounge is one of the most exciting benefits. You’ll find the lounge inside Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion. Annual Passholders can stop by daily from 11AM to 7PM for the following:
- Air-conditioned seating
- Complimentary snacks and water
- Moroccan mint tea
- A unique PhotoPass Magic Shot
- An exclusive Passholder collectible button featuring Mickey Mouse sporting his cool sunglasses
Exclusive Cake Pop
Over in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion, Karamell-Küche has a Passholder-exclusive Mickey Chocolate Cake Pop topped with Werther’s Original caramel. This delicious treat is made of chocolate cake with a dark chocolate coating, drizzle of Werther’s Original® Caramel, and yellow sprinkles for that extra nod to Annual Passholders. Marcus highly recommends it! Plus, I want to give you a pro tip: Karamell-Küche offers mobile ordering. You can get your Mickey Chocolate Cake Pop (or any other treat) and be on your way without waiting in line.
Character Meet-and-Greet
The perks keep coming at EPCOT (it really feels like Passholder Central over there!). Passholders can meet “some of Mickey’s best pals” at the exclusive character meet-and-greet in the Magic Eye Theater. This location is tucked away in the Imagination Pavilion, with more of a “if you know, you know” energy as a result. Passholders can stop by between 10AM to 6PM daily for this exclusive opportunity.
Joffrey’s Summer Days Coffee Challenge
As a coffee fan, one of my favorite activities during V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days was the Joffrey’s Summer Days Coffee Challenge. If you are also a coffee lover, you have until July 31st to complete this challenge for a prize.
Completing the challenge requires visiting all four theme parks plus Disney Springs. Each location has its own featured beverage. You must purchase one of each participating beverage and collect a stamp for each purchase to earn a reward. Prizes are available while supplies last.
In case inquiring minds want to know, my favorite drink was the Forbidden Mountain Cold Brew from Animal Kingdom. You can follow along with me on my journey to completion if you want to learn all about the drinks and the prize!
Toy Story Perks at Hollywood Studios
Disney released a couple of extra Toy Story-themed Passholder perks at Hollywood Studios, just in time for the June 19th theatrical release of Toy Story 5:
- Head to Grand Avenue daily between 10:00am and 4:00pm for a specially themed Magic Shot featuring Jessie and Bullseye!
- Over at Woody’s Lunchbox, Annual Passholders can lasso up the Screen Time Swirl Float. This treat is inspired by Lily Pad, the main antagonist in Toy Story 5. The float is made of vanilla soft-serve and Coca-Cola® Zero Sugar topped with chocolate cookie crumbs and a gummy candy frog. This exclusive item is available during regular operating hours until July 31st.
Annual Passholder Tumbler
Show off your Passholder status as you sip from a Passholder-exclusive tumbler featuring artwork by Joey Chou! The non-refillable tumbler is available via mobile order during V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days while supplies last. You are able to get the tumbler with your choice of non-alcoholic beverage from the following locations:
- Backlot Express and Dockside Diner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Pizzafari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
- Connections Eatery and Regal Eagle Smokehouse at EPCOT
Dining Discounts
While Annual Passholders typically enjoy a 10% discount on regular food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases at participating restaurants year-round, during V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days, Annual Passholders can enjoy increased dining discounts at select restaurants. This includes some new restaurants that haven’t participated in previous V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer events. If you’re interested, you’ll need to hurry.
